This wonderful song is in 3/4 time.
Tune your guitar to the recording. On the CD I have, everything seems to be
a quarter-tone flat for most of the tracks on the album.
Play to the basic rhythm of each bar having 4 eighth notes followed by a
quarter. You'll obviously know the rhythm if you have heard the song
before.
Play most chords as barre chords. The A, A7 and D are in the 5th position,
until you go to the turnarounds, then you can play in the standard open
form.
Each chord name represents one bar.
INTRO :
A A A A
Verse: (Play verse twice the first time through)
A A A A
A7 D G G7
Bm Bm/A E E7
C#m C#m F# F#
Bm A E E7
Chorus:
A C#m G Bm=A=D (Each chord gets one beat for this measure)
E E E E
Verse:
Up 'til now ....
Up 'til now ...
Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh wooo ohh ooh.
Verse: (Solo on top of Verse)
Chorus: (with solo still going)
I never, I never, I never
Verse again:
Up 'til now ...
Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh wooo ohh ooh.
Verse:
Up till now ...
Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh wooo ohh ooh.
Up till now ...
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official THIN LIZZY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
