Mrs Browns Tea House - The String Cheese Incident

This song is all about the 7th chords.  
I will use C7 to show all the different ways a 7th chord can be formed.
Throughout the song you can choose which formation to use, some sound better
at different times. 
  
  A   B   C   D

--3---8---X---X
--5---10--10--X
--3---9---9---9
--5---8---8---8
--3---X---X---7
--X---X---8---8 

D7 is the same formation but 2 frets higher

The opening Lick is a G9, slide up from F#9 
   
    G9
--9\10-10-10-10---9\10-10-10-11---
--9\10-10-10-10---9\10-10-10-11---
--9\10-10-10-10---9\10-10-10-11---
----------------------------------
--9\10-10-10-10---9\10-10-10-11--- <--the bass isn't always played
----------------------------------



Mandolin Lick - Here’s the main mandolin lick that Kang plays before
every verse.  It sounds pretty good to me with a little wah and a 
little gain.  Hope you enjoy.

C7                                      G9                                
When you get the notion drink of that potion
Just walk slow across town until you reach Mrs. Brown’s
There’s no need to worry or be in a hurry
Just tell them you’re lookin’ and they’ll get something cooking

Chorus:
D7               C7  
Where you going man?
Mrs. Brown’s
D7          C7
What you say? HEY!
D7                 D#7 E7 F#7
Where you going man?
Mrs. Brown’s Teahouse

(intro lick)

When your ?eyes travel far, you’re gonna look to the stars
Just be sure the beach is always in reach
The music is thumping and the people start jumping
Keep track of your friends, you’re gonna need them in the end

Chorus

BRIDGE (i use formation C here)
C7 B7 A#7    A7 G#7 G7 X 3
C7 B7 A#7 A7 D7

(jam on a C7 G9 progression, go through the chorus without words,
then to the intro)

Grab a table in the sand and check out the reggae band
The red stripes all around while you soak up the sound
The waiter is moving like a robot is groovin’
I can’t take it no more so I head for the shore

Chorus

(Jam on A#9 G9 progression, go through the chorus without words,
then to the intro)

Everybody got their own seat as you walk down the strip
Your life could be changed by a talk with a stranger
Someone told me a story they said that he knew me
He told me a rhyme that transcended all time, how we shared the same space,
Another time, another place
He spoke with a rash about how so many lives have been touched
I said, I remember it well, just how it felt.
Like an arrow of love had been shot from above

Chorus 

(back to intro, then the Bridge....and thats all folks)
