The Critic (chords And Bass-lines)

Toby Keith

4/4 time, bass notes hit every-other beat I labeled the chords underneath to clarify fingerings Intro: e-----3-----0-----0-----2? B-----3-----3-----1-----3- G-----0-----0-----2-----2- Play twice, then third time D-----0-----0-----0--0---- instead of the ?D? part, A-----2--2-----3---------- slide into this ?C? part? E--3---------------------- ( chord moved up 1 fret) e-----0-----2-----2----------------- B-----2-----3-----3----------------- G-----3-----2-----2----------------- D-----0--0-----0-----0-------------- A--4--------------------3--2--0----- E--------------------------------3-- ?back to beginning C-walkdown (don?t know name of that C-chord, any help?) So during the song, where you see a chord name, what?s really being played is what?s above, baselines first and the chords strummed, pretty simple but a task to tab out;) Also, Larry said to just post this without all the chords so if anyone can get that darn bridge figured out, private message me or submit your own version?I think its in Verse 1: He gets up real early on his morning drive Down to the office for his nine to five * He drives a 94 two-tone economy car C-walkdown Loves to tell the local boys down at the bar That he?s the critic, yea I can hook ya up C-walkdown I know everyone in the business Verse 2: He flunked junior high band he couldn?t march in time He tried to write a song once but he couldn?t make it rhyme * He learned 2 or 3 chords on a pawn-shop guitar C-walkdown He just never quite had what it took to be a star So he?s a critic, yea I work for the Gazette -walkdown I got a real job Bridge: He wrote a five star column on a band you never heard (some kind of walkdown) He wrote a bluegrass review without an unkind word He thought it was time to ask his boss for a raise His boss said, I can? even tell If anyone?s even reading your page (back to intro licks For rhythm) Verse 3: So he thought and he thought a little more He saw a young hot star headed into town Then he hid behind his typewriter and gunned the boy down * Here come the letters, the emails, the faxes C-walkdown They raised him to 20,000 dollars after taxes He?s a happy critic, yea he?s rollin? in the dough (rest is spoken over the intro tabbed above) This is easy they?re all reading my column Please don?t tell my momma That I write the music column for the Gazette She still thinks I play piano down at the Cathouse Let's get funky with this now boys Play it on Come on Shannon There's ol' Bill jumpin' in Glenn's layin' it down Come on Shannon Aah My man Steve Man my fingers are gettin' tired Ya'll gonna have to hurry This snappin' thing wearin' me out Theres ol Shannon guess he was on a coffee break They're gonna love you cause they already love me Yeah It's the critic
