Chord Desert Mountain Showdown by Hootie And The Blowfish

nice bluegrass - ish tune from the ’musical chairs’ album for all redneck wannabes out there album track is played relatively slow but live they turn it up several notches . best to slow and work your speed up . listen to the track for the timing . during the chorus and bridge there are some minor steel guitar licks mixed with the and violin but i havent put them on here . they are relatively simple 3 - 4 notes just as the riff ends so if someone wants to add them later then feel free . alternatively you can just ’wing it’ like i tend to do . main riff : G F C G E : - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - 0 - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | B : - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - 1 - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | G : - - - 0 - - - - - - 0 - - 4 - - 2 - 0 - - - - 0 - - - - - - 0 - - - 2 - - 0 - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | D : - - - - - 0h2 - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - 0h2 - - - - - 3 - - 2 - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | A : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 - - 3 - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | E : - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - x - - 0 - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | chorus chords : Am C G verse 1 - play main riff throughout - - - - - - - robin , robin in the tree wont you come down here and rescue me cause theres someplace else i gotta be and you can stand in for me for a while come on now hurry down no time to play around i need someone to walk this mile she jumped and said like a child chorus 1 - - - - - - - - - Am C G main riff love is gone but now i see Am C you’ve got to capture me to set me free verse 2 - main riff throughout - - - - - - - - miss mina came to me in a dream she said , boy come and walk with me theres someplace else ive gotta see so we strolled along the mountain high she called me boy my friend and i wondered if or even when id see greta and my rose again the time has come for dealing chorus 2 : - - - - - - - - - - Am C G main riff lessons learned and now i see Am C G main riff x 2 you’ve got to capture me to set me free bridge - - - - - - - Am C G main riff and i flew on the wings of a bird Am C main riff and i whispered names of girls i once knew Am C main riff Am C G then she disappeared into a fallen stream verse 1 just play the chords without the riff for this one G F C G chorus 1 chorus 2 end - main riff x 2
