Ray Lamontagne - Hey Me Hey Mama This tab adds the C7C7 transition to the FF that can be heard on every video on youtube but is missing from other tabs I've referenced while learning this song myself. Hope you all enjoy it, check out this video if want to hear the magic way that Ray does it. studio version: https://youtu.be/RsdyWG_VmXw live version: https://youtu.be/zHK9VpQoH-s contributed by: scottLaRocker tuning: standard chord forms: e|--1-------1--------3--------3--------0--------0------| BB|--1-------1--------3--------3--------1--------1------| G+G|--2-------2--------4--------4--------0--------3------| D MajorD|--3-------1--------5--------3--------2--------2------| A augmentedA|--3-------3--------5--------5--------3--------3------| E MajorE|-t1-------1-------t1--------3--------x--------x------| FF F7F7 G+G G7G7 C majorC C7C7 t = thumb (watch Ray do it) Each line of the verse is 2 measures of 4/4 for each line of the phrase, strummed with some swing to it. You can play around with switching between FF to F7F7 and G+G to G7G7 during the verses. Also, work in some 4th, 5th and 6th string hammer-on's to magnify the folky blues of the prevailing 7th chord nature of this song. For example (and don't forget to add some swing to your strumming here): m = muted strum (use right hand to subtly mute the strings just to the left of the bridge on the up-strokes, or just play the up-stroke really lightly) d = down strum u = up strum 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & d u d u d u d u | d fp fp fp fp fp fp e|--1------1m---1------1m---1------1m---1------1m---|---1----------(1)----(1)-fp3-----p1---(1)----(1)---| BB|--1------1m---1------1m---1------1m---1------1m---|---1----------(1)---fp1---(1)----(1)-fp3-----p1----| G+G|--2------2m---2------2m---2------2m---2------2m---|---2------fp1-h2-----(2)--(2)----(2)--(2)----(2)---| D MajorD|--3------3m---3------3m---3------3m---3------3m---|---3----------p1-----(1)--(1)----(1)--(1)----(1)---| A augmentedA|--3------3m---3------3m---3------3m---3------3m---|---3----------(3)----(3)--(3)----(3)--(3)----(3)---| E MajorE|--1------1m---1------1m---1------1m---1------1m---|---1-----------1-----(1)---1-----(1)---1-----(1)---| FF FF FF FF FF F7F7 F7F7 F7F7 h = hammer on p = pull off fp = finger pick the note (#) = keep holding the finger down from previous chord to let it ring while hammering transition notes Verse I FF Papa's in the kitchen, G+G Mama's in the field C majorC There's a murder in the henhouse C7C7 FF Mud flung high upon the wheels Verse II FF Ol' rooster in the dooryard G+G He's just leanin' on the horn C majorC With the wind so sweetly driftin' C7C7 FF Through the ripening corn Chorus FF G+G Hey Me, Hey Mama C majorC FF C majorC Where you been for so long, for so long?
