Weirdo
====-The Charlatans
This was one of my least favourite Charlatans songs until I saw them
Live and this one really blew me away and I had to learn it. I’ve tried
To transcribe all guitar and organ parts for guitar and I’ll give you
The chords as well, just in case.
Intro
Hammond riff:
F#m7 F#m6 F#m b6(?) F#m F#m6
E|———-2—|———-2—|———-2—|———-2—2—|
B|———-5—|———-4—|———-3—|———-2—4—|
G|———-2—|———-2—|———-2—|———-2—2—|
D|———-4—|———-4—|———-4—|———-4—4—|
A|————-|————-|————-|—————-|
E|—2-2-2-2—-|—2-2-2-2—-|—2-2-2-2—-|—2-2-2-2——-|
Play this twice, then twice again but with the following guitar overdub
(bang a bit of reverse reverb on it if you can)
F#m7 F#m6 F#m b6 F#m F#m6
E|—-|—-|——|—————-|
B|—5-|—4-|—3—|-2h3p2h3-2h3h4—|
G|—-|—-|——|—————-|
D|—-|—-|——|—————-|
A|—-|—-|——|—————-|
E|—-|—-|——|—————-|
Now the organ riff changes, play this once:
F#m Gm F#m Em
E|—————————-|—————————-|
B|—————————-|—————————-|
G|—2-2—2-2—2-2—2-2—3—|—2-2—2-2—2-2—2-2—O—|
D|—2-4—2-4—2-4—2-4—5—|—2-4—2-4—2-4—2-4—2—|
A|—2-4—2-4—2-4—2-4—5—|—2-4—2-4—2-4—2-4—2—|
E|—2-2—2-2—2-2—2-2—3—|—2-2—2-2—2-2—2-2—O—|
Keep this last riff going through the first verse:
F#m Gm
Most of the time you are happy,
F#m Em
You’re a weirdo.
F#m Gm
And before the introduction ends
F#m Em
There’s someone feeling sorry for their selves.
Chorus
(Here’s where you stomp on your tremolo pedal- Hit each chord once
And hold)
Dm
Look at your ugly shame,
G
What are you talking for?
Dm G
Look at your ugly shame.
It’s back to the original organ riff for the second verse:
F#m7 F#m6
Most of the time you’re demanding,
