SONG TITLE: Lullaby
ARTIST/GROUP: Shawn Mullins
ALBUM:
TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@collegemail.com
**********************************************************************
CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
G (320033) Cadd9 (x32030) D* (xx0032)
D (xx0232) C (x32010)
G/B (x20030) A (x02220)
Great song. In the verses the chords are heavily palm-muted and
you just pick out some notes. I've made a tab to give you the
general idea. It's not meant to be completely accurate, you should
pick the notes kind of randomly.
The C in the chorus might be a Cadd9. Try it and see what you think.
The D in the chorus might also be that strange chord D* (xx0032) but
I think the regular D sounds better. Try it and see what you think.
P.S.
I've just seen in a guitar magazine that the tuning for this song
is alternate open G tuning or something like that. I think it
goes GGDGBD but I don't really remember. However, I don't like
retuning my guitar and I've already transcribed the song in
standard tuning and it sounds good to me so I'll just leave it
like it is. So here it is in standard tuning:
HOW TO PLAY VERSE CHORDS: [this is not a 100% accurate]
G D* G/B Cadd9
E|------3----3-----2-2-------------------0-------|
B|------3----------3--3-------------3--3-3-3-----| h = hammer-on
G|------0----------0----------------0--0---0-----|
D|-------------0-0-0-----------------------------|
A|------------------------2-2---2h3--------------|
E|--3-3------------------------------------------|
INTRO:
------
G D* G/B Cadd9 [play two times]
VERSE 1:
--------
G D* G/B Cadd9
She grew up with the children of the stars
G D* G/B Cadd9
In the Hollywood hills and the Boulevard
G D* G/B Cadd9
Her parents threw big parties, everyone was there
G D*
They hung out with folks like
G/B Cadd9 G D* G/B Cadd9
Dennis Hopper and Bob Seeger and Sonny and Cher
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
She feels safe now in this bar on Fairfax
And from the stage I can tell
that she can't let go and she can't relax
and just before she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her, a lullaby, I sing
CHORUS:
-------
G D C
Everything's gonna be all right
G D C
rockabye, rockabye
G D C
Everything's gonna be all right
A C
rockabye, rockabye
[stop] [start playing verse chords again]
rockabye
VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
--------
She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her, she's so pretty
But she'd be a whole lot prettier
if she smiled once in a while
'Cause even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
Everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
rockabye
GUITAR-SOLO:
------------
I'm not gonna transcribe the solo.
Here are the chords:
G D* G/B Cadd9
G D* G/B Cadd9
A Cadd9 A Cadd9 D
[then play this twice:]
G D* G/B Cadd9
VERSE 4: [play like verses 1,2 & 3]
--------
I told her I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town
and keep a straight face
Seems like everybody's got a plan
it's kind of like Nashville, with a tan
CHORUS/OUTRO: [play like previous choruses]
-------------
Everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye,
G D C
Everything's gonna be all right
G D C
rockabye, rockabye
G D C
Everything's gonna be all right
A C
rockabye, rockabye
A Cadd9
rockabye, bye, bye
Cadd9
bye, bye
