I Wish I Could Sing
From Phonography (1976)
If anyone can finish this, please leave a comment!
Standard tuning
Intro Riff
D——————5———-6——7———
A—-3—5—6——6—5——4————-
then C Bb
not sure exactly about the second riff… the steps are correct not sure exactly where to start… my guitar’s a little out of tune and I’m not listening to the song…
B———————————————14———————————
G——11—11—13—-13/15—15———-13—-15\13—-11——
may need to play those notes a half step lower or higher… but I think that is correct. Repeat as needed.
Verse chords… G Bminor Eminor F (there’s a riff on the F. I’ve only kinda figured out the first part.) G Bminor Dminor C Cminor Bb Dminor walk down to G and back up to Dminor (I think the walking part is close to… Dminor A Ab G
G Ab Dminor… I think… that’s pretty much what I have so far. Please feel free to correct mistakes and add in holes.

Who you gonna do-do on today?
From Sheetrock (1978)
Standard Tuning
listen to the CD for rhythm.
slide between C#/Db and D.. G A (that’s the main riff) x3 on the forth time repeat the C#toD then G (octave higher) E (7th fret)
Then for the verse A G C repeat as needed then do the same thing on B A D (<— spells Bad as in BadA$$) that’s basically it. Just listen to the CD and play along. Pretty simple.
