Song: | By “chirps”, I mean staccato. Use your tongue between your teeth. / = bend up to the note ( /-4 for example) / = bend down from the note ( -2 for example) gl = gliss ( -4 gl -2 for example) [-4’ -4’ 5 6] = four separate notes played quickly (quick) Find a recording of the studio version in which the harp comes through clearly so you can hear the details of the draws & bends. In the intro, some moanin’ & wailin’ is done on the -1. That is an overdub. (Editing is impossible, so good luck figuring out where some stuff belongs. I give up trying to get it right. It can't be done. Most of it is how I want it.) Intro: First four bars: (-2 -3) chirps & (2 3) (-2 -3) (-3 -4)’ Next three bars: (-2 -3) chirps & -4 gl -2 -4 gl -2 -4 gl -2 Next bar: (-2 -3) chirps & -4 gl -2 -3’ -3’ -2 Keep your eyes on the road, chirps Your hand upon the wheel chirps -2 -3’ 4 /-4 -4 gl -2 -3’ -2 -2 Keep your eyes on the road, chirps Your hand upon the wheel chirps -2 -3’ 4 /-4 -4 gl -2 -3’ -2 -2 Yeah, we’re goin’ to the roadhouse chirps Gonna have a real … a good time chirps -3’ -2 -2 At the back of the roadhouse chirps They got some bungalows chirps -2 -3’ 4 [-4’ -4’ 5 6] [-4’ -4’ 5 6] -3’ -2 -2 (quick) (quick) At the back of the roadhouse chirps They got some bungalows chirps -2 -3’ 4 /-4 -4’ -4 3’ -2 -2 That’s for the peo- ple (-4 -5) (-4 -5) (4 5)(-4 -5)(5 6) who like to go down slow -7 -6 6 -5 -3 -2 -2 -2 -3 -2 -2 Let it roll, baby, roll (4 5) -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 Let it roll, baby, roll (2 times) (-5 -6) (4 5) (-4 -5) (4 5) (-5 -6) (4 5) (-4 -5) (4 5) (-5 -6) (4 5) (-4 -5) (4 5) (-4 -5) (2 times) Let it roll lay out All night long chirps GUITAR SOLO chirps & some riffs such as: -4 -4 -4 -2 -3’ -2 -2, -2 -3’ -2 -2 -4 -5 -4 -3 -2, -4 -5 -4 -3 -2 You gotta roll, roll, roll, You gotta thrill my soul Chirps -2 -3’ Alright -3’ -2 Roll, roll, roll, roll into my soul, you gotta (Scat) Chirps Yea, right.
