The rhythm is repetitious, a straightforward 12 bar blue pattern. I don't
play the solo on this one, just the rhythm, so that's all I've provided.
I play it with these chords:
Em7 075700
E X7999X
D X5777X
A5 57XXXX
A6 59XXXX
B5 79XXXX
B6 711XXXX
BEER DRINKERS AND HELL RAISERS ZZTOP
Intro (twice)
Em7 groove, ending with:
------------------------
------------------------
------------------------
--------------5~~~------
------5-7p5h7-----------
--5-7-------------------
Em7
If you see me walkin' down the line,
with my fav'rite honky tonk in mind,
well, I'll be here around suppertime
Em7 E D
with my can of dinner and a bunch of fine.
A5 A6 A5 A6 etc. Em7
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah.
B5 B6 B5 B6 A5 A6 A5 A6 Em7 (with intro riff)
Uh-huh-huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
The crowd gets loud when the band gets right,
steel guitar cryin' through the night.
Yeah, try'n to cover up the corner fight but
ev'rything's cool 'cause they's just tight.
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah.
Huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
Ah, play it boy.
(Solo)
The joint was jumpin' like a cat on hot tin.
Lord, I thought the floor was gonna give in.
Soundin' a lot like a House Congressional
'cause we're experimental and professional.
Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah.
Well, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
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 ZZ TOP 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.
