From: Nitsuh Abebe Subject: "Don't Tell Your Mother" Date: unknown These are a bit sketchy, and I'd welcome any refinement, but you'll get the basic idea from this. MAIN RIFF: E--0--0---------------- B--0----0-------------- G--1------0--0--2------ D-2----------------0--- A---------------------- E---------------------- After this few times (intro), there's an additional chord change: E------0----0---0-------0----0---0-- B---2--2----2---2----4--4----4---4-- G-2----2--2-2-2-2--4----4--4-4-4-4-- D----------------------------------- A----------------------------------- E----------------------------------- note: this is basically just an A then a B with the E string open The only other verse part is a fill line, over that. I haven't been able to figure out the full chords to the chorus. The first is a C, the second is a D (or some form thereof), and the third is some kind of E. I usually play the following as broken chords: E--- --- --- B-1- -3- -5- G-0- -0- -4- D-2- -4- -5- A--- --- --- E--- --- --- ------------------------------------- Author: Allison Subject: Chords for "don't tell your mother" Date: unknown intro: E G E G E G verse: E G E G Don't tell mother about A B E G where you go when i turn down (?)
