GLOOMY
by
Creedence Clearwater Revival
The intro goes something like...
|-------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------||-------------------------------------------------------||---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3-/7-5-3---3--------||-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5----------------5---5-3----||----------------------------------------------------5--|
I think that Fogerty bends the 2 on the D string every once in a while just to give it
some pizzazz.
Then...
"Some people laugh in the dark..."|---------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------||---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3---/7-5-3---3--------||-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5------------------5---5-3----||------------------------------------------------------5--|
"Some people count your money..."|---------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------||---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3---/7-5-3---3--------||-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5------------------5---5-3----||------------------------------------------------------5--|
Then comes the bridge, which is something along the lines of...
|---------------------------------||---------------------------------||---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-||---7---7---7---7---7---7---7---7-||-5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---||---------------------------------| and etc.
A second guitar plays these notes throughout the bridge...
|--6----6----6----6----6-5----6-5--||--6----6----6----6----6-6----6-6--||--7----7----7----7----7-7----7-7--||----------------------------------||----------------------------------||----------------------------------|
And then a brief but incredibly cool solo...
"Brothers'll make you look sidways..."|---------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------||---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3---/7-5-3---3--------||-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5------------------5---5-3----||------------------------------------------------------5--|
|--------------------------------------------------------||--------------------------------------------------------||--------------------------------------------------------||---3-----------3---3---------3---5-3---/7-5-3-----------||-5-----5-3---5---5---5-3---5------------------5--3---5--||--------------------------------------------------------|
Short break...
Rhythym guitar plays an A#7 then an G7, I think. Or a transition of it. And then after a
while it goes down to an F, then up to an G.
Another bridge riff...
|---------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------||-----8------6--------------------8------6----------------||-------------------8------6--------------------8------6--||-6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----|
|------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------||-----8------6--------------------8------6-------------------||-------------------8------6--------------------8------6-7-8-||-6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6-------|
Strum on an F7 transition for a while, then...
|-----------------------------||-----------------------------||-----------------------------||-----8------6----------------||-------------------8------6--||-6-6----6-6----6-6----6-6----|
Rattle on an A#7 and then you are done.
