DiBartola SUBMITTED BY: Stephen P. DiBartola TUNING: Open G (down 5 frets to D) GUITAR: 12 string with slide DATE: REVISED: ================================================================ A T A B P i g s P R O D U C T I O N ================================================================ KEY: / slide up \ slide down ================================================================ COMMENTS: Here is an attempt at PAMELA BROWN, the "Live in Europe" CD version. I became hooked on this song after hearing it on Jet's "Live at Phoenix" tape and seeing Leo play it in Dayton in April. What I like best about this song is the self-delusional point of view - i.e. we all know the speaker would really rather be "driving kids to school." Anyway, I'm new to using a slide and am trying to figure this out on a 6 string (I have other excuses too). Notating timing with slide playing turns out to be impossible for me -- I couldn't even come close with the timing so I gave up! PS Just realized last night listening to the CD again that Leo plays different chord positions for the "one of these days I might be in your town" part for the verse after the instrumental break and plays another verse in very high position - G at the 12th fret. If I can maintain focus long enough (doubtful) I'll try to add that. Meanwhile, anyone want to help out on this song? This is just a rough road map sans timing!!! ...vibrato throughout... 1-----4/5-------5---|-----5-------5---|-----5-------5---|- 2-------0-------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|- 3---0-----0---0---0-|---0---0---0---0-|---0---0---0---0-|- 4-------0-------0---|-----0-------0---|-----0-------0---|- 5-0-----------------|-0---------------|-0---------------|- 6-----------0-------|---------0-------|---------0-------|- P I R I P I R I 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & etc. M M P P 1-----------------| 2-----------------| 3---0---0---0---0-| 4-----------------| 5-0---------------| 6-----0---2---4---| CHORDS FOR VERSES: G (2 bars) C (2 bars) I'm the guy that didn't marry G (4 bars) pretty Pamela Brown C (2 bars) G (4 bars) D (4 bars) educated well intentioned good girl in our town G (2 bars) C (1 bar) G (4 bars) I wonder where I'd be today if she had loved me too C (2 bars) D (2 bars) G (4 bars) Probably be drivin' kids to school C (2 bars) D (2 bars) G (4 bars) And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown /C (2 bars)G (4 bars) D (4 bars) All of my good times, all my runnin' around C (2 bars) D (2 bars)E (2 bars) F (2 bars) One of these days I might be in your town G(XII)(2 bars) C (1 bar) D (1 bar) G (2 bars) And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown Picking pattern for verse: C (for example) 1--|------5-------5---| 2--|------5-------5---| 3--|----5---5---5---5-| 4--|------5-------5---| 5--|--5---------------| 6--|----------5-------| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & P I R I P I R I M M P P Chords G 0-0-0-0-0-5 C 5-5-5-5-5-5 D 7-7-7-7-7-7 E 9-9-9-9-9-9 F 10-10-10-10-10-10 G(XII) 12-12-12-12-12-12 Instrumental break from Live in Europe CD.

12th fret as harmonics, the C at the 17th, and D at the 19th fret! Now there's where a cutaway comes in handy. However, the photo of Leo on the "Live in Europe" CD shows him playing a 12 that doesn't have a cutaway - what kind of 12 is that? Anyone know?
