Afroman – Because I Got High (Tabs) Afroman’s Because I Got High is a very simple song. Three chords and just a verse with a bit of variation in the intro and a bit of getting jiggy with it in the outro. The only tricksy thing going on (other than a bunch of percussive chnks) […]

The Pogues – Dirty Old Town (Tab) To celebratre St Patrick’s Day on Friday, I thought I’d cover a song written by an American about a place in England. But it has become thouroughly Irish-ised through versions by The Dubliners and the Pogues version. For this arrangement, I worked from The Pogues version. Intro: A […]

Culture Club – Karma Chameleon (Tab) In keeping with the theme of the song, Culture Club’s Karma Chameleon is a mish-mash. Including some country harmonic, funky bass, cheesy 80s keyboards and a catchy pop chorus. Intro: A bit of everything here: the guitar riff, muted strums for the drums and a bit of harmonica. Verse […]

Billy Bragg/Kirsty MacColl – A New England (Tab) A New England was originally by Billy Bragg and made more famous by by Kirsty MacColl. This arrangement starts with a riff inspired by Johnny Marr’s intro on Kirsty MacColl’s version. After that, it’s closer to the Billy Bragg version. I’ve reduced the tempo for my recording. […]
Why Don’t You Do Right? (Tab) Why Don’t You Do Right? has a colourful history. The tune started out as Weed Smoker’s Dream in 1936. It was adapted and released in 1941 by Lil Green (with guitar by Big Bill Broonzy). The most famous version was the Peggy Lee’s uptempo take. At least it was […]
