Renegades
Played By: 18 Hertz
Music & Lyrics By Darrell Gilliard
This song is played in the key of EM. Listen to the song on Garageband.com
under the band name 18 Hertz and you will get a feel for the strumming
patterns. I use a Strat and a modified Les Paul and new software I just got.
The guitars are all recorded direct in straight from a preamp to the computer
instead of micing the amps etc.... Peace....
Intro Riff:
D------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------7--------------------------------------------------
E---0---3/5-------5--------------------------------------------------
You play the individual notes open E, G slide to A then play the A5
bar chord using the low E 5th string and A string 7th fret. You'll then
get the riff for the verses in the song. It's a pretty simple riff.
This is the Chorus Chord Progression played with double down strokes
on each bar chord as tabbed below.
G-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D---------9------7------5------7-------------------------------------
A---------7------5------3------5-------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's basically the rhythm parts for the song.
The guitars are used to create the groove and the mood for the drums
and the vocals.
Verse 1
It was the 4th of September
In my home town
There was this group called the Renegades
They were laying it down
I had my girl on my shoulders
Givin the band the eye
When there drummer started looking back
She told me goodbye
Chorus
Would you still love me
If I told you some little lies
You see I'm no different
Than all those other guys.
Would you still want me
If I said the right things too
I got to know the answer
Or I'll never get over you
Verse 2
I got my own band now
Groupies are waitin in my car
But I still think about you baby
Wherever you are
Would you still love me if I told
You some little lies
You see I'm no different baby
Than all those other guys.
Chorus
