"Movin On"
by Mick Ralphs
from the album Bad Company

This is one of my favorite songs, so I decided to share it.  If you have
any corrections, please let me know.  Have fun!

Intro

E-----------------------------------
B--8-------6-------5--5h6--6---5----
G--7-------5-------5--5----5---5----
D--9-------7-------5--5h7--7---5----
A-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------

Play twice, with slight variation.

Another idea for those first two chords is below.  I haven?t decided
which way I prefer. They?re pretty similar.

E--3-------1------------------------
B--1-------1-------5--5h6--6---5----
G--3-------2-------5--5----5---5----
D----------3-------5--5h7--7---5----
A-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------

Ok, on to the verse.  I don?t know all the chord names, so I?ll do my
best to give you the picking pattern.  It?s basically G,C


[G]I get up in the morning and it?s just another day
E-------------------------------------------------------
B-12---12-13--x--12---12-13-----x-12-x-13-x-12-x-13-----
G-12---12-12--x--12---12-12-----x-12-x-12-x-12-x-12-----
D-12---12-14--x--12---12-14-----x-12-x-14-x-12-x-14-----
A-------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------

 Pack up my belongings,  [C]got to get away
E------------------------------------------------
B-12---12-13--x-12-x-13----5---5-6--x-5-x-6------
G-12---12-12--x-12-x-12----5---5-5--x-5-x-5------
D-12---12-14--x-12-x-14----5---5-7--x-5-x-7------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------

Play this again until you reach the C chord, then use this ending to
bring you into the chorus

   gotta show tonight well I?m     Movin    On
E--------------------------------------------------------
B----5-----7-----8------9----------10-------11--11--10---
G----5-----7-----8------9----------10--10---10--10--10---
D----5-----7-----8------9----------10--10---12--12--10---
A--------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------

  moving on from town to town
E--------------------------------------------------------
B--7----8----10--x-11-----5--5-6--x-6-x-6--5------6-5----
G--7--7-7----10--x-10-----5--5-5--x-5-x-5--5---5--5-5----
D--7--7-9----10--x-12-----5--5-7--x-7-x-7--5---5--7-5----
A--------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------

  movin on                       can?t seem to
E-------------------------------------------------
B--10-------11--11--10-----12-------13--13--12----
G--10---10--10--10--10-----12---12--12--12--12----
D--10---10--12--12--10-----12---12--14--14--12----
A-------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------

  stop now
E-------------------------
B--5------6-x-6-x-6---5---
G--5---5--5-x-5-x-5---5---
D--5---5--7-x-7-x-7---5---
A-------------------------
E-------------------------

Ok, so I didn?t do such a great job of giving the rhythm, but the chords
are there.  Listen to the record to get the feel.

There is a little riff at the end of the chorus that takes you into the
second verse.  Here is how I fake it:

E-------------------------
B-------------------------
G--/9---9-7-5-7-5---------
D--/9---9-7-5-7-5---------
A-------------------------
E-------------------------

I also worked out a little bit of the solo. All in C minor pentatonic, I
believe.

E--------------------------8----8----11b13-------
B--8h11p8--11b13---11-8-11---11------------------
G------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------


E--------11--13b14--13b14--13b14--13b14--11------
B--11-13------------------------------------13---
G------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------


E--13b15--13-11-------------11-------------------
B---------------13----11----------13-------------
G------------------------12----12----12\/12------

Lyrics

Verse 1

Well I get up in the morning and it?s just another day
Pack up my belongings, I?ve got to get away
Jump into a taxi and the time is gettin tight
Gotta keep it movin, I gotta show tonight, well I?m

(Chorus)
Movin on,
Movin on from town to town
Well I?m movin on baby, can?t seem to stop now

Verse 2
Well I?m [taking two more tickets babe]?
I haven?t got a hope
Headin for the Golden Gate, feelin pretty low
Fifteen minutes later, I?m sittin on a plane
Fastening my safety belt, well I?m movin on again

Repeat Chorus

That?s all I have right now.  If you have anything better or the
complete solo please send it to me,  Thanks!
