Firecracker – Ryan Adams Written by Ryan Adams/Van Alston Tabbed by: JohnJoe Walters E-mail:[email protected] From the album “Suicide Handbook” Tuning:EADGBE Capo: 3rd Fret Chords (relative to Capo): 320003 G 332010 C 554030 D* (Dsus2sus4?) XX0232 D X02210 Am 022000 Em NB - A different version from the one on “Gold”. Three main differences are the tempo (slower), lyrics, and a little guitar riff used in the intro and in between verse lines. This little riff is just the notes B, C and D on the B string over a G chord. The way I play it is around the G chord shape, thus: ‘RIFF’ with/over G chord e|-X--X--X--X--X---| B|-0--1-—3--1--0---| G|-0--0--0--0--0---| D|-0--0--0--0--0---| A|-2--2--2--2--2---| E|-3--3--3--3--3---| Concentrating on the ‘B’ String but holding the shape for ease and accuracy. Intro: ‘RIFF’ G x 3 then harmonica over G C D* G x 2 Verse 1: G C D* G Birds sing slow and softly someplace in my mind G C D* G (F#) Hey Louisiana she’s with me tonightEmWell everybody wants to Cgo forGever EmI just want to burn up Chard and bGright EmI just want to be your fCirecrackDer Am C Am C D* G Maybe be your baby tonight, maybe be your baby tonightRIFF G x 3 Verse 2: G C D* G Broken bluesy whispers sing to me tonight G C D* G (F#) Takes my hand for something kisses slow and niceEmWell everybody wants to Cgo forGever EmI just want to burn up Chard and bGright EmI just want to be your fCirecrackDer Am C Am C D* G Maybe be your baby tonight, maybe be your baby tonightThen harmonica over G C D* G x 2 Bridge: G (F#) Em So when does the plane go down (F#) G ‘Cos I’m gonna ride it ‘til it hits the ground Am (B) C D G Go out with a fight ‘cos I just want to be your baby tonight RIFF G x 3 then harmonica over G C D* G x 2 ENDS with a little run down C B A on 5th string and E then G on 6th i.e. e|-X--X--X--X--X---| B|-X--X-—X--X--X---| G|-X--X--X--X--X---| D|-X--X--X--X--X---| A|-3--2--0--X--X---| E|-X--X--X--0--3---| then finish with chords C G Please enjoy! ************
