I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR -- JOHN MAYER, "Where The Light Is" [2007] Exact chords tabbed by ClassicalfreaK This is a toughie! I am not a crazy-good tabber in terms of what voicings work best for melodies, but I have the main riff's notes exact. If someone suggests a more reasonable riff tab I would gladly accept it! I am absolutely providing a chord diagram for this one, due to the insane chords he uses. **The beat used in the tabs looks like X-o-X-o-. Capital X's are the primary beat [quarter notes, the ones you tap your foot to], lowercase x's are half-beats [eighth notes, twice as fast as your foot] and the dashes in between are for the swung sixteenth feel of the song. If there is space in between -s, that's for the intro riff's trill on the fourth beat, the song doesn't slow down!** **The "chord - - - " format is used to show what beats to switch chords on [only when not on tab]** CHORD DIAGRAM: E7 020100 OR 022130 G 320003 OR 3x0003 ["open fifth" voicing] A x02220 C#m7b5 x42000 [easiest, good voicing] OR x4545x [might be easier to transition to Dm9] Dm9 x5355x CM7 x32000 Am7 x02010 Bm7 x24232 F#m/B x24222 Em/A x02000 Gm7 353333 OR 3x3333 n/c Play nothing! "n/c" means "no chord" Best of luck to you! John definitely didn't make this an easy track. =============================================================================== INTRO [Guitar riff] [BPM: 86] E7 G A E7 A G E7 G A E7 A G e||----0-------0-- - |----0------2--02|----0-------0-- - |----0------2--02| B||-----30--3--2-- - |-----30--3-3----|-----30--3--2-- - |-----30--3-3----| G||--01---0-50---- - |-------0-5------|--01---0-50---- - |-------0-5------| D||-----------0--0101|--01------------|-----------0--0101|--01------------| A||------------0-- - |----------------|------------0-- - |----------------| E||0-------3------ - |0-------3-------|0-------3------ - |0-------3-------| BEAT: X---X---X---X-- - X---X---X---X--- X---X---X---X-- - X---X---X---X--- [D.S. enters] **play riff again now with drum beat + bass playing E - - - | G - A - VERSE I
