... playing the F#m pentatonic over it.
A major pentatonic.
BGD: Either one will work, right? Same scale, just a different root?
Or does the major/relative minor trick not work on pentatonic scales?
Hello.
Link to Billy Parker's version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdvX7rfjqXo
It's pretty much a 3-chord country song recorded in Bb. If you want to be in tune with the recording, put a capo on fret 1 and use A fingering (open chords A, D and E, with either a barre B or open B7 in the chorus).
Intro: D - A - E - A
Verse 1:
I've (A)never ... (D)gold ... (A)pearly ... (E)roll
I've (A)never ... (D)blew ... (A)everyday ... (E)I come home to (A)you
Chorus:
They (E)say ... (D)one ... (A)touch. But (B*)they ... (E)touches ... much.
(A)They say ... (D)true. I ... (A)everyday ... (E)I come home to (A)you
* = or B7 (x21202)
Then repeat the intro for the turnaround into the next verse.
Then verse 2 and another chorus.
Then the outro, which is a repeat of the last line of the chorus.
The above is a simplified version which will get you started. Embellish it with sus and 7 chords as needed to suit your ear and change the key with the capo or by transposing as needed to suit the singer's voice.
I couldn't find the lyrics written down anywhere, but here's a video of somebody else's version in a different key which has the lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR0s-OXAwA4
Good luck with it.
Welcome to the forum.
The four chords I'm hearing in the intro are: C - Bb - F - Eb, but I think the guitar is in non-standard tuning. The bass note on the 4th chord is lower than my low E.
If you want to be in tune with the recording, try tuning down a half step and playing all of the chords above as barres transposed +1.
Here's a page with some of their songs, and the specific one you asked for is on it:
http://www.77s.com/guitar/index.html
I don't know the song, so I don't know how accurate it is. If it doesn't work for you then Google this:
for crying out loud chords 77s
Several versions available apparently.
EDIT: PS - welcome to the forum.
Hi Butch. I couldn't find a tab for it so I took a shot at it. Here's a simplified version that will get you started.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTDFO9vB_EI
The song is in Bb but he's playing it using A fingering. Put a capo on fret 1.
String: fret
6: 0h2
5: 0h3s4p0
6: 2p0
then follow it with an open A.
Play around with that and add to it as needed to suit your ears.
Hi and welcome. I struck out on trying to find the chords also. I don't do very well trying to pick out chords from a piano or orchestral arrangement. Maybe if you can find and post a link to an acoustic guitar version of the song I might be able to pick them out for you.
Hi and welcome to the forum.
The link you posted is only a 1 minute teaser of the song, so that's all I can give you.
The intro is played on the 6th string, fretting as follows:
0-0-0-3-3-3-3-3-10-10-10-8-8-8-8-8
Then play the corresponding chords (open) over and over using the same rhythm: E G D C.
Good luck with it.
Thanks for the second set of ears, BGD.
See, I CAN be taught! 
Wow, that is what I call goin' above and beyond the call!!!
Thanks so much for the help, sir. Figuring out the chords to a song is one talent I wish I could master, and I stand in awe of those of you who can! Now I just gotta get it to sound good on my banjo...
Again, thanks!
You're quite welcome. As far as mastering the talent, I don't consider myself a master, but you can do it too. I've had a number of people email me and ask what the secret or trick is to finding the chords to a song. I tell them that there are no secrets or tricks, just some ear training and practice.
There are probably videos available on line (I haven't looked), but I could probably share how I do it if there is enough interest.
Hi Z. I'll be of little help on this because I'm not much of a picker, but it sounds to me like he's riffing on the Fm pentatonic scale.
E: 1,4
A: 1,3
D: 1,3
G: 1,3
B: 1,4
e: 1
Have a listen to this and then re-listen to Joe's video a few times and see if you can pick out what he's doing.

Best I can do.
This is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXsw3O_m1Nw
***Edited to add:
Here's what I got. It's in the key of A.
Chorus:
We ... (A)dancin' (D)across the (E)us(A)a (D) (E)
On ... (A)crazy ... high(E)way (Esus4)(E)
Too ... (A)passion (A7), too ... (D)play (Dm)
We went (A)dancin'(D)dancin'(E)dancin' ... (E7)us(A)a (D)(A)(E)
Verse 1:
Well ... (A)curtain...early,(D) so they (A)say (D) (A)
(A)Some ... and (E)stay (Esus4)(E)
So (A)have ... friend, (A7)Buttercup ... (D)through
You ... (E)I always (C#m)love 'em (F#m)but I (D)think ... we (E)flew
Then another chorus, then verse 2, then a final chorus, and then the outro. The outro is just the last line of the chorus repeated over and over.
Lyrics here if needed: http://lyrics.wikia.com/Lindsey_Buckingham%3ADancin'_Across_The_USA
Good luck with it.
You're welcome. Come on back. We have a lot of fun here.
I saw the quote as a caption on a picture of the running of the bulls in Spain, which showed some poor schmuck being trampled. Tradition doesn't necessarily manifest itself as intelligence.
[The kid is missing an experience everyone should have at least once!
Yep. There are very few "perfect" albums out there. IMHO, Dark Side of the Moon is one of them. Nirvana's "Nevermind" is another one.
Hey, this could be a thread of its own: What is your "Perfect" album? Maybe I'll start it.
EDIT: I'm in the throws of a bit of insomnia, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. (Boo! Hiss!)
So is it going to be 3 or 5 eastern?
Scott, since you and I are both on "Texas time" we'll talk central for now. I'm going to see if Jeff is online at 4:00 pm, maybe a smidge earlier if I can swing it. Hopefully he and the others will be well lubricated and warmed up by then. I suggest you check in periodically starting at 2:00 pm.
Jeff will obviously have final say on when it goes down since he is hosting.
I can't speak for anyone else, but for me that will never happen. I will never be able to play that well. I can play some stuff and as the years go by I do get better. But never will they match, my love for guitars and playing and my talent.
+1.
I'll always be my own worst critic. The more I play, the more I enjoy it and the better I get, but my talent will always fall short.
But, Fire art, if and when you do get to that point, I say good for you.
Welcome to the forum. That's a nice song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAJM0Jgir4I
You didn't say you wanted the chords for it, but here they are anyway:
If you're still going at around 5:00 pm (eastern) I will try to join. I'm tied up until then.
I heard once that one of the guys in ZZ Top plays his guitar with a quarter. But then again, if you're in ZZ Top and have access to lotsa strings and lotsa guitar techs to change them out for you really frequently, it's probably OK.
But I'm not, and I don't, so I'll stick with plastic.
Welcome to the forum.
I googled: Zac Brown Free Chords
This was the first hit: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/z/zac_b … ee_crd.htm
Here's an interesting Yahoo blog about Pink Floyd's album which is hitting a milestone this month.
http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-p … 27757.html
If you've never done the "Dark Side of the Rainbow" thing, there's a link to a YouTube video at the bottom.
You're welcome.
The line that gave me the most headache was the one in the chorus which says: "...know that's not enough"
He goes to the Bb at "know" and stays on Bb all the way through that line before walking down to the Gm via Bb/A. My ear kept expecting to hear a resolution to F on "know" and THEN the Bb on "-nough", but it never came. I had to listen to it about 20 times before I convinced myself that the Bb was right.
Also, if you're looking for a chord for transition between the chorus and the verse (or between the F and the Dm), try an A7.
Hi and welcome to the forums.
Ultimate Guitar has a Tab Pro version of this song which includes the intro. The demo is free.

Click the Tab Pro version of the song, let it load, and then click the play (right arrow) button at the top.
Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
I WAS going to rant and rail about the list having zero credibility because Robert Johnson was "ranked" as #45, but then I realized the list is in alphabetical order.
I mean, the site IS called "ranker", after all.
Sometimes we both wonder how we ende up staying together, but I guess its that way with all people who have made it to 20 yrs and beyond.
The dynamic between my wife and me (married 22 years) is interesting. We often talk (not angrily) about how we tend to get on each others' nerves from time to time. I've often told my wife: "I would take a hail of bullets while walking through the fires of hell for you, but you sometimes drive me crazier than any woman should be allowed to do to a man." Her response is simply: "Ditto, big boy." So as long as we both acknowledge that, we're fine.
The cool part though, is that even though we can get on each OTHERS' nerves, we are fiercely defensive of each other. Her attitude is: "I'm allowed to pick on my husband, but if anybody else does, I'm goin' mama grizzly on them", and I feel the same way.
We also know each other so well that we keep each other out of trouble in social situations, similar to what beamer described. For example, my wife and I are both terrible with names. We will meet someone she knows in a public place or a social situation, and I can tell right away that she has forgotten their name because she doesn't say it immediately when she says hello to them. I immediately jump in and offer my hand and introduce myself, and after the other person says their name, my wife will say: "I'm sorry (e.g.) Donna, I should have introduced you to my husband." Then we banter jokingly about how rude my wife is, how I can't take her anywhere, etc. etc.
Bottom line: In my world, the benefits far outweigh the times when she gets on my nerves. We take the time to recognize and acknowledge that fact. That's what keeps people together I think.
