TECLO

This is a great album (naturally; great artist, great album). I have

somewhat confirmed the following chords by watching the band play

live.

There are 3 main parts to this song: Intro/General Rhythm, Lead, and

Chorus...

=========================

Intro Chords

Strings 6 5 4 3 2 1

Am x 0 2 2 x x

Am? x 0 2 3 x x

Em 0 2 2 x x x

G 3 2 (2) x x x

G* x x 0 0 0 x

Intro Chords and General Rhythm:

Play the below figures with a tremolo effect. Actually, I think these

chords run through the length of the song, except for the last verse

and the "let me ride" choruses. One guitarist plays this, the other

one (Joe Gore) plays the lead line. Listen to the album for rhythm.

Am / Am? / Am / Em / G / Em / G

Am / Am? / Am / G* / Em / Em / G (or G*)

=======================

Lead Line:

Pluck the following individual notes (should be played completely on

the E string, I saw it live)

E F# G /D D B

(the /D means to slide up to the D)

=======================

Chorus

This is for the "let it ride part". It is a kind of arpeggio, and

because of the sound, it should probably be played the following way

(near the 12th fret), with the guitar's pickup selector on the NECK

pickup, to get a nice, round, bell-like tone. (Please email me with

corrections--I'm not very sure on this part). The stretch from the C

to the 12th Fret D can be a bit tough...

Lyrics: Listen to the song, you'll get the idea

(Play Rhythm)

Long goes the night

Longer the day

Teclo your death

Will send me to my grave

(Play Chorus and Lead)

(Play Rhythm)

I learned to beg

I learned to pray

Send me his love

Send him to me again

(Play Chorus)

Let me ride

Let me ride

Let me ride on his grace for a while

Let me ride

Let me ride

Just let me ride on his grace for a while

Long goes the night

Longer the day

Teclo your death

Will send me to my grave

Let me ride

Let me ride

Just let me ride on his grace for a while

Let me ride

Let me ride

Just let me ride on your grace for a while

Chorus (play Lead and Chorus)

just let me ride
