                          VIOLENT FEMMES – Gone Daddy Gone

Tuning: standard

Many versions of this song suggest to play the chorus in an eeeeeasy way that may be 
acceptable but I like to play it a little bit differently. It's as easy as the other 
versions and it adds "something" to it.

Main riff

G|––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
D|––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
A|–55––5–33––3–22–1–11/–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
E|––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|

(/ = slide back to A–––5––– and repeat)

Chorus

G|–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
D|–0–(0)7–0–––––7–0–555/888~–––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
A|––––––––––8––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
E|–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|

Main riff variation (these are just the same notes of the main riff, but sometimes I 
like to play 'em on the E string and right close to the bridge 'cause the sound gets a bit 
more aggressive)

G|––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
D|––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
A|––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|
E|–10–10––10–88––8–77–6–66/–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––|

(/ = slide back to E–––10––– and repeat)

During the bridge and the end of the song you can also add some "Brian Ritchie's style" 
improvisations just foolin' around and hammerin'–on on A and D string between 5th and 
7th fret.
