E|-x-| You know the part where Gord is kinda talkin to himself
B|-3-| "How do I explain this, how do I put it into words,
G|-4-| It's one thing or another but it's neither this nor that"
D|-2-| Well this is the chord that is wailing away behind it.
A|-x-| And if this ain't it then slide it up a fret or two
E|-x-| Like I said, I don't have my guitar here but I'm pretty sure
that the shape of the chord is right.

Rod,
I was just looking at what you sent me on Blow At High Dough and
I don't understand what part it is. Is it the beginning rhythm? I
know the Intro and I think it goes like this:

E--------I-----------I--------I--------I
B--12----I---(12)----I--(12)--I--(12)--I
G--------I-----------I--------I--------I
D--------I-----------I--------I--------I
A--------I-----------I--------I--------I
E--------I-----------I--------I--------I

This is the part where I think the base is playing just before the
words start. Repeat this first part once more while the lyrics are
beginning.


Actually the part that I tabbed above *is* the bass part. :)


Next the second guitar comes in and plays something like this:

Everybody was.. For miles.. Out at..
E-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
B---2---I------(2)-----I---2/4----I--(4)----I-4---2/4--I--(4)--I
G-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
D-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
A-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I
E-------I--------------I----------I---------I----------I-------I

Some kind.. Well I ain't no movie star..
E----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I
B--4--2/4--I--(4)---I---8/7--I--(7)----------9-------11-I
G----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I
D----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I
A----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I
E----------I--------I--------I--------------------------I

But I .. YEA I CAN...
E--(11)---I--------I----------I
B---------I--------I----------I
G---------I---2----I--(2)-----I
D---------I---2----I--(2)-----I
A---------I---0----I--(0)-----I
E---------I--------I----------I

I THINK THE MAIN RHYTHM GOES AS FOLLOWS

E
B
G 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
D 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
A 2 2 0 2 2 0 2 0
E

At least it is how I play it and it sounds good to me any suggestions
or corrections?
