Fresh Prince Of Bel Air by Will Smith
Fresh Prince Of Bel Air
The whole song is pretty much this bassline:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--6------6--------4-6------6--------4-6--------------------------|
E|------x-----6-6-x-------x-----6-6-x------------------------------|
With the occasional:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--4-6------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
Now, this is kind of boring, eh? Not much fun for an acoustic (or electric for that matter).
Thus, you can play the chords instead:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--7---x--7----------7---x--7----------7--------------------------|
G|--8---x--8--6-6-x-6-8---x--8--6-6-x-6-8--------------------------|
D|--8---x--8--8-8-x-6-8---x--8--8-8-x-6-8--------------------------|
A|--6---x--6--8-8-X-4-6---x--6--8-8-X-4-6--------------------------|
E|------------6-6-x-------------6-6-x------------------------------|
With the likewise occasional:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----7------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--6-8------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--6-8------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--4-6------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
This song's also fun to solo to. Improvise in the key of D# minor.
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear there're prissy, bourgeois and all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
