So there is one tab in G on nearly every Guitar tab page, but I haven't seen
one in E. Chuck Berry definitly says in a live version of this song, that it is
played in E, although it's not a Rock N Roll song, so the boxes have to be put down.
I'm sure that the song is played in E:
so the chords are E to A to B to E all the song repeated.
E chord:
E|--------|
B|--------|
G|--1-----|
D|--2-----|
A|--2-----|
E|--------|
A chord:
E|--------|
B|--2-----|
G|--2-----|
D|--2-----|
A|--------|
E|--------|
B chord:
E|--2-----|
B|--4-----|
G|--4-----|
D|--4-----|
A|--2-----|
E|--------|
to make it more interesting (chuck does so) play this at the beginning:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/berry-chuck/1506.html ]
E|---------------------------------|
B|-----0-----0-----0---------------|
G|-----1-----1-----1---------------|
D|--2-----------2------------1--1--|
A|--------2------------2--4--------|
E|---------------------------------|
when the text comes in play this:
E A B E
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----0-----0-----2-----2-----4-----4-----4-----4-----0-----0------|
G|-----1-----1-----2-----2-----4-----4-----4-----4-----1-----1------|
D|--2-----------2-----------------4-----------4-----2---------------|
A|--------2-----------0-----2-----------2-----------------2---------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
When I was a little biddy boy, my grandmother bought me a
(make a little break to play the B part, Chuck does, too, because it's a 4/4 beat) cute little toy
