Rubin) Subject: Re: Good Shepherd (Traditional) by Jefferson Airplane o The following should help you get started. It's what I transcribed from the record a while back; no guarantees of accuracy, etc. In particular, I think the signature acoustic guitar riff (marked "intro" below, but really runs through the whole song) is played by two guitars, one or both of them in an open tuning. I think the notes I have are right, but the voicings aren't. o Also, I didn't tab the electric guitar lead part. It's fairly easy to figure out and play. artist: Jefferson Airplane song: Good Shepherd album: Volunteers intro: E E D Asus2 -or- D Asus2 e-|--0--0--------------------0--------------2--2--2--2--0--------------------- B-|--0--0--------3--3--3--3--0--------------0--2--3--2--0--------------------- G-|--1--1--------2--2--2--2--2--------------2--2--2--2--2--------------------- D-|--2--2--------0--0--0--0--2--------------------------2--------------------- A-|--2--2--------2--4-----4--------------------------------------------------- E-|--0--0--------------------------------------------------------------------- ^-melody in bass ^-melody on "B" string verses: E D e-|--0-----2------------------------------------------------------------------ B-|--0-----3------------------------------------------------------------------ G-|--1-----2------------------------------------------------------------------ D-|--2-----0------------------------------------------------------------------ A-|--2------------------------------------------------------------------------ E-|--0------------------------------------------------------------------------ pre-chorus: E D F#m B e-|--0--------------2--------------2-----------------2------------------------ B-|--0--------------3--------------2-----------------4------------------------ G-|--1--------------2--------------2-----------------4------------------------ D-|--2--------------0--------------4-----------------4------------------------ A-|--2-----------------------------4-----------------2------------------------ E-|--0-----------------------------2-----------------2------------------------ Oh, good shepherd feed my sheep. chorus: E F#m Abm7 A e-|--0-----------2--------4-----------0--------------------------------------- B-|--0-----------2--------4-----------2--------------------------------------- G-|--1-----------2--------4-----------2--------------------------------------- D-|--2-----------4--------4-----------2--------------------------------------- A-|--2-----------4--------6-----------0--------------------------------------- E-|--0-----------2--------4--------------------------------------------------- One for Paul, one for Silas, E D E E D B e-|--0--------------2-----0--0--------2-----2--------------------------------- B-|--0--------------3-----0--0--------3-----4--------------------------------- G-|--1--------------2-----1--1--------2-----4--------------------------------- D-|--2--------------0-----2--2--------0-----4--------------------------------- A-|--2--------------------2--2--------------2--------------------------------- E-|--0--------------------0--0--------------2--------------------------------- One for to- day my heart with joy.
