You just finished playing G, 555555 and you have the next two chords as 000000 and then the Am7 x05677 I do have a solution for the weird Am7 at the end of the chorus
I changed mine to add a second palm mute so I could kind of capture the clap track. I'm using a slightly different pattern than Vic has written, but it's close enough for me. There is no intro, I just wanted to record a strumming pattern for people to hear if they couldn't figure it out. Sorry if I'm rambling again, but I did get through a few cans of lager whilst doing this.Īnyway, I saw your tab of "stuck in the middle" this morning, grabbed my guitar and recorded. Just shows you how much I've learned from Guitarnoise. Hope you all enjoy learning this as much as I enjoyed the absolute BUZZ! I got when I realised I could play it.Ĭouldn't have played it a year ago, and as for tabbing it.HAH!!!! I've learned something new tonight, thought it my sacred duty to share it with you all. Phew.that was bloody hard work!!!! I started this just before midnight, when I got back from the pub. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.D/D (Two hard downstrokes, let the second one ring.) Then, keeping the D chord on, it finishes like this (same strum pattern as verses.) The chords are exactly the same as for the verses. The instrumental break comes here.you know, the pedal-steel thingie. Yeah, don't (D)think that I can take anymore, Is it (G7)cool to go to sleep on the floor? On the Am7 chord.then repeat the three measures of the D chord you played just before the 1s verse.then back to the normal pattern
#Stuck in the middle with you tab full
sing "please" for a full measure with four hard downstrokes, then sing it again for another four, this time with four hard downstrokes
(This is where the strumming pattern changes.as you hit the DĬhord.with a hard downstroke, just as you start singing "please". Slap you on the back and say, "(D)Please.(Am7)please." (D)And your (G)friends they all come crawling,
(D)Well you (G7)started off with nothing,Īnd you're proud that you're a self-made man, Losing con(D)trol, yeah, I'm all over the place, It's so (G7)hard to keep this smile from my face, Here I (D)am, stuck in the middle with you.Īnd I'm wondering what it is I should do, (A7)Clowns to the left of me,(C)jokers to the (G)right, in case I fall off my chair,Īnd I'm (D)wonderin' how I'll get down the stairs, I got the feeling that something ain't right, (D) Well I don't know why I came here tonight, Phew!!! That's the hardest part out of the way, I've really sweated over that strum pattern!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This pattern is repeated all the way through the verses and all through the chorus until the very end (I'll point out the change when I come to it.) Then there are three measures of the D chord played like this.(m=mute, do this by laying the 3rd finger of your frtting hand lightlyĪcross all the strings.) (whilst still keeping the same steady rhythm, u/d/u/d/u/d.!!!) (On the downstrokes after the 3rd Dx chord, slide down to the next chord, until you come to the four D4/6 chords.on the three downstrokes in between these chords, either palm-mute the whole chord.if you can.or mute the two strings you're holding down, which is easier.just lift them up slightly so's they're not touching the fretboard.then on the last change, slide up from the D4/6 to the D7 without playing the downstroke and then hit the D7 with a downstroke.loudly!!! INTRO.(Keep your strumming in a steady rhythm, starting with an upstroke.roughly about 120 pm.) There are two different voicings of the D chord, for convenience I'll call them D and Dx. Open D tuning.if your weapon of choice is in standard (E A D G B E) tuning, you need to tune to D A D Gb A D. Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel So without further ado.I'll stop waffling and get on with it. (Voice from offstage - "So stop waffling and get on with it, man!!!") There's one (In my opinion, VERY!!!) awkward chord change from a D to an Am7 at the end of the chorus.but apart from that, it's pretty easy. This song was originally released in 1972.don't know how well it did on the American side of the pond, but made top 10 over here in the UK.then it gained a certain notoriety due to its use in a certain scene in Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs".Īnyway, it's one of those songs thats pretty easy to work out, apart from the intro riff.had me baffled for years.till a friend in the pub tonight A) told me it's in open D tuning and B) showed me the chords.I could kick myself, ain't it easy when you know how.!!!!!
