Walking the Cow

This is the long-winded overly-anal version - but I feel it's a song worth getti
ng right. I have a couple of different guitar versions I'll be posting in the n
ear future. This one attempts to get as close to the original as possible. Ema
il me with any questions about this one.
This songs sounds in C# on Hi, HowAreYou but I m 99.9% certain he played it in C a
nd it s just another one of those tape speed things. On Frankenstein Love he play
s it in C as well.
Piano Chords (I tried to get a close to DJ s voicings as possible)
LH = left hand; RH = right hand; notes in chords are listed low to high
C LH: c/g; RH: c/e/g
C6 LH: c/a; RH: c/e/a
F LH: f/c; RH: f/a/c
F6 LH: f/d; RH: f/a/d
FM7 LH: f/c; RH: f/a/c/e
Dm LH: d/a; RH: d/f/a
Dm7 LH: d/a; RH: d/f/a/c
Am LH: a; RH: c/e/a
Em LH: e; RH: b/e/g
G LH: g/d; RH: g/b/d
Most all chords are played in eighth notes.
The lucky stars rhythm is played by breaking up the three note chords in the right
hand into 1 lower note and two upper notes. For instance, the C6 chord on the
word eyes has c/e/a in the right hand. Instead of just playing those three notes
together, break up the chord into c (thumb) and e/a. The C chord would be divid
ed in the same way: c and e/g. The organ lick goes
| 1 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 2 + 3 + 4
+ |
RH: e/a c e/a c e/a c e/g c e/g c e/g
c
LH: c/a-------------------------- c/g-------------------------------
etc.
