Settle For A SlowDown
Robbie Harrington on bass
(plays a vintage Fender thru a Mesa, BB750 i believe)
**Live he drops D and plays the low there
This is the basic pattern, with fills from the cd and
from the live dvd thrown in; the way i play it at shows
Intro
G--------------------------3-------------3h5-3-
D-------------3-----------------------3----------
A-5-----------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------3--------------------
D-------------3----------------------7-5--------
A-5---------------------------------------8-7-5

A-5------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------
Standin there in your rear view
G--------------------------------------
D-3--------------------------5-------
A--------------3------------------------
E----------------------------------------
Gettin soaked to the bone
G------------------------------3-----
D---------------3---------------------
A-5----------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------
*I play a 5 string and drop here, so if you dont have the lower B, just play the D higher like above
This land is flat as it is mean
G---------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------

Chorus
Wheels just turn, down the road ahead
If it hurts at all, aint showed it yet
Keep lookin for, the slightest sign
You might miss what u left behind

E--1---------------------------------------
I know theres nothing stoppin you now
G-----------------------------------
D--------------------------9--------
A----------------------/9-----------
E--3--------3-5---6----------------
But ill settle for a slowdown
(repeat second line of intro)
Second verse is pretty much the same as the first except he doesnt do the run lick
After the second chorus ends, theres a lead lick, bass same progression
....ill settle for a slowdown
G---------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------- 2x
A--------------------------1-----------
E--------------1-1-----------------------
B--3-3--------------------------------
*quiets down, lead drops out
the first part is the bass fill from the cd, the second from the dvd cuz the cd wasnt much
Chorus
Wheels just turn, down the road ahead
G------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------
A----------5-------3-5--8-7-----3-1-3/5
E-1-----------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------
If it hurts at all. aint showed it yet
G----------8p7-----------------------
D----------------8--------------------
A------------------8\-------3--------
E--(6)---------------6----------------
B---------------------------------------
The rest is like the first chorus
Ends with
Settle for a slowdown,...cmon just slowdown
G------------------------------------
D------------------------------------2 or 3x
A------------------------1-----------
E-------------1-----------------------
B---3---------------------------------
Hope it helps! Pretty simple but theres some cool fills to add that new sound
