Red Baron from Distortion as played by Jim Gossett jgossett@u.washington.edu Important Note: In the intro and chorus, it works best to use the Am-form Em chord, barred at the 7th fret. Another important note: At the chorus and intro, Mr. Scott switches to 3-bar phrases. Intro: (Each spot is a half-beat -- it feels like it's in two) ||:D - D Ds4 |G - - - |C - C Em :|| D - D Ds4 |G - - - |C - - - | C - - - |C Cs4 C - |C - (Fill 1) Fill 1 takes up a full measure, so it looks like a ts hiccup here: E--------0-----0-2--|-2--------------------------- B--2-0-------3------|-3--------------------------- G------2------------|-2--------------------------- Fill 2: E--2-0-|-------------0---| B------|-3-2-0-----------| G------|-------2-0-------| Fill 3, kinda sorta: E------|-----------------| B------|-----------------| G----2-|-4-4---2---4---6-| D------|---------4-------| D Bm G A (fill2) Oh, wish I knew where you'd go D Bm G A (fill3) Ooh, you're making plans I know D Bm G A So do just as you have to do C Em But ask when you get there C G Would I have pledged my life?
