Wow! Those chords are all over the place. I first heard this song on Linda Ronstadt's "Mad Love" album. This proves that if the song itself is great, pretty much anyone can cover it.Hats off to Costello in the first place.Thanks,Simon!
Jammed with dave edmunds in Monmouth after a horseriding week end he was an absolute gent, I was playing bum chords & singing out of tune, he loved it 😊😂
Hey Ken, thanks! I'm glad that the lesson helped. All the best, Simon ps if you'd like to support the channel you can do that at patreon.com/simonmorel
Any chance you could do a lesson on Nick Lowe's "So It Goes"? I saw Nick and Dave play with their band Rockpile at Sydney’s Stagedoor Tavern back in ‘79. Mental As Anything were the support. A fabulous gig!
Hey Rohan, good suggestion. I've got a bit of a long list, but I'll put it on. Thanks for watching. Please do subscribe and hit the bell for two new lessons every single week. Cheers, Simon
Hi C B'more, thanks for watching. I've transcribed it here as per the original recording (th-cam.com/video/S4TzjRFfsJs/w-d-xo.html) - out of interest though where do you put the capo? Cheers, Simon
@@SimonMorelguitar Hi Simon you put the capo on 2nd fret. Play B using an A shape. If you watch the clip of Dave E playing on NYE Later with Jules this is exactly what he is doing. It gives a great ringing sound. The intro using shapes for G F C.
confused as hell....in the old MTV video of rockpile, edmunds plays it in G#.....in the tabs, everyone says its in A.....now your playing in B!!!!!....oh hell, man...I will just wait untill Billy Bremner comes to new haven this fall, and ask him
Hi John, thanks for watching. Sorry you are stuck. This is the Dave Edmunds version of this tune. Have a listen to his original and you will the first section starts with the | B | A/B E/B A/B | section, then the first chord in the verse is Db. I'm pretty confident it's as per the original record, that's the version I transcribed here. th-cam.com/video/S4TzjRFfsJs/w-d-xo.html - hope that helps. All the best, Simon
@@SimonMorelguitar great lesson simon.this is per the record ..however i get Johns confusion as every clip on youtube he seems to play in a diff key,sometimes with a capo.....

@@rikantony6571 Maybe he's keeping it interesting for himself! Who knows. These pop stars are a menace... Thanks for watching
There are some simplified versions of this on the net in A..... Not had a chance to play it yet, but I really like stuff in the original key...
Hey Steve, thanks for watching. Original key is always the best! Cheers Simon
