NOTES
~~~~~
If playing the C, G, Em, F shapes with a capo, the fills become easier to play.
For example the intro can be played by playing the C-shape Eb major and hammer-
ing onto the 4th string (D string), then using the 3rd fret on the same string
to play the final note of the fill. I personally tend to use the 2nd and 3rd
frets on the treble-e string (string 1) to play the fill leading into the lines
"When that foghorn blows...". Experiment with it.
As with nearly all of Van's songs, the timing of the lyrics seems free-form and
doesn't tie in with obvious beats in the rhythm. What's important is that you
sing a word when you feel it's right, so don't worry if you end up playing the
chord above one word when you're singing another. You will probably want to
add a few treble notes to some of the chords to match the original tune
(especially the G minor chords). Unfortunately, most of us don't have two sax
players on hand when we need them, so those gorgeous sax solos will be missing.
That's life I'm afraid.
Ryan.
