Come on girl!===============================================================================CHORDS~~~~~~Original chord fingerings:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Van appears to have used a capo on the 3rd fret so the Eb is played as C, Bb isplayed as G, Ab as F and Gm as Em:E A D G B eEb chord: 0 3 2 0 1 0Bb chord: 3 2 0 0 0 3Ab chord: 1 3 3 2 1 1Gm chord: 0 2 2 0 0 0Optional chord fingerings: (without capo)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~E A D G B eEb chord: 6 6 8 8 8 6Bb chord: 6 8 8 7 6 6Gm chord: 3 3 5 5 4 3Ab chord: 4 6 6 5 4 4NOTES~~~~~If playing the C, G, Em, F shapes with a capo, the fills become easier to play.For example the intro can be played by playing the C-shape Eb major and hammer-ing onto the 4th string (D string), then using the 3rd fret on the same stringto play the final note of the fill. I personally tend to use the 2nd and 3rdfrets on the treble-e string (string 1) to play the fill leading into the lines"When that foghorn blows...". Experiment with it.As with nearly all of Van's songs, the timing of the lyrics seems free-form anddoesn't tie in with obvious beats in the rhythm. What's important is that yousing a word when you feel it's right, so don't worry if you end up playing thechord above one word when you're singing another. You will probably want toadd a few treble notes to some of the chords to match the original tune(especially the G minor chords). Unfortunately, most of us don't have two saxplayers on hand when we need them, so those gorgeous sax solos will be missing.That's life I'm afraid.Ryan.
