Reelin In The Years

Try: B|-8---8-7---7-6---6-5--- G|-9---9-8---8-7---7-6--- --(following the bass line) D|-7---7-7---7-7---7-7--- --(both drone A|-0---0-0---0-0---0-0--- -- on the 'A') or add another string like this if you prefer it with a higher emphasis: e|-9---9-8---8-7---7-5--- B|-8---8-7---7-6---6-5--- G|-9---9-8---8-7---7-6--- D|-7---7-7---7-7---7-7--- A|-0---0-0---0-0---0-0--- If you want that as chords it could be: A7 Adim Dm6 A played up around the 7th fret. EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE x02020 x01313 x00201 x02220 A7 Adim Dm6 A or as we said above: EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE x07989 x07878 x07767 x07655 A7/E Adim/D# Dm6/D A/C# That fits roughly both with what the guitar is playing as its climbdown at the same time: B|-8----8-7----7-6-----6-5--- G|-9----9-8----8-7-----7-6--- (that's in principle, the top A drone stretch can't easily be done on one guitar.) and the bass climbdown on the bass A string (which is simplified but the idea is there): A|-7-7--6-6--5-5--4-4--5-5--4-4--2-2--0- I really think that line is almost beyond defining as chords as it works because of the two climbdowns working together with the A Albert Burton ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you try E with a C# bass it's almost right though I prefer these chorts: Em7 B/D# Dm7 A/C# you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand Probably it was a slip up when it was typed in, cos' everything except this line is Ok.
