Here's the intro, tabbed out for your pleasure: vocal------------------------------------------------>well i walked ---------0-0-0-0-0-0---2-3-3-2----3-3--0-0-3-3-----2-2-2---------3--| ---------1-1-1-1-1-1---3-3-3-3-3--0-0--1-1-0-0-----1-1-1---------0--| ---------0-0-0-0-0-0---2-2-2-2-2--0-0--0-0-0-0-----2-2-2---------0--| ---------2-2-0-0-2-2--0-----------0-0--2-2-0-0-----0-0-0---------0--| ---0--3--3(ring)------------------2-2--3-3-2-2-------------------2--| -3--------------------------------3-3------3-3-------------------3--| LEAD GUITAR --------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------3-2--0---0-------| -----------------------------------------------2-0--------2---0-----| --------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------3--| My rhythm tabbing is that of a child. But you all know the rhythm, you just need to know where to put yr fingers! Now let's get together all the chords we're gonna use on this mother: G G7 C D D7 A7 Amin Bmin C2* E -3--1--0---2--2--0--0-----2----3----0----------------------------------------| -0--0--1---3--1--2--1-----3----5----0----------------------------------------| -0--0--0---2--2--0--2-----4----5----1----------------------------------------| -0--0--2---0--0--2--2-----4----5----2----------------------------------------| -2--2--3---------0--0-----2----3----2----------------------------------------| -3--3--x----------------------------0----------------------------------------| There's no real musical difference between C and C2, they're both a C chord. I denotated that second C (played as a bar chord: bar your first finger across the third fret, yr second takes the D-B strings at the 5th) as such so you'd know when to play it - it's only played during the chorus. A word on the rhythms: very country and western stylin', where you're hitting the chords, but it's "chunky", or sloppy. An illuminating (and transcribable, by me anyway) example of this is how Paul plays the chorus: ----0-0---x----2--2--x------3--3-x----2--2---x--------------------------------------| ----1-1---x----3--3--x------5--5-x----3--3---x--------------------------------------| ----2-2---x----4--4--x------5--5-x----4--4---x--------------------------------------| ----2-2---x----4--4--x------5--5-x----4--4---x--------------------------------------| -0--------x--2-------x---3-------x--2--------x--------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| The column of x's represent a muted chord; you basically lay your fingers across the strings and hit 'em for rhythm. This is a somewhat hyperbolic example of me playing the chorus, but this will give you an idea. http://www.benalto.com/lonelyexam1.mp3 He has some other county-ish lead ins and turnarounds, but we'll get to those when we come to them. Just remember to keep your playing loose; this isn't a strummer per se. It's really a sloppy picking job! With that in mind, let's see if we can get through the song! (intro) G G7 Well, I ordered a Scotch as I bust through them doors

Spilled ^Chalf on my jeans The other ^A7half on the floor When I ^Gsaw you standing ^D7by that video ^Ggame

Lead guitar break here: ------------------------------------| ------------------------------------| -2s4--2s4--2s4--2s4-2-2-4-2------0--| ------------------------------2-----| ------------------------------------| ------------------------------------| Rhythm: (G) D7 G Vocal: Well I

Well, I ^Gain't very good But I get ^G7practice by myself For^Cgot my one line So I just ^A7said what I felt

If ^Amonly you were ^Bmlonely, ^C2(no vo^Bmx) If ^Amonly you was ^Bmlonely ^C2too, ^Bm If ^Amonly you was ^Bmlonely ^C2 I'd go home with ^Gyou

>From here to the next verse is a weird break. The rhythm guitar basically goes: G D G D But the D's are done like the beginning of the song, with the Dsus4 added in...like thus: -------2-2-3-3-2-2--------------------------| -------3-3-3-3-3-3--------------------------| -------2-2-2-2-2-3--------------------------| -------0------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------| (the wiggling D isn't weird, just that it's done twice). The lead guitar during this section, starting right after Paul sings "go home with you": G D G D -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ----3-----------------3----------------------------3-------------3-0---------------------| 2s4-4-4-2-0-2s4--2s4----4--2-0-------2s4-------2s4----------2s4-------2-0----------------| --------------------------------2-0-------------------2-1s2-----------------2-0----------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------2-0------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3--| Lots of the lead guitar bits are here just for reference, for those who want to get deeper into what's going on guitar-wise. THis lead is actually really crappy and not one I would recommend learning.

Twenty ^Gpush-ups this morning, that was ^G7half my goal ^CTonight I'll be doin' pull-ups On the ^A7toilet bowl And ^Gsomewhere ^D7somebody's throwin ^Gup ^D Well, I ^Gbroke the seal on my door And I ^G7poured myself to bed The ^Cwhirlpool spinning ^A7around in my head There was ^Gliquor on my ^D7breath And you were on my ^Gmind ^G7 And I'll be ^Cdreamin of that smile Without a ^Gcare in the ^Eworld If ^Amonly you were ^Bmlonely, ^C2 ^Bm If ^Amonly you was ^Bmlonely ^C2too, ^Bm If ^Amonly you was ^Bmlonely ^C ^Bm
