#Jailbird - Primal Scream
#from the album: Give out but don't give up
#transcribed by Gareth Clayton
#
#NOTE: A chord version of this song already exists, transcribed by Ben
#Smith. However, it is not entirely correct: he uses a D chord in place
#of a Bm, and an F#m chord instead of an F#. Most importantly though, he
#doesn't include the riff which is, without doubt, the best bit. I should
#however give Ben credit for making sense of the lyrics - something I could
#not have achieved in a thousand years!
#
#intro/main riff:
#
# play for 3 bars play for one bar
#
#
E I------------------------------I------------3--2---------I
#
B I------------------------------I------------3--3--2------I
#
G I--0h2--2----2------------2-0--I--0h2--2----0--2--2------I
#
D I--0h2--4h5--2h4--2p0-----2-0--I--0h2--4h5--0--0--2------I
#
A I---------------------3p0------I------------2--0--0------I
#
E I------------------------------I------------3------------I
#
#h = hammer on
#p = pull off
#
#This riff pretty much takes the form of an A chord, using
#the first finger to block out the top 4 strings. Obviously
#the chords G->D->A conclude the fourth bar.
#
#Overall, this riff is a great way to combine picking with
#some funky strumming. The "pull off" part labelled
#can be used throughout the song during the A chord.
#
#The chords for the rest of the song are as follows.
#
#verse 1:
A

G Bm G->D->A
I push and pull, ..
A
I've got ...
G Bm G->D->A

F# A

chorus:
