The slide 7/8 is played with the little finger, so it takes practice for amateurs. The trick is to start with you little finger right up as near to the 8th fret as possible, you only have to move a little bit to get the next fret. If you cant, you need to start doing more finger stretching excercises or... you could play it like this: 1 2 3 1 2 3 e|-0---1---2/3-1---0-------| B|-1---1---1---1---1-------| G|-------------------------| D|-------------------------| A|-------------------------| E|-------------------------| but that is not how its played on the record. It doesn't sound exactly the same, and have your index finger on the 5th fret of the G string gets you ready for the next bar.*** Then this little break is played, 1 2 3 1 2 3 e|-------------------------| B|-------------------------| G|---------5---5/7---------| D|-----7-------------------| A|-------------------------| E|-------------------------| For the second verse, guitar one plays alone for a bit, then half way through (just after "eat from a can"), guitar 2 joins in again. 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 e|-------------------------|-------------------------| B|-------------------------|-------------------------| G|-7-----------------------|-9-----------------------| D|-7-----------------------|-10----------------------| A|-------------------------|-------------------------| E|-------------------------|-------------------------| 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 e|-------------------------|-------------------------| B|-------------------------|-------------------------| G|-9-----------7-----------|-9-----------7-----------| D|-10----------7-----------|-10----------9-----------| A|-------------------------|-------------------------| E|-------------------------|-------------------------| 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 e|-------------------------|-------------------------| B|-------------------------|-------------------------| G|-7-----------------------|-9-----------------------| D|-9-----------------------|-10----------------------| A|-------------------------|-------------------------| E|-------------------------|-------------------------| 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 e|-------------------------|-------------------------| B|-------------------------|-8-----------9/10--------| G|-9-----------10----------|-9-----------10----------| D|-10----------12----------|-------------------------| A|-------------------------|-------------------------| E|-------------------------|-------------------------| The the chorus is played the same as before, only the extra verse notes continue onto the first beat. *1* 2 3 1 2 3 e|--------------------- B|-12----------5------ G|-12--5---7--------- D|-----7---7---7----- A|-------------------- E|--------------------- and THEN, you need a full orchestra!!! Backing singers, violinists... or, if its just you, strum the chords shown above the first verse. This is how you play each of the chords: Am (577555) B (224442) C (335553) Dm (557765) E (022100) F (133211) G (355433) The song closes with a guitar solo that I havent got round to doing yet. Give me a while (or if someone else wants to do it!?). The lyrics: Cheers darlin' Here's to you and your lover boy Cheers darlin' I got years to wait around for you Cheers darlin' I've got your wedding bells in my ear Cheers darlin' You gave me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away Cheers darlin' And I die when you mention his name And I lied, I should have kissed you When we were runnin' in the rain What am I darlin'? A whisper in your ear? A piece of your cake? What am I, darlin? The boy you can fear? Or your biggest mistake? Here's to you and your lover man Cheers darlin' I just hang around and eat from a can Cheers darlin' I got a ribbon of green on my guitar Cheers darlin' I got a beauty queen To sit not very far from me I die when he comes around To take you home I'm too shy I should have kissed you when we were alone What am I darlin'? A whisper in your ear? A piece of your cake? What am I, darlin? The boy you can fear? Or your biggest mistake? Oh what am I? What am I darlin'? I got years to wait...
