If You Gotta Go Go Now by J. Tillman
If You Gotta Go Go Now
Tuning: E A D G B E
The song does make use of a modified B walking down out of the C, which I will refer to
simply as "B" for our purposes here.

When listening to the intro, and playing around in the song itself, the hammer-ons are on the 5th
string, looking something like this. The full chord displayed representing a strumming pattern here
between the hammering and pulling off. The song itself can be referred to for this, but feel free to
play around and make it your own. I add a hammer on the 4th string as well to add a little variation
into the mix.

G (With hammering pattern)
[Verse 1]
G
Listen to me, baby
C B G
There's something you must see
C
I want to be with you, gal
D
If you want to be with me
G
It ain't that I'm questionin' you
C B G
To take part in any quiz
C
It's just that I ain't got no watch
D
An' you keep askin' me what time it is
[Chorus]
G
But if you got to go
C B G
It's all right
C G
But if you got to go, go now
D G
Or else you gotta stay all night
[Verse 2]
G
I am just a poor boy
C B G
Lookin' to connect
C
But I certainly don't want you thinkin'
D
That I ain't got any respect
G
You know I'd have nightmares
C B G
And a guilty conscience, too
C
If I kept you from anything
D
That you really wanted to do
[Chorus]
G
But if you got to go
C B G
It's all right
C G
But if you got to go, go now
D G
Or else you gotta stay all night
[Verse 3]
G
It ain't that I'm wantin'
C B G
Anything you never gave before
C
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon
D
It'll be too dark for you to find the door
