Guitar chords with lyrics


Here is a song called  "Bad Luck" from the great social distortion album
"somewhere between heaven and hell" from 1992.     Technically, it's in
the key of Ab as all of the songs from this record are in flat keys.   
Its an unusual chord progression because it is a VII-IV-I.   To enable
you to play with both open chords and/or barr or power chords and to get
the classic social distortion sound, tune your guitar down a half step or
1 semitone.   Doing this also eliminates writing all the "flats" in the
transcription.     If you play these following chords exactly as is
without lowering your guitar a half-step, you will be playing out of key
to the recording.   During the verses, play using palm-muted power
chords, and during the last few measures of each verse and during the
chorus', play using open position chords.   You can hear exactly when to
change shapes while listening to the recording.   I declare these notes
my own work.   Steve Wolfe

The entire song is just a G-D-A.  Again, with a guitar dropped half
step. 

Finger them this way:

    (G) (D) (A)                 (G) (D) (A)
    p.m.-------                    open

E------------------------------------3---2---0------------
B------------------------------------0---3---2------------
G--------7--------------------------0---2---2------------
D----5---7---7---------------------0---0---2------------
A----5---5---7---------------------2--------0------------
E----3--------5---------------------3--------------------


I will be submitting many social distortion songs in the near future.
