#Jailbird - Primal Scream
#from the album: Give out but don't give up
#transcribed by Gareth Clayton
#
#NOTE: A chord version of this song already exists, transcribed by Ben
#Smith.  However, it is not entirely correct:  he uses a D chord in place
#of a Bm, and an F#m chord instead of an F#.  Most importantly though, he
#doesn't include the riff which is, without doubt, the best bit.  I should
#however give Ben credit for making sense of the lyrics - something I could
#not have achieved in a thousand years!
#
#intro/main riff:
#
#    play for 3 bars                 play for one bar
#
#

#h = hammer on
#p = pull off
#
#This riff pretty much takes the form of an A chord, using
#the first finger to block out the top 4 strings.  Obviously
#the chords G->D->A conclude the fourth bar.
#
#Overall, this riff is a great way to combine picking with
#some funky strumming.  The "pull off" part labelled {useful}
#can be used throughout the song during the A chord.
#
#The chords for the rest of the song are as follows.
#
#verse 1:
[A]Scratchin' ..
G                Bm                G->D->A
I push and pull, ..
[A]I've got ...
G                  Bm                      G->D->A
got horse ...
[F#]push and pull ...[A]
[Bm]walk it like ...[D]
chorus:
[A]I'm yours, ..
[G]gimme more ....[D]
(repeat x3)
[A]I'm yours, you're mine
G->D->A
yeah yeah yeah
