Author/Artist: Gary Moore/Albert Collins Title: I'm Tired Album: ? Transcribed by: Rhett Cutshaver Email: genexrs@cox-internet.com There are two guitars in this song. Albert's is the thinner, less distorted sounding one. It almost sounds like he's using an old TubeScreamer. If you listen to the song, you'll be able to recognize each different guitar part. There are some serious bends throughout this song, so if you have trouble bending in tune, you can slide up to the indicated fret. (i.e., in the intro sol
o, there's an 8b10, meaning bend up to the 10th fret, or a whole step. Alternati vely, you can slide up to the 10th and back down to the 8th). Also, I've noted underneath when a note requires a 1/4 bend. Also, any harmonic symbols are 'pinch' harmonics. Again, this transcription isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. -|-5------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| -|--8-7-5-------------|-------------------------------------------------------| -|--------7b8p5---5---|-------------------------------------------------------| -|--------------7-----|-------------------------------------------------------| -|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| -|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| This lick is repeated x 4 w/ Gary and Albert trading off --5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--8b9-5--5--8b----8b10-8--5-------5------------------| ----------------------------------------------------5-----5------------------| ------------------------------------------------------5h7----------0--0------| --------------------------------------------------------------/4-2------4----| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Intro-Albert (1/4 bends) 1/4b ---5---8b--5---------------8b9-8-8-8-5-5-5-5----------------------------------| -5---5-----------5------------------------------------------------------------| -------------5h7------------------------------2b-0----------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------2-2------------------------| --------------------5--3------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1/4b 1/4b -|----------------------4-5---------------------------------------------------| -|6-7-------------------4-5---------------6-7---------------------------------| -|5-6-------------------5-6---------------5-6---------------------------------| -|6-7-------------------------------------6-7---------------------------------| -|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| I laid down last night, to tired to wake.
