"Straight Shooter" by John Phillips
Performed by the Mamas and the Papas on "If You Can Believe Your Eyes =
And Ears" on Dunhill Records, 1966. =20
Riffs:
Don't bother with these if you only have one guitar. Also, of course, =
you'll have to listen to the record to get the timing exactly and =
everything. =20
Play this riff over all the A and A7 chords, except during the bridge
E-----------------------------------
A---0-----0-----0-------------------
D------7-----5-----4-----2----------
G-----------------------------------
B-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------
Play this riff over all the D7 chords, except during the bridge

Play this riff over all the E7 chords, except during the bridge

Play this right before the second bridge
--------------------------------------------
-----5h7-------5h7-------5h7--------5h7-----
----------5----------5---------5----------5-

--------------------------------------------
During the bridge (I'm pretty sure these are supposed to be played on a =
bass, but it sounds fine on guitar):
After "just to find what I'm lookin' for" on both bridges
---5---5---0---3---0---3---5--------
Between the words "no" and "more"=20
On the 1st bridge:
E--0---0---3---5---7---5---3--------
A-----------------------------------
D----------------------------0---2
On the 2nd bridge:=20
E--0---0---3---5---7---5---3---5---0
Chords:=20
I think the chords sound better played in the basic bar shapes (A, A7, =
and D7 at the 5th, and E7 at the 7th) as opposed to the open shapes. I =
guess you could also put a capo on the 5th fret and play them as if they =
were open, assuming another guitar is playing the riffs.
Urg... I guess I can't post full lyrics... sorry if things are confusing
1st verse and chorus (all subsequent verses follow the same pattern, and =
all subsequent choruses follow the same pattern except the last)
