Movin On

by Mick Ralphs

from the album Bad Company

This is one of my favorite songs, so I decided to share it. If you have

any corrections, please let me know. Have fun!

E-----------------------------------

B--8-------6-------5--5h6--6---5----

G--7-------5-------5--5----5---5----

D--9-------7-------5--5h7--7---5----

A-----------------------------------

E-----------------------------------

Play twice, with slight variation.

Another idea for those first two chords is below. I haven¹t decided

which way I prefer. They¹re pretty similar.

E--3-------1------------------------

B--1-------1-------5--5h6--6---5----

G--3-------2-------5--5----5---5----

D----------3-------5--5h7--7---5----

A-----------------------------------

E-----------------------------------

Ok, on to the verse. I don¹t know all the chord names, so I¹ll do my

best to give you the picking pattern. It¹s basically G,C

I get up in the morning and it¹s just another day

E-------------------------------------------------------

B-12---12-13--x--12---12-13-----x-12-x-13-x-12-x-13-----

G-12---12-12--x--12---12-12-----x-12-x-12-x-12-x-12-----

D-12---12-14--x--12---12-14-----x-12-x-14-x-12-x-14-----

A-------------------------------------------------------

E-------------------------------------------------------

Pack up my belongings, [C]got to get away

E------------------------------------------------

B-12---12-13--x-12-x-13----5---5-6--x-5-x-6------

G-12---12-12--x-12-x-12----5---5-5--x-5-x-5------

D-12---12-14--x-12-x-14----5---5-7--x-5-x-7------

A------------------------------------------------

E------------------------------------------------

Play this again until you reach the C chord, then use this ending to

bring you into the chorus

gotta show tonight well I¹m Movin On

E--------------------------------------------------------

B----5-----7-----8------9----------10-------11--11--10---

G----5-----7-----8------9----------10--10---10--10--10---

B--5------6-x-6-x-6---5---

G--5---5--5-x-5-x-5---5---

D--5---5--7-x-7-x-7---5---

A-------------------------

E-------------------------

Ok, so I didn¹t do such a great job of giving the rhythm, but the chords

are there. Listen to the record to get the feel.

There is a little riff at the end of the chorus that takes you into the

second verse. Here is how I fake it:

E-------------------------

B-------------------------

G--/9---9-7-5-7-5---------

D--/9---9-7-5-7-5---------

A-------------------------

E-------------------------

I also worked out a little bit of the solo. All in C minor pentatonic, I

believe.

E--------------------------8----8----11b13-------

B--8h11p8--11b13---11-8-11---11------------------

G------------------------------------------------

Lyrics

Verse 1

Well I get up in the morning and it¹s just another day

Pack up my belongings, I¹ve got to get away

Jump into a taxi and the time is gettin tight

Gotta keep it movin, I gotta show tonight, well I¹m

(Chorus)

Movin on,

Movin on from town to town

Well I¹m movin on baby, can¹t seem to stop now

Verse 2

Well I¹m [taking two more tickets babe]?

I haven¹t got a hope

Headin for the Golden Gate, feelin pretty low

Fifteen minutes later, I¹m sittin on a plane

Fastening my safety belt, well I¹m movin on again

Repeat Chorus

That¹s all I have right now. If you have anything better or the

complete solo please send it to me, Thanks!
