Stand By Me - Four Strings

Four strings can appear in many styles.

First day the bass came out of the bag!  (Thanks Denise, one more way to fill my day and night!)

Wonder how the lower notes seem to drift so far from what someone might have expected to hear.  Have to get the tuner working.  Lots of things to work on, including the noisy moving around on the bumpy strings (bumps from the windings).   The little microphone on the phone seems easily overwhelmed, need a real mic ...

You Never Can Tell

Springsteen plays a song for the first time with band.   It's a two-chord song.  Below, switching between G and D7.   If that's not to your liking, alternate combinations (to suit your voice range) are:

C - G7
D - A7
F - C7
A - E7

Try  it out and see what key Bruce is playing in..

You Never Can Tell


You Never Can Tell
recorded by Emmylou Harris
written by Chuck Berry

G
It was a teenage wedding

And the old folks wished them well

You could see that Pierre
D7
Did truly love the mademoiselle


And now the young monsieur and Madame

Have rung the chapel bell

Cest la vie say the old folks
G
It goes to show you never can tell


They furnished off an apartment

With a two room Roebuck sale

The coolerator was crammed
D7
With TV dinners and gingerale


But when Pierre found work

The little money coming worked out well

Cest la vie say the old folks
G
It goes to show you never can tell


They had a hi fi phono

Boy did they let it blast

Seven hundred little records
D7
All rock rhythm and jazz


But when the sun went down

The rapid tempo of the music fell

Cest la vie say the old folks
G
It goes to show you never can tell


They bought a souped up jitney

T'was a cherry red fifty three

They drove it down to New Orleans
D7
To celebrate their anniversary


It was there that Pierre

Was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle

Cest la vie say the old folks
G
It goes to show you never can tell

Repeat #1
