[Verse + Riff]
[E] I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step by the way
... we can do
I said, I must go back there
I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
[E7#9 or 076777]
Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
[Chorus G7add9]
[G7add9] "Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, [A#7add9] white boy
[A7] Lay down that [E7#9] boogie
And [B7#9] play that funky music 'til you die."

Big wheels keep on turning
Carrying me home to see my kin

And I think it's a sin, yes

A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

But I [A] know I had it coming, I know I can't be [E] free
But tho [B7] se people keep a moving, and that's what [E] tortures me
[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |
[Verse 4]
Well, if they [E] freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little [E7] farther down the line
[A] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to [E] stay
And I'd [B7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a [E] way
[End]
[Notes]
Solo whilst playing backbeat 1. Play up with first finger off beat notes against the snare hits - mainly notes on B and high E string - add
vibrato and slides to make it lively - use little finger to fret notes so can mute rest of strings with other fingers of left hand
- can also play double stops and 3 notes pull offs (i.e. E - 5p3p0)
Can use 3rd finger if want to apply more vibrato and give left hand more space to work against the capo
Rhythm 1 2&1&2&1
------ B-S-B-S-S but for Guido blues shuffle
Capo: 1st fret for original - RIFF 0221 4221 then A is x0222 x4222

Kenny Rogers-The Gambler
[Verse - No drums]
G C G
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
G G D
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to speak
G C G
So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness
C G D7 G
'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak.
G C G
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
G D
Knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes,
G C G
And if you don't mind me sayin', I can see you're out of aces,
C G D G
And for a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
(bass drum on 2 and 4 to begin with - no snare)
G C G
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow;
G G D
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light,
G C G
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression,
C G D G
' said "If you're gon na play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
[Chorus - Half time shuffle]
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
C G D
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
G D G C G
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
C G D G
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Verse]
A D A
Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
A E
Is knownin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep
A E A D A
'Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser,
D A E A
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
[Verse]
A D A
And when he finished speakin', he turned back toward the window,
A E
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep, (drums stop)
A E A D A
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even,
D A E A
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
[Chorus - Drums back in]
A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
D A A E
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
A E A D A
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
A D A E A
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Chorus]
A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
D A A E
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
A E A D A
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
A D A E A
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
[Chorus - A Cappella]
A D A
You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em,
D A E
Know when to walk away And know when to run.
A E A D A
You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table;
A D A E A
There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done.
