Baltimore Blues No 1


by: JR I believe the other tab out there had pretty much everything perfect, but the chord progression listed can be a bit tricky for beginners. I found that playing with a capo for this particular song is much much easier, and after watching a live version of it, it seems this is how it was played anyway. Capo: 5th fret Intro: Am C Dm F (2x) Am C Dm F (for this Am chord, I like strike it just once, and a bit harder to go with the guitar riff, but not necessary) Am C Dm F Verse: Same as intro Am C Dm F Again, you can strum harder when the riff sounds, just for a bit of variation. Bridge between these two lines: Don't you know they're gonna' save my soul (simply strum Am until the verse chord progression begins on the next line) I can't hang around with you like this my friend Chorus: I set out to disappear And out there I found a new home But listen Jack, you're on the wrong side of the tracks At least now I don't have to walk it all alone Am G F C Em Dm Am G F C Em E7 If you don't want to, or can't do a barred F, you can get away with playing it as such: F 1 (index) 1 (index) 2 (middle) 3 (ring) x x Contact me at jar1@pct.edu, I'll be happy to receive any criticism, praise, or questions :]
