Topic: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

This is a great happy little song from Chris Isaak's latest album, Mr. Lucky. It doesn't sound too difficult to figure out if you have an ear for that kind of thing. I am still a new player. I am looking for this song for the Ukulele in particular, but i can work with guitar tab.
thanks!

Re: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

I too did a search all over google and couldn't find anything either.  Perhaps if you could put a link up with the music playing for one of the "magic ears" around here to help ya out!  smile

Re: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

I looked all over also and nothing.  I really like Chris Isaak.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

Hmm gave the song a listen and try this...

F  C  F  A#  F  C  F  A#  F  C  A#       I was playing on guitar with E shaped barre chords (1 8 1 6) with a bass note then plucking of lower strings....   Hope that helps some!   Cool song by the way!


Here's a cover that's fairly easy to follow along with... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvDZkOubS18

Re: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

Good job, Pix.
At first glance, I wonder why he didn't play that song a half step lower in E. If you are using a chop rhythm, covered chords are sometimes preferred.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

Re: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

Re: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

is this song by the original artist anywhere to be found online just to listen to?  I'm really interested in hearing this now after hearing the cover (the guy was decent, but I BET it sounds stinkin AWESOME by the artist).  NEVER heard it before!

Re: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

Thanks for trying to help everyone! I will try to work with the guitar chords...unfortunately, I only picked up the Uke this winter, and have never played before...so sometimes I have no idea what people are talking about when they give me advice... But, that's how we learn, right? So for now, just keep me in mind if you come across this song! Thanks again!

Re: Tabs and Chords to Chris Isaak, We've Got Tomorrow

OK got home and tuned up the uke and gave it a go...
  Tried getting it down including the bass notes but it took a lot of stretching and awkward fingering for me to get them to sound right so I scraped that idea smile Played around with it some more and it ended up really simple big_smile In uke tuning GCEA, use the same chords F (2010), C (0001)  &  A# (3211) in the same order as in my previous post.
  I found a tap pluck pattern worked really well.... What I mean by that is instead of hitting the bass note, simply use your finger tips to tap the fretboard giving you a beat and then pluck all 4 strings together. Play along with the song for a bit using that pattern and the rhythm will fall into place. Once you get used to it you can work in a little palm muting and/or releasing the chord with your fretting hand right after the string pluck to shorten the chord so it matches even better.  Hope that helps some... -Pix
