Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are two electric guitars in this song - one on rhythm and the other on lead. I'm going to show you the rhythm part.
Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web. I'm sorry that I can't show you how to play
the electric guitar lead.  Dave Painter is way above my pay grade!

THE CHORDS:


E

(harp intro)

me and my gal, we get along swell

how do we do it? do tell

everybody lean in, 'cause I ain't gonna yell

                              (no chord)
what's our secret? more cowbell !


E

(harp ditty)


so we jumped on a plane, and we hopped on a train

we made our way to Barcelona, Spain

we checked into our Gaudi Hotel

                                          (no chord)
ordered room service with more cowbell !


E

(harp ditty)


B

this ain't no banjo or Steve Casho, this ain't no tambourine

no time for jingle, no jingle jangle

it's the worst sound I've ever seen


E

(fiddle & sax solos)


well you can do it in Paris, you can do it in Rome

you can do it from the comfort of your own home

if you want to get to Heaven, gotta raise a little Hell

                                  (no chord)
on a weird radio with more cowbell !


E

more cowbell !

(no chord)         E
                         (guitar solo)

(no chord)         E
more cowbell !

TIP:

Play the chords on the up and down beats (eighth note pattern).

To play the E chord rhythm, you can palm the strings on the downbeats of beats 2 and 4 in order to deaden the sound.

Do the palm quickly and then start strumming again.

Another to play the E chord rhythm is that you can play a G note on the 3rd fret of the 6th string on the downbeats of beats 2 & 4.

Still play the chord while doing the G note - this makes it sound like a boogie shuffle.

Not much else to say.  Fun and very easy song to play.  Great song!
