Chords with lyrics
-------------------------------- Thumbing my way ..... -------------------------------- by Pearly Jam Necklace Tabbed from the wet slopes of western Kenya by Richie 'Rich' Herbert for Monsieur Cranefly aka Tall John. If my guitar is tuned correctly (which I think it is) then this is played with CAPO 1. Therefore, the D MajorD chord played is technically an E MajorE flat, but we don't need to worry about that. I have simply written a D MajorD (E MajorE flat) as a D. Here is the bass of the thing, to start you rocking. e --------|-----------|-------- BB --------|-----------|-------- G+G --------|-----------|-------- D MajorD --0--4--|--4--2--0--|-------- A augmentedA --------|-----------|--2--0-- E MajorE --------|-----------|-------- (Bear this bass in mind when strumming through the D MajorD section.) Here are the shapes of the chords used in the D MajorD section, and the order in which they are all played. (I don't know what all the chord names are, so I'll just make them up.)

Refer to the bass bit at the top and then piece it together using the folowing chords. D D MajorD add F# D MajorD add E MajorE / D MajorD sus A augmentedA / D MajorD add BB / A major 6A6 NOTE: When I write A6, you can play the A major 6A6 add D MajorD shape first and pull off to create a twiddly-dee effect - but don't over do it mate, you're not Kenny Rogers!
