59th Street Bridge Song Feelin Groovy Tab

   
This is just the way I've learned to play it. If you Listen closely to the record you 
little details that are making this song so sweet but aren’t mentioned in many tabs.

I must say the song is capoed on the 3th fret. Maybe paul puts the capo at different 
when he performs it live to sing it more comfortable but I don’t know that for sure.

  C          G/B           Am7       G
E ------0-----------------|------------------------|
B ------------3-----------|1----------(0)----------|
G ----0-----0-----0-----0-|----0---------0-----0---|
D ------------------0-----|------0---------0-------|
A 3-----3-----2-----------|0-----------------------|
E ------------------------|--------(8s)3-----------|

This is the main riff of the song. Repeat this 3 times in the intro. The chords are very 
to play, same as the picking pattern. The notes between ( x ) are optional.

Sometimes you might find paul sliding the bass note on the G chord from a C to a G note.
I have to mention he doesn’t always slide back from the eight to the third fret. 
you can make hear two slides and make it sound a bit groovy but you really have to listen to 
record for that.

On the fourth time in the intro Paul plays this

E ------0-----------------|----------7------------|
B ------------3-----------|1-----------8----------|
G ----0-----0-----0-----0-|----0-----7------------|
D ------------------0-----|------0----------------|
A 3-----3-----2-----------|0----------------------|
E ------------------------|--------------2s3-5s6s7|

First the G chord played in a D shape and then a bass line to begin with the first verse.

For the rest of the song it’s just repeating the first bars. It’s a nice easy song to 
and sing, So enjoy!

Slow down, you move too fast
You've got to make the morning last
Just kickin' down the cobble-stones
Lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy

Hello lamp-post, what's cha knowing
 I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me
Ddo-it-do-do, feelin' groovy

I've got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life I love you, all is groovy
