"Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)" By John Mellencamp Transcribed by Matt McClain (Divine Inspiration by Tiffany Waggoner) This song is played in "G" but you tune down 1/2 step, so it is really in Gb. I guess John thinks he's in Alice In Chains or something. I have typed this in by memory, so this may not be 100% accurate, but it is fun to play. I like to slow this song down and play it on my friend's 12 string. Enjoy.
[Alternate between G and D chords]
[Main Riff] (in Gb major scale- very easy to pick up)
Eb:-7----10-7--- Then you can play anything in the Gb
Bb:---10------8- major scale to connect this riff
Gb:------------- when it repeats at various intervals
Db:------------- in the song.
Ab--------------
Eb--------------

This posting is for Tiffany. I love her very very very very much.
She is the reason that I write and play music.
