Tuning: Standard (Capo I)
I play this on my acoustic. It's in G# transposed to G
here so capo on the first fret.
I play the intro strumming chords but if you want to
sound like the recording it's this:
Riff 1:
Very fast strumming----| x x x
e|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8---9--9--9--x--|| B|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---9--9--9--x--|| G|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--10-10-10--x--|| Play 4x D|--------------------------------------|| A|--------------------------------------|| E|--------------------------------------||
Elton's guitar player uses this pattern throughout the breaks between verses.
He mixes it up with different speeds and rhythms but that's the gist of it.
Don't copy him, play it your way! Here's the chords and changes:
Capo I
G C G
I was justified when I was five
C G D G
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
F C
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
C G D G
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Riff 1 x 2
Eat m[G]eat on Friday t[C]hat's [G]alright

Chorus:
G D
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, oh the bitch is back
G C
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can [D]bitch, I can bitch, `Cause I'm better than you
It's the [F]way that I move
D G
The things that I do, oh
Riff 1 x 4
[G]I entertain by [C]picking [G]brains
[C]Sell my so[G]ul by dr[D]opping na[G]mes
