                          VIOLENT FEMMES - Gone Daddy Gone

Tuning: standard

Many versions of this song suggest to play the chorus in an eeeeeasy way that may be 
acceptable but I like to play it a little bit differently. It's as easy as the other 
versions and it adds "something" to it.

Main riff

G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|-55--5-33--3-22-1-11/-------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

(/ = slide back to A---5--- and repeat)

Chorus

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-0-(0)7-0-----7-0-555/888~---------------------------|
A|----------8------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

Main riff variation (these are just the same notes of the main riff, but sometimes I 
like to play 'em on the E string and right close to the bridge 'cause the sound gets a bit 
more aggressive)

G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|-10-10--10-88--8-77-6-66/-----------------------------|

(/ = slide back to E---10--- and repeat)

During the bridge and the end of the song you can also add some "Brian Ritchie's style" 
improvisations just foolin' around and hammerin'-on on A and D string between 5th and 
7th fret.
