Hammond Song

Performed by the Roches on their Self Titled Album

(Words & Music by Margaret A. Roche)

(Song starts in E flat.

Capo third fret and play as if in C.

Cuz who likes to play in E flat?  Not me.)

Chord 1 is C with the second finger off

Chord 2 is C with the second finger hammering on

Chord 3 is F with the second finger off

Chord 4 is F with the second finger hammering on

(Intro)

1  2    1  2  

1  2    1  2

   1              2      1  2          

If you go down to Hammond

       F          C      1  2

you'll never come back

F      3           4  3

In my opinion you're

C            1      2    C

on the wrong track

F            3            4  

We'll always love you but

3          4         C  1   2

that's not the point

G       F        am

ooo  oooo        ooooooo

1   2     1    2  

   1            2         1   2

If you go with that fella

    F        C   1   2

forget about us

F         3        4 3

As far as I'm concerned

C                

that would be just

F            3        4  

throwing yourself away

F          C   1  2

not even trying

G       F      am       1  2   1  2

Come on you're lying to me

(Then there's the interlude with the Robert

Fripp guitar solo. The chords under it sound like this:)  

am(with first finger off)

am(with first finger on)  

am(with first finger off)

am(with first finger on)

C             1  2  

(Then the song modulates up to B flat.

Play as if in G cuz who likes to play in B flat?

Not me)

Chord 5 is G with the second finger off

Chord 6 is G with the second finger hammering on

5  6  5  6  

     5              6      5  6

Well I went down to Hammond

  C        G      C   G

I did as I pleased

C           1      2  1  

I ain't the only one

      G         5    6

who's got this disease

C             1            2

Why don't you face the fact

        G     5   6

you old upstart

D  C        em

We fall apart

   1            2        1  2  F  C  1  2

If you go with that fella

F          3          4  3

You'd be okay if you'd

             C     1  2

just stay in school

G     F3F   am  1  2  1  2  

Don't be a fool

   1                 2     1  2

Do your eyes have an answer

   F            C    1  2

to this song of mine

F         3        4 3

They say we meet again

C             1  2

on down the line

F           3           4  3

Where is on down the line

          1  2  1  2

how far away?

G       F     am 1  2  1  2  1  2  1  2  

Tell me I'm okay

   1              2      1   2  

If you go down to Hammond

       F          C    1  2  1  2  1  2  1  C

you'll never come back
