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)
