Downtown Money Waster by Black Crowes
Downtown Money Waster
Intro:
Fast, sloppy strumming:
D|--/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------|
B|--/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------|
G|--/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------|
D|--/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
Carry on strumming furiously on the 12th fret as the piano does its intro then slide
the 12th and then immediately and dramatically down to nowhere in particular:
Repeat 6 times:
D|--/12---------------------------------------------|
B|--/12---------------------------------------------|
G|--/12---------------------------------------------|
D|--/12---------------------------------------------|
G|--/12---------------------------------------------|
D|--/12---------------------------------------------|
Verse Riff:
D|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
G|---5/75--00-2/3-2/3-0-000------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
Or:
D|--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------|
G|---5/75--00-2/3-2/3-0-000------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
Or:
D|---5/75--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------|
B|---5/75--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------|
G|---5/75--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------|
D|---5/75--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------|
G|---5/75--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------|
D|---5/75--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------|
Alternate between these three as you see fit, they're all basically the same thing and
aiming for a loose feel anyway.
Chorus ("When I'm around" part):
D|---3h5-55--555-------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
Again, vary it a bit by playing this phrase anywhere where you can hammer an F to a G.
Solo:
D|--/12-12-12-12-12---/12-12-12-12-12--------------|
B|--------------------------------------/12-12-------|
G|--------------------------------------------12-12-|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
B|--/12-12----/12---12-12-12----12-12-12-12----|
G|----------10-------------------10------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
This one's all in the phrasing, so just about impossible to notate clearly here. Just
your own: all the strings at the 10th and 12th frets are in key so just go nuts.
End with:
D|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------|
B|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------|
G|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------|
D|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------|
G|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------|
D|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------|
A very easy song, and one where you don't need to worry about getting it exactly like
record since Rich is playing very loose anyway. Enjoy.
To my low down downtown
Money waster
Your only saving grace
Is that I like to taste ya
But your flower is spoiled
Too easy to make ya
You got a .38 and your book of revelations
I got a .44 and a lead of temptation
I am a rounder, like to round around
Two for one at the store on the corner
Little girl like to drink and sniffin' powders
Like the bars that stay open after hours
Like the boys that go 24-7
Too many late nights and you don't go to heaven
I am a rounder, like to round around
Two for one at the store on the corner
Little girl like to drink and sniffin' powders
Legend:
