"Movin On"
by Mick Ralphs
from the album Bad Company

This is one of my favorite songs, so I decided to share it.  If you have
any corrections, please let me know.  Have fun!

Intro

E-----------------------------------
B--8-------6-------5--5h6--6---5----
G--7-------5-------5--5----5---5----
D--9-------7-------5--5h7--7---5----
A-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------
Play twice, with slight variation.

Another idea for those first two chords is below.  I haven¹t decided
which way I prefer. They¹re pretty similar.

E--3-------1------------------------
B--1-------1-------5--5h6--6---5----
G--3-------2-------5--5----5---5----
D----------3-------5--5h7--7---5----
A-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------

Ok, on to the verse.  I don¹t know all the chord names, so I¹ll do my
best to give you the picking pattern.  It¹s basically G,C


[G]I get up in the morning ...

D-12---12-14--x-12-x-14----5---5-7--x-5-x-7------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------

Play this again until you reach the C chord, then use this ending to
bring you into the chorus

   gotta show tonight ....
E--------------------------------------------------------
B----5-----7-----8------9----------10-------11--11--10---
G----5-----7-----8------9----------10--10---10--10--10---

B--5------6-x-6-x-6---5---
G--5---5--5-x-5-x-5---5---
D--5---5--7-x-7-x-7---5---
A-------------------------
E-------------------------

Ok, so I didn¹t do such a great job of giving the rhythm, but the chords
are there.  Listen to the record to get the feel.

There is a little riff at the end of the chorus that takes you into the
second verse.  Here is how I fake it:

E-------------------------
B-------------------------
G--/9---9-7-5-7-5---------
D--/9---9-7-5-7-5---------
A-------------------------
E-------------------------

I also worked out a little bit of the solo. All in C minor pentatonic, I
believe.

E--------------------------8----8----11b13-------
B--8h11p8--11b13---11-8-11---11------------------
