"Call On Me" by Chicago (Loughnane) Chicago VII 1974 For the intro, I strum the first six chords once and then make-up my own kind of rhythm. Also, sliding up the fretboard from Am and A#m a little sounds like the recording. It would help to play all of the chords using barre chords, and a wah-wah pedal is needed. Intro: Fmaj7 Gmaj7 Gm9 Bbm Cm Am9 |Gmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | | |Fmaj7 | |B9 |C9 |F#m9 Gmaj7| |F#m9 Gmaj7| | |F#maj7 | | F#maj7 Gmaj7|Amaj7 For the verses, I play a strumming pattern of: w w x w u x u u x w u w with w(down), u(up), and x(muted) Verse 1:
Amaj7The feeling was clear, cC#m7lear as a blue sky on a sunBm7ny day Everything was G#m7you, C#9oo ooo
Dmaj7'Cause no one made me feel,C#m7 the way I felt with you, oh Bm7oohh Call on me 'cause F#m7 I love Gmaj7you
You F#m7know I Gmaj7do, you F#m7love me Gmaj7too. oo ooo F#maj7oooo
For verse 2, the strumming pattern stays the same, but for the first D chord, I play: w u w u w x w x w x (twice) Verse 2:
Amaj7Then came a change, C#m7when I said I would soon be Bm7leavin' you Nothing else to G#m7do, C#9oooh
Dmaj7 But please remember C#m7I'll never lose the thought of yBm7ou
Call on me 'cause F#m7 I love Gmaj7you You F#m7know I Gmaj7do, you F#m7love me Gmaj7too. oo ooo F#maj7oooo
I ad-lib on rhythm for the instrumental. It's difficult to hear the guitar over the brass and percussion anyways.
F#maj7Woa wo wo wo wo wo wo |Bm7 | |Amaj7 | |
|Cmaj7 | |Gmaj7 | | |Bbmaj7 | |Am7 | | |Cm7 | |Gmaj7 | | |Gmaj7 | Gmaj7 Abmaj7| Same strum pattern as verse 1 Verse 3:
