Jailbird - Primal Scream from the album: Give out but don\'t give up transcribed by Gareth Clayton NOTE: A chord version of this song already exists, transcribed by Ben Smith. However, it is not entirely correct: he uses a D chord in place of a Bm, and an F#m chord instead of an F#. Most importantly though, he doesn\'t include the riff which is, without doubt, the best bit. I should however give Ben credit for making sense of the lyrics - something I could not have achieved in a thousand years! intro/main riff: play for 3 bars play for one bar E I------------------------------I------------3--2---------I B I------------------------------I------------3--3--2------I G I--0h2--2----2------------2-0--I--0h2--2----0--2--2------I D I--0h2--4h5--2h4--2p0-----2-0--I--0h2--4h5--0--0--2------I A I---------------------3p0------I------------2--0--0------I E I------------------------------I------------3------------I {useful} h = hammer on p = pull off This riff pretty much takes the form of an A chord, using the first finger to block out the top 4 strings. Obviously the chords G->D->A conclude the fourth bar. Overall, this riff is a great way to combine picking with some funky strumming. The \"pull off\" part labelled {useful} can be used throughout the song during the A chord. The chords for the rest of the song are as follows. verse 1: A Scratchin\' .. G Bm G->D->A I push and pull, .. A I\'ve got ... G Bm G->D->A got horse ... F# A push and pull ... Bm D walk it like ... chorus: A I\'m yours, .. G D gimme more .... (repeat x3) A I\'m yours, you\'re mine G->D->A yeah yeah yeah (main riff) verse 2: Structure of song: riff (x2) / verse1 / chorus / riff / verse2 / chorus / solo / riff (x many)
