Hi everyone!
Today i will be tabbing an amazing cover, and hopefull help you nail this it. Cover of Rude by Emily Muli!
The cover can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Y8epwUO9I
The chords shes playing through the song is:
AMaj7 - B7 - EMaj7 - C#7sus
e ----------------------------|
b --5-----7------9-------9----|
g --6-----8------8-------8----|
d --6-----7------9-------9----|
a --------9------7------------|
e --5-----7--------------9----|
The last chord im 90% sure of, Emily doesnt always seem to be holding down the g string on the 8th fret.
So... There is also an F chord she is using in the end of her own litle twist of this song.
I dont have the lyrics to that part though so i wont be tabbing that part.
The hardest part with this song is getting the rythm down, Emily and Magic is playing in a rythm that i with
no guitar lessons would like to call "jamaican rythm". An ofbeat rythm.
I will make a short guide how to learn this rythm below the tab!
To the song! Glhf!
Intro:
AMaj7 - B7 - EMaj7 - C#7sus
[Verse 1]
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
Saturday morning jumped out of bed and put on my best suit
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
Got in my car and raced like a jet, all the way to you
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand To ask you a question
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
Cause I know that you're an old fashioned man yeah yeah
[Pre Chorus:]
AMaj7 B7
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
EMaj7 C#7sus
say yes, say yes, Cause I need to know
AMaj7 B7
You say I'll never get your blessings till the day I die
EMaj7 C#7sus
Tough luck my friend but the answer is no!
[Chorus:]
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
Why you gotta be so rude? , Don't you know I'm human too
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
why you gotta be so rude I'm gonna marry her anyway
AMaj7 B7

EMaj7 C#7sus

AMaj7 B7

EMaj7 C#7sus
Why you gotta be so rude
AMaj7 - B7 - EMaj7 - C#7sus x2
[Verse 2]
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
I hate to do this, you leave no choice I can't live without her
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
Love me or hate me we will be boys Standing at that alter
AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus

AMaj7 B7 EMaj7 C#7sus
You know she's in love with me She will go anywhere I go
[Pre Chorus]

[Rythm Guide]
This is how i did it and im sure there are better ways but im selftaught on guitar so...
E ------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B -----5-----x--5-------7-----x--7-------9------x---9---9-----------------------|
G -----6-----x--6-------8-----x--8-------8------x---8---------------------------|
D -----6--6--x--6-------7--7--x--7-------9--9---x---9---9-----------------------|
A -----------------------------------7----------x-------------------------------|
E --5--------x------7---------x-------------------------9-----------------------|
So i slowed down the video and watched it a couple times. This is pretty much the fingerpicking pattern.
Start out slow and then increase speed until that you can play with Emily.
When she switch to strumming in chorus its pretty much:
Down - Up - Slap - Down.
