John Fogerty - Old Man Down The Road guitar tab

Ok guys heres my version of Old man down the road!

The E7 can also be played as a Em and it still sounds right!

Intro:

Use a clear tone with bridge pickup I find works the best, no effects or

fancy tools needed!

Verse 1 Play chords nice and jumpy

E7

He take-a thunder from the mountain

E7

He make the young girl's mama cry

CHORUS:

E7

You got to hidey-hide

G

You got to jump and run

A

You got to hidey-hidey-hide

C D E7

The old man is down the road

Verse 2:

He got the voices speakin' riddles

He got eyes as black as coal

He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide

And he stands right in the road

CHORUS

John'sinstrumental..... same pattern as chorus

Verse 3:

He make the river call your lover

He make the barking of the hound

Put a shadow 'cross the window

When the old man comes around

Chorus(last line twice)

Now for some of the riffs used.. i think you can figure out where.

These are not fully correct, I mainly improvise them.
