"Call On Me" by Chicago (Loughnane) Chicago VII 1974 For the intro, I strum the first six chords once and then make-up my own kind of rhythm. Also, sliding up the fretboard from Am and A#m a little sounds like the recording. It would help to play all of the chords using barre chords, and a wah-wah pedal is needed. Intro: Am Bm Dm A#m C#m Em Bm Dm Am Bm C#m Em C#m Em A#m A#m Bm C#m For the verses, I play a strumming pattern of: w w x w u x u u x d u d with w(down), u(up), and x(muted) Verse 1: C#m Bm The feeling was clear, clear as a blue sky on a sunny day C#m Everything was you, oo ooo D C#m Bm 'Cause no one made me feel, the way I felt with you, oh oohh C#m C#m D Call on me 'cause I love you C#m C#m D6 C#m C#m D A#m A#m Bm C#m You know I do, you love me too. For verse 2, the strumming pattern stays the same, but for the first D chord, I play: w u w u w x w x w x (twice) Verse 2: C#m Bm Then came a change, when I said I would soon be leavin' you C#m Nothing else to do, oooh D C#m Bm But please remember I'll never lose the thought of you C#m C#m D Call on me 'cause I love you C#m C#m D6 C#m C#m D A#m You know I do, you love me too, oo ooo A#m Hoo ooh oh oh hoh I ad-lib on rhythm for the instrumental. It's difficult to hear the guitar over the brass and percussion anyways. Instrumental 1: A#m Bm C#m Em Bm Dm Am Cm Bm Gmaj7 Bm Cm Dm Same strum pattern as verse 1 Verse 3: Dm Cm You've got to find someone else to somehow take my place Dm Share his life with you, oo ooo Eb Dm Cm But if you need a friend, you can always count on me Dm Dm Eb Count on me 'cause I love you, Dm Dm Eb6 Dm Dm Eb Bm You know I do, you love me too, oo ooo Instrumental 2: Bm Dm Am Bm Cm Bm Outro: Bm You can count on me, ooh oh (baby) G D You can count on me (repeat until done)
