Mando Diao - Long Before Rock N Roll guitar chord

Mando Diao

Ode To Ochrasy

Long Before Rock'n'Roll

Live at TRL Germany

there is no riff, it's only one guitar that plays the chords,

it shouldn't be difficult to get the strumming pattern (or if you don't get the right

just think of one;)

Tuning: standard, EADGBE

chords you'll need:

Em(barre): Cm(barre): Am(barre): G:

Am: Em: D7: B:

E-----7-----------3-------------3---------3-----2-------------0----2----2-|

B-----8-----------4-------------3---------0-----3-----1-------0----1----4-|

G-----9-----------5-------------3---------0-----2-----2-------0----2----4-|

D-----9-----------5-------------5---------0-----0-----2-------2---(0)---4-|

A-----7-----------3-------------5---------2----------(0)------2---------2-|

E-------------------------------3---------3-------------------------------|

Intro:

the song starts on Em barre, then just one time Cm(barre), then to Am(barre) then to G

then to D.

You'll need to listen to figure out thw thing with the Cm-change from Em to Am.

Em Am

She said I like just lying on the bed

G D

Beneath the ceiling with her head upon my pillow

D7

There's nothing as I'd rather do

Em Am

And I said I'd rather do it on the couch

G

Or in the kitchen where about

D

You seem so down child

D7

Like nothing could destroy your world

Em

But I never ever wanted to

Am

You never ever let me to

G D

I would but you must wait 'til it gets dark

Em

So what is it that you want me to

Am

I can't make it even good for you

G D

So play me some from 1954

B

Long Before Rock 'n' Roll

Yeah, before Rock 'n' Roll

Before Rock 'n' Roll

between the verses: Em Am G D

Em Am

Well later she came with flowers in her arms

G D

And we can do it in the car my brother owns it

D7

The driver's seat is made for us

Em Am

And I said I'd rather grab a bite to eat

G

There is a diner down the street

D7

Let's take it easy

And join this lovely harmony

Em

But I never ever wanted to

Am

You never ever let me to

G D

I would but you must wait 'til it gets dark

Em

So what is it that you want me to

Am

I can't make it even good for you

G D

So play me some from 1954

B

Long Before Rock 'n' Roll

Yeah, before Rock 'n' Roll

Long Before Rock 'n' Roll

Long Before Rock'n'Roll

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

during outro play:

Em Am G D

end on D

there's not much diffrence to the album version,

just an other strumming pattern

and the main riff.

as well as in the album version there are couple of diffrent organ fill ins i couldn't

'em but

to me they sound like kind of arpeggios of the played chords
