Intro:
Arp. C 7
(sounds like a typical C blues outro in G 7)
C7
E------------------8---
B------------------8---
G------------------8---
D------------------10--
A----------1-2-3---8---
E--12/3---3------------ REPEAT 2 TIMES, ENDS WITH AN OCTAVE G 7 CHORD
THEN REPEAT THE WHOLE RIFF
--------------------------
--------------------------
--------------------------
---1---3b5-3b5 3b5-3-1---- THEN ANOTHER G 7 (... Come on...)
-3---3-----------------3--
--------------------------
C F C G
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
---1-1-0-----4-4-3-1---1-1-0---------
-3-------3-----------3--------3------
-----------1--------------------3---- REPEAT 2 TIMES THEN START SINGING
C G# etc...
End of the summer, down in New Orleans...
I think the whole verse could be like that:
C G#
D# A#
C G#
D# A#
Then: "The reason I'm stayin..." sounds being like this:
G# D#
A# F G
Repeat VERSE RIFF
Then get to the CHORUS: (a very Jimi Hendrix feel)
G# C C# D D# G G# A A# D D# E F D# D C# C (repeat)
--------------------------------------------------- --------------
--------------------------------------------------- --------------
--------------------------------------------------- --------------
---------------------------------------------------- -------------
----3-3-4-4-5-5-6-6-----------------5-5-6-6-7-7-8-8- 6-6-5-5-4-3--
4-4-----------------3-3-4-4-5-5-6-6----------------- -------------
Third times the riff stops at F then goes to G (hang it like a C blues end)
it could seem not so easy or at least not so clear but it gets to a chromatic scale and the feeling is very Hendrix's Hey Joe similar, so if you know that song...
SOLO:
The solo rhythm repeats the one used for the verse
CHORUS n. 2
INTRO RIFF
("mama grand, papa grand etc...")
OUTRO:
--------------------------
--------------------------
--------------------------
---1---3b5-3b5 3b5-3-1---- THEN C 7
-3---3-----------------3--
--------------------------
This is not a simple song to play (it means that the writer is a good player)
But try to get the feeling that comes along and... enjoy it!
