This is a Keith riff rocker. It was cut by Keith, Bobby Keyes (sax) and Jim Price (drums) whilst waiting for the rest of the band to turn up.
go into open G (take the low E string off) tune to GDGBD (strings 5,4,3,2,1 respectively) put a capo on the fourth fret so that open string (00000) will be B.
CHORDS: B= 00000 B2= 02010 RIFF1 - BASED AROUND `E` RIFF2 - BASED AROUND `E` There are 2 riffs in the chorus. the first riff goes like this (repeated twice)
------5-------5 5-5-6-5-6-6-6-5 5-5-7-5-5-5-5-5 5-5-5---7-7-7-5 5-5-5---5-5-5-5
THEN ITS THIS BIT (REPEATED TWICE)
0-0-----5--- 0-0---5--5- 0-0-5-----0 0-0--------0 0-0--------0
the verse structure is all in B (open strings) and is the normal rock`n`roll formula but it is adapted to open tuning -
0-0-0-0-0-0 0-0-1-0-0-1 0-0-0-0-0-0 0-0-2-0-0-2 0-0-0-0-0-0
B Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,
it always burned a hole in my pants.
Never made a school mama happy,
never blew a second chance on love.
======== CHORUS
RIFF1 I need a love to keep me happy, RIFF1 I need a love to keep me happy. RIFF2 Baby, baby keep me happy. RIFF2 Baby, baby keep me happy. =============
B Always took candy from strangers,
didn't wanna get me no trade.
Never want to be like papa,
working for the boss ev'ry night and day.
CHORUS ====== RIFF1 I need a love to keep me happy, RIFF1 I need a love to keep me happy. RIFF2 Baby, baby keep me happy. RIFF2 Baby, baby keep me happy.
B Never got a flash out of cocktails,
when I got some flesh off the bone.
Never got a lift out of Lear jets,
when I can fly way back home.
CHORUS ====== RIFF1 I need a love to keep me happy, RIFF1 I need a love to keep me happy. RIFF2 Baby, baby keep me happy. RIFF2 Baby, baby keep me happy.
