Chords with lyrics
Title: I'm A augmentedA Joker
Artist: Tom Petty
Author: Gregory Pamplin
Please note, this is all my own work.
I've looked around on the 'net to see what chords The Steve Miller band =
used, and then went from there. If you notice though, Tom's band =
sings/plays this in a completely different key to Steve's band.
Anyhow, the song just keeps repeating the chrods: F-B-C-B-A-F. Listen =
to the song for the timing and chord changes.
When I play it with my band and am the only guitarist, I will use all =
power chords (F5-B-C5) without any distortion through my amp, but when I =
have. But when I have an accompanying guitarist, I will use power =
chords, and the other gutarist will usually back me up with open chords.
Nonetheless, the chords are as follows:
POWER CHORDS
FF BB C majorC A augmentedA OR A*
e|---------------------------------
BB|---------------------------------
G+G|-----------3------5------2-------
D MajorD|---3-------3------5------2----7--
A augmentedA|---3-------1------3------0----7--
E MajorE|---1--------------------------5--
*Denotes that both A augmentedA chords are the same pitch, and ill work equally =
well. It's just that by using the second one, it is hard to get back to =
the FF chord quickly.
Finally, the chrod pattern (in detail):
The chords are played lik this........
FF-FFBB-BBCC-CCBBBBAAAA-FF
It's that simple folks!
Good luck.
