The Weekend - Dave Rawlings Machine
I reckon Gill plays it open (see below) Dave probably chokes up to the 5th 'cause he can play G scale?
I could write it out for capo 5 I guess? There's only one odd thing about the way dave plays it he uses a weird Bm chord 220000 for the open Em (as discovered in the video - BTW Bianca Alatorre sure is a hottie)
C I hit the weekend G just like a freight
Am I got there early F I couldn’t wait
C I made a friend or two G along the way
Am You want the detail F but what can I say
Am There’s the ballerina, F the foreign cartel
Am The opera singer, D the southern belle
Am They’ve all got something F strange and new
Am They’ve all got something D but not like you
C Em F F Whoa oh oh oh oh (x4) G lick ( 0-1-3 on B string then G)
C It’ll take some time to G get back on course
Am I’ve got to find my F runaway horse
C She was the best friend G a man ever had
Am Now I’m going down the road D feeling bad
C Em F F Whoa oh oh oh oh (x4) G lick (x2) G
Am G F Em (x4) Instrumental & Next verse
Friday is forever, Saturday flies past
Sunday start coming down – the good ones never last
The good ones never F last….
C What became of the red rooster G after the tragedy
Am What became of you, girl F and what became of me
And she said C "I had good fortune G silver, silk and wool
Am I gave it all away and D now my heart is full"
C Em F Whoa oh oh oh oh x4
C Em F x4
C I hit the weekend G just like a freight
Am I got there early F I couldn’t C wait
