Dirty Water

Rockin All Over The World 1977
Greg Harper   *

Francis: Standard Tuning
Richard: Open G- Capo 5th Fret

I have BASED this tablature on the live
version that can be found on Youtube.
Although Rick fill in between the words most of the time,
I have written down how he would play the chords.


Ricky has this little riff that goes:

D|-19-17-14-12-10-| 
B|-17-15-12-10-8--| 
G|----------------| 
D|----------------| 
G|----------------| 
D|----------------|

Main-On the record a C is played at the beginning of the verse.
Live, he misses it out:

C
Oh Oh Oh Oh  (Oh Oh Oh Oh)
           F
The waters gettin deep
            G    F
And I can't swim
         G               F G
'Cos its dirty dirty water
      C  F         C  G
Oh Oh Oh Oh (Oh Oh Oh Oh)

C                 G          C
Many's the time I ask you to say
C                  G          C   F
Why do you feel so bad day to day
                   C     F
Could it be you're wrong
                 C
To push yourself along
  F
I say it's not a guess

You make yourself a mess
    D                      G
And get yourself in deeper water


Bass comes in playing the root note twice to each chord.

C                     G             C
Why do you think it's all wrong for you
C                 G               C
Maybe it's in somethings that you do
F            C
Baby, it's alright

   F              C
To stay up every night
   F
If I could change your mind
    F
I'd bring you back in line
   D                         G
To do the things you really oughta


Whole band in full swing...

Bass does something like this:
  C
G|----------------------------|     
D|----------------------------|     
A|-3-3---3-3------------------|     
E|-----3-----3---1-1-1--1-1-1-|Etc. 

      C                 F
Oh oh oh oh the water's getting deep
            G    F
And I can't swim
     G
If I could can I come in?
F  G    C               F
Oh Oh Oh Oh the water's getting deep
            G    F
And I can't swim
             G            F
Because it's dirty, dirty water
   C        F
Oh Oh Oh Oh
      C     G
Oh Oh Oh Oh

The odd 7th chord appears on the track.
They don't always play it live though.
This tab is a good mixture of the two.
E-mail me if you want me to put it into bars for you.
