12 Mar 10 - 11:51 AM (#2862680) Subject: RE: Chord Req: early morning blues Blind Blake From: Murray MacLeod Grouping the chords into 12 bars ,it goes as follows: (each chord symbol represents one beat, as does the forward slash) Blake plays the first verse slightly differently from the other verses, with the second and sixth bars going F/G7/| instead of F///| Verse: C///|F///|C/G7/|C/C7/| F///|F///|C/G7/|C/A7/| D7///|G7///|C/G7/|C/G7/| Break: C///|F///|C/G7/|C/C7/| F///|F///|C/G7/|C/A7/| G7///|F///|C/G7/|C/G7/| I have a vivid recollection of hearing this song for the first time in, I guess, 1964, my roommate had a compilation with this on it. I couldn't believe my ears, had never heard anything like it before. |

12 Mar 10 - 12:47 PM (#2862720) Subject: RE: Chord Req: early morning blues Blind Blake From: Murray MacLeod better still, match the lyrics to the chords by listening to the great man himself Blind Blake playing "Early Morning Blues |

12 Mar 10 - 01:03 PM (#2862740) Subject: RE: Chord Req: early morning blues Blind Blake From: MikeT This is one of my favorite blake tunes, and IMHO one of the most difficult to play. What he does with the bass, to get that bounce is just amazing. I think it's more difficult than West Coast Blues. I just love it. the words are a bit harsh though... |
