--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretty Little Head - Paul McCartney --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard The Beatles Pretty Little Head (1986) (Paul McCartney/Eric Stewart) Single release (extended version on "Press to Play") --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This song has beautiful chords and there are a lot of interesting ideas, for example the loop running through the whole song. I like the single version better for its great lead vocal, which is missing from the mix featured on the album. Sadly, the mix from the single hasn't been released officially on CD. Listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2yX8woDEDQ. It's a keyboard song and it is in Cm. The chords for the verse look like this: | F7sus4/Bb | Ab | Eb/G | Fm | Ab/Eb | Bb/D | % | Cm | For guitar I'd suggest to transpose it to Am so you can have fun playing. If you want to play along to the original, put on a capo on the 3rd fret. Enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS e-B-G-D-A-E Am 0-1-2-2-0-x D7sus4/G 3-1-2-0-x-3 F 1-1-2-3-3-1 C/E 0-1-0-2-3-0 or C6/E 0-1-2-2-3-0 Dm 1-3-2-0-x-x F 1-1-2-3-3-x G/B 3-3-0-0-2-x --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 3rd fret TUNED PERCUSSION LOOP (running throughout the song) e|00--3---0-------| B|--1---3---------| G|----------2-2---| D|----------------| A|----------------| E|----------------| INTRO/RIFF Am e|------0---------|------0---------|------0---------|----------------| B|1-----1---------|1-----1---------|1-----1---------|1---------------| G|2-----2---------|2-----2---------|2-----2---------|2---------------| D|2-----2---------|2-----2---------|2-----2---------|2---------------| A|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------|0---------------| E|------------3---|------------3---|------------3---|------0-----3---| VERSE: voicings of the DX7 chords D7sus4(/G) F C6 or Am7(/E) Dm e|-3--------------|-1--------------|-3--------------|-1--------------| B|-1--------------|-1--------------|-5--------------|-3--------------| G|-2--------------|-2--------------|-2--------------|-2--------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|(0)-------------| A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|(3)-------------|(1)-------------|(0)-------------|----------------| F(/C) G(/B) e|---1------------|-3--------------|----------------| B|-1--------------|-0--------------|----------------| G|----------------|-0--------------|--------%-------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|(3)-------------|(2)-------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Am Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen Am Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh D7sus4/G Hillmen come down from the lava F C(6)/E Dm Forging across the mighty river flow, oh-oh F Always forever, G/B Only so you don't worry Am Your pretty little head F G Am F G Am Ursa major, ursa minor, F G Am F G Am (Gonna take care of you) Ursa major, (yeah) ursa minor, Am Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen Am Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh D7sus4/G Hillmen bring garments, spices, F C(6)/E Dm Carrying trinkets, silk and precious stones, oh-oh F Exotic legends, G/B Only so you don't worry Am Your pretty little head Am Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen Am Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh D7sus4/G Hillmen are sworn to allegiance, F C(6)/E Dm Living a life of silent dignity, oh-oh F For your protection, G/B Only so you don't worry Am Your pretty little head Am Ursa major, ursa minor Am (Gonna take care of you) Ursa major, (gonna take care of you) ursa minor Am (Gonna take care of you) Ursa major, (gonna take care of you) ursa minor Am Hillmen, hillmen, hillmen, hillmen Am Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh D7sus4/G Hillmen bring garments, spices, F C(6)/E Dm Carrying trinkets, silk and precious stones, oh-oh F Exotic legends, G/B Only so you don't worry Am Your pretty little head Am Ursa major, ursa minor Am (Gonna take care of you) Ursa major, (gonna take care of you) ursa minor Am (Gonna take care of you) Ursa major, (gonna take care of you) ursa minor (repeat and FADE) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
