Do What You Gotta Do
Meg Baird
Am
Cover of a song originally written by Jimmy Webb for The Four Tops Tuning: Standard (capo 5th fret to match version on "Dear Companion" album) Chords: C: x32010 Dm: xx0231 G: 320003 and 320033 Em: 022000 Fmaj7: 133210 Am: x02210 D9/F#: 2x0210 Notes: - The song is in 4/4 time, and plays at 75 bpm to match the album version. Each "-" below represents one semi-quaver length (ie a 1/4 beat, or 1/16th of a bar). - I pick this using my thumb for the alternating bass notes in each bar, and my index and middle for the other strings. - Where I've written "h2", "h3" etc below this means you pluck the string open then hammer on the fret on the next semi-quaver. The one exception to this is in the first hammer on of the 7th bar of the 1st chorus - here the hammer on is quicker, so that the whole "h2" fits inside only one semi-quaver (ie it fits entirely before the 4th string "0" following it, not overlapping with it as it appears in the tab below - hope that makes sense!). - Each Verse is essentially just the Intro played twice over, but there are a few minor variations in the picking each time the 1st, 2nd & 4th bars are played - below is the way each bar is played in the Intro, but I haven't tabbed out each variation that appears in the Verses. I'm sure Meg doesn't play it exactly the same each time anyway. Tab: Intro / Verses:
Chorus 1:
Chorus 2:
Ending: (play slowing)
The Song structure is: Intro, Verse, Chorus 1, Verse, Chorus 2, Ending Lyrics: Man I can understand how it might be Kinda hard for you to love a girl like me I don't blame you much for wanting to be free I just wanted you to know That I loved you better that your own kin did From the very start it's my own fault What happens to my heart I've always known you'd go and do Do what you gotta do My wild sweet love Though I may never kiss those sweet lips again Pay them no mind Find that dappled dream of yours And come on back and see me when you can Though it makes you feel sad And makes you feel so bad They say you don't treat me like you should They got ways to make you feel no good They got no way to know I had my eyes wide open from the very start You never never never lied to me The part of you that they'll never see Is the part you've shown Go on and do (repeat chorus) ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend
