GO FOR A SODA

Kim Mitchell

Transcribed by Willie Kozushko (kozushko@infoserve.net)

The opening lick of this spiffy guitar classic is played within the F chord

Guitar is standard tuning, but the bass guitar is tuned down to Eb.

I've included a finger guide beneath each tab bar.

1=index, 2=bird, 3=ring, 4=pinky

H=hammer on

P=pull off

/=slide up to this position

GUITAR INTRO (play once, then play behind vocal)

"Might as well go for a soda, nobody hurts and nobody cries

Might as well go for a soda, nobody drowns and nobody dies"

First chorus ends with an F power chord in the high position that slides

down to an Eb

The verse is pounded out on bass guitar, F and Eb notes (remember, bass

guitar is tuned down ONE, so the bass notes alternate between first string,

second fret and open bottom string.)

"So we're in one of our blue moods,

you wanna have it your way and I want it mine.

All this debating going round in our blue mood

makes me thirsty for love"

After the vocal line, the lead guitar lick is as follows:

Chorus lyric:

"MIGHT AS WELLLLLLLLLLL

Might as well go for a soda, nobody hurts and nobody cries

Might as well go for a soda, nobody drowns and nobody dies"

Next verse:

"Life seems to be a bomb in inside your head

well the bomb is mine is love.

All this debating going round in our blue mood

makes me thirsty for love"

"MIGHT AS WELLLLLLLLLLL

Might as well go for a soda, nobody hurts and nobody cries

Might as well go for a soda, nobody drowns and nobody dies

Might as well go for a soda, it's better than slander

it's better than lies

Might as well go for a soda, nobody hurts and nobody cries

Might as well go for a soda"

Lead solo.

Any one care to transcribe?

Might as well go for a soda, nobody hurts and nobody cries

Might as well go for a soda, nobody drowns and nobody dies

Might as well go for a soda, it's better than slander

it's better than lies

Might as well go for a soda, nobody hurts and nobody cries

Might as well go for a soda"

That's essentially it. Any questions?
