Dwight Yoakam - This Drinkin' Will Kill Me (acoustic)

By axehappy - axehappy@

The chords & lyrics for this are already on the site, so I'm just gonna do kind

of a lesson on how Dwight plays the main parts of the song....most of the song is

just straight forward strumming.

*****************************************************************************************

After the intro (which is just changes between G and C), the main song starts:

I've cut a lot of the strumming out, this is very basic...make your own little

strumming pattern using the chords.

This is mainly the fills used:

G C G D G C

E---3------0----0--3--------------------3-----2-----3-----------------3--3-3---0--0-0-

B---0------1----1--0-----------0--------0-----3-----0--------0--------0--0-0---1--1-1-

G---0------0----0--0-----------0--------0-----2-----0--------0--------0--0-0---0--0-0-

D---0------2-0h2---0------0h1h2---------0----0------0----0h2-0--------0--0-0---2--2-2-

A---2-0-2-3--------2-0h1h2-------0-0-0--2-2-3-------2-0h2------0-0-0--2--2-2--3-------

E--3--------------3--------------0-1-2-3-------0-2-3-----------0-1-2-3----------------

G C G D G Em

(chorus starts here)

E---3--0-0--3--3-3---3--3-3--2---------------------0---|

B---0--1-1--0--0-0---0--0-0--3--------------0------0---|

G---0--0-0--0--0-0---0--0-0--2--------------0------0---|

D---0--2-2--0--0-0---0--0-0-0-----------0h2-0--0-0-2---|

A---2--3-3--2--2-2---2--2-2----0-0-2-0h2-------2-0-2---|

E--3-------3---3-3--3---3-3----0-2-3-----------3-2-0---|

The chorus is really easy....just strumming, not many fills.

The only one I thought worth tabbing is this fill in D, which occurs at the end

of the chorus just before it goes back into the verse:

E--2-2-2---------2---|

B--3-3-3---------3---|

G--2-2-2---------2---|

D--0-0-0-0---0---0---|

A--------0h2-0-0-----|

E--------------2-----|

And thats about all I'd expect you'd need to know!

My email address is at the top of the tab, so if you need any more help,

just let me know!
