INTRO: A A D D
Just two good ole boys,
Never meaning no harm.
Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born.
Straightenin' the curves,
Flattenin' the hills.
Someday the mountain might get 'em but the law never will.
Makin' their wayyyyyy, the only way they know how.
Well, that's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Just two good ole boys,
Wouldn't change if they could.
D A D D
Fightin' the system like two modern day Robin Hoods.
Great song, eh? Here are some playing tips:
1. The song is actually in the key of F, but I have written it out in the key
of D. If you want to play along with your tv set, either place a capo on the
third fret, or substitute these chords:
2. Each time the chord letter is shown represents one measure (four beats)
with one exception: there is an extra half-measure (two beats) of D between
verse 1 and 2. It always trips me up, so I omit it.
3. The bridge sounds really good with an A7, instead of A.
4. I like to play this with an alternating-bass pattern to project both the
rhythm and lead parts while playing solo. If you are not familiar with this
style, this is basically how it goes:
i. Pick the bass note for the chord (ie. the lowest note).
ii. Strum or double strum the full chord.
iii.Pick the alternate-bass note (see below).
iv. Strum or double strum the full chord.
Put the emphasis on the treble (higher) strings when strumming the full
chords. You can jazz it up a little by adding bass runs between chord changes.
5. The alternate-bass notes are basically melody notes, so they can vary with
the song, but here is a list of bass notes and common alternate-bass notes for
the seven major chords. The numbers in brackets are "string/fret."
Chord: A B C D E F G
Bass note: A B C D E F G
Alternate: G F# G A B C D
Here is the tab for D, G, and A in alternating-bass.
