Southern Man I Am by Southern Isolation
Southern Man I Am
h=hammer on
b=bend
/=slide
Main riff:
A F G7 F
e|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
B|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|-----------------.|
G|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
D|-----------------|----------3---------|---------3------|---------3--------|
A|------7---8---7--|-----3--------3---3-|-----5-------5--|-----3-------3-3-.|
E|--5-----5---5----|1-------1-------1---|3------3---3----|1------1------1---|
That is how it is played in the recording. I personally like to play the A chord in the
open position like this:
A F G7 F
e|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
B|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|-----------------.|
G|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
D|------2---3---2--|----------3---------|---------3------|---------3--------|
A|--0-----0---0----|-----3--------3---3-|-----5-------5--|-----3-------3-3-.|
E|-----------------|1-------1-------1---|3------3---3----|1------1------1---|
This progression is repeated throughout most of the song. There is little lead that
goes over this riff in some parts which goes like this:
A F G7 F
e|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
B|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|-----------------.|
G|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
D|--7--7---8---7---|---7h9---7----------|--7h9--------9--|--9b------9b------|
A|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|-----------------.|
E|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|------------------|
Sometimes that lead may vary.
There is a break in the song where they are only playing the roots of the chord which
would go like so:
E|--5--5--5--5-|--1--1--1--1-|--3--3--3--3-|--1--1--1--1-|
Towards the end of the song, the chords are just strummed:
A A G F
e|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------|
B|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------|------------------|
G|-6---6-6---6-6-6-|-6---6-6---6-6-6-|-6/4---4-4---4-4-4-|-4/2---2-2---2-2-2|
D|-7---7-7---7-7-7-|-7---7-7---7-7-7-|-7/5---5-5---5-5-5-|-5/3---3-3---3-3-3|
A|-7---7-7---7-7-7-|-7---7-7---7-7-7-|-7/5---5-5---5-5-5-|-5/3---3-3---3-3-3|
E|-5---5-5---5-5-5-|-5---5-5---5-5-5-|-5/3---3-3---3-3-3-|-3/1---1-1---1-1-1|
Then a picking pattern:
A
e|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|--------------|
B|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|--------------|
G|-6---------------|--6-6--------------6|-6/4---4------4-|-4/2---2------|
D|-7-------7-------|--7-7-----7--------7|-7/5--------5-5-|-5/3-----3----|
A|-----------------|--------------------|----------------|--------------|
E|---------5-------|----------5---------|-----3----------|-----1------1-|
Repeat until end.
There are some quiet, distant sounding solos in the background of the song. These can
probably be improvised if you really want to learn them. Just remember to use a lot of
reverb.
