You Can Leave Your Hat On, Interpretation ========================================= Artist....: Joe Cocker Title.....: You Can Leave Your Hat On Author....: dregenrocks Version...: 28th April 2011 Comment...: Updated my tab from 5 years ago. Had it apparently in an absolutely wrong key. Never played it again the last years though, so never heard the wrong chords. Actually, the punkrock-project I tabbed this one for made little difference bewteen major and minor in the result. But nevertheless, all respect to the comment of wysocki, which let me reactivate my account to correct this. Song Key..: C-Major [INTRO] (Try to play it smoothly, maybe using hammer-on's.) This one 3 times: Then this one quickly played: e ---------------------- ----------------| B ---------------------- ----------------| G ---------------------- ----------------| D ------1-------1------- ----------------| A 1--3-------3-------3-- ----1-----------| E ---------------------- 1-3-------------| [VERSE] (Use this lick while C7 is played. Or hand this over to your bass.) e ----------------------| B ----------------------| G ----------------------| D -----2--1--2----------| A 3----------------0-3--| E --------------3-------|
