replacements I think this already in the archive, but as I recall it was something of a minimalist version. Here's what I've figured out for the main guitar part. The second guitar throws in bits here and there. You're on your own for those. Ben McTernan bc80233@bingsuns.cc.binghamton.edu SWINGIN' PARTY (Capo on 2nd fret)
The verses consist of two main parts (Don't know how to denote this in terms of chords) Bring your own lampshade ... E-----0------------0-----------0--------------0------------------ B--------2------------2-----------2--------------2--------------- G-----------0------------0-----------0--------------0------------ D--0-------------2-----------4--------------2-------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- C Am Cmaj7 Am Here it's never ending can't ... E------0--------------0---------------0--------------0--------- B---------1--------------1---------------0--------------1------ G------------0--------------2---------------0--------------2--- D-------------------------------------------------------------- A--3---------------0---------------3--------------0------------ E-------------------------------------------------------------- These two progressions are alternated in irregular fashion until you get to "If bein' afraid is a crime...", where you play: E C Am Cmaj7 Am If bein' afraid is a crime ... E---0-----0-----------0---------------0---------0----0----0-0----0----- B---0--------0-------------0--------------0-----1----1----0-0----1----- G---1-----------1--------------1----------------0----2----0-0----2----- D---2--------------2---------------2------------2----2----2-2----2----- A---2-------------------------------------------3----0----3-3----0----- E---0------------------------------------------------------------------ D7 Am D7 At the swingin' party ....
