Gentlemen Don't by Gabe Bondoc transcribed by Nelson M- OH, almost gave away my real name there. REFERENCE VIDEOS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu00p0pHOIk <<mainly this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39ce6hVSpQU listen to the song for the rhythm and subtle details, eg. sometimes he plucks strings instead of doing hammer-ons/vice-versa, rolling chords extra strings hit side note - I use the thumb to play most of the notes on the low E string. STRUCTURE: intro riff x 2 verse x 2 ("you run your fingers...") chorus (#1) intro riff verse x 2 ("well i'm just a simple man...") chorus (#2) intro riff verse ("oh no no...") bridge ("cards on the table..." chorus (#3) outro intro riff - star = slap, there are others that i haven't indicated e-------------5--------*-----------------------------------------------| B------5-5h7-----5-5/7-*-7-----7-6-5---5------2-3--3~2h3----------5----| G----7---6-------4-----*-7-----7-6-5h7-5-7--4------2~-----------4------| D--7-----7---7---6-----*-7-----7-6-5---7----4------2~---------7--------| A--------5-------4-----*---------------5------------------2/4----------| E----------------------*-7-5/7-7-6-5--------3------2~------------------| verse - same thing as the intro, but different. - he tends to break the last chord into parts. - he plays the chord in brackets sometimes. e----------------------------------------5-----| B----7----5----7--(6)--5--5----3----3----5-----| G----6----4----7--(6)--5--5----4----2----4-----| D----7----6----7--(6)--5--7----4----2----7-----| A----5----4------------5-----------------4-----| E--------------7--(6)--5-------3----2----------| chorus - refer to video for rhythms e-------------------------------------------------------| B-----------7--------------3--------1-------7-----------| G-----------7--------------6--------2-------8--8-9-11---| D-----------5--------------5--------2-------7--7-7--9---| A---4h5-6---7---5h7-------------------------------------| E----------(0)--------6-5--5---3-2--2---2/7-7--7-9-11---| chorus cont'd 1st time - & is just a place holder to indicate a rest - last three notes are part of the verse e--------------10p7-------------&---------| B---7h8---7h8------8----------3-------5---| G---7-----7---------7-------4-------7-----| D---9-----9---------------5-------7-------| A---7-----7-------------------------------| E-----------------------5-----------------| 2nd time - last three notes are part of the verse e--------7h10p7--------------------5---------| B---7h8--------8h10p8---8--------3-------5---| G---7----------------7--7------4-------7-----| D---9-----------------9-9/---5-------7-------| A---7-------------------7--------------------| E--------------------------5-----------------| 3rd/final time e--------7h10p7--------------------5-------------| B---8----------8h10p8---8--------3---3-----3-----| G---7----------------7---------4-------4---3-----|>>to outro D---9-----------------9------5-----------5-5-----| A---7--------------------------------------------| E--------------------------5---------------5-----| bridge - first two chords are the end of the verse where he goes "no no i won't) e--------*--------*-------------------------| B------3-*--3-2h3-*----------3-----3--3-----| G------4-*--2-----*-0------0----0--2--3-3---| D------4-*--2-----*------4---------2--2-----| A--------*--------*----------------0--------| E---3----*--2-----*----0--------------2-----| right before "cards on the table" - listen for rhythm, i'm too lazy to write it all down e---------------------------------------------------5------------| A----3----3----3----3---3----3----3----1----------3---3------3---| G----4----2----0----2---3----4----2----0--------4-------4----3---|>>to chorus D----4----2----2----2---2----4----2----2------5-----------5--5---| A-------------------0--------------------------------------------| E---/3----2----0--------2----3----2----0----5----------------5---| outro - like the intro, but with the modified ending e-------------5--------*-------------------------------------| B------5-5h7-----5-5/7-*-7-----7-6-5---5------2-3--3~2h3-----| G----7---6-------4-----*-7-----7-6-5h7-5-7--4------2~---2----| D--7-----7---7---6-----*-7-----7-6-5---7----4------2~----2---| A--------5-------4-----*---------------5---------------------| E----------------------*-7-5/7-7-6-5--------3------2~--------| e----------------------------------5--------0~-----| B--------------------------------7---7------7~-----| G---------0--7~----6~----------6-------6----6~-----| D-------4----5~-5--5~-5------7-----------7--7~-----| A-----2------7~----7~-----/5----------------5~-----| E---0--------5-----5~------------------------------| thanks and have fun.
