Penthouse Pauper Chords & Tabs
Hey, this is like my fifth ever so cut me a little bit of slack. This is a jammin' song
there were no tabs for it so i took the liberty of tabbing it myself. It's probably
85% correct. Not perfect but the basis of the song.
Here is the intro.
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|--3-3~--/5-5~---7-7~----------------|
D|--3-3~--/5-5~---7-7~----------------|
A|--1-1~--/3-5~---5-5~----------------|
E|------------------------2--3--4--5--|
D5 G5 D5
Now if i were a brick layer, i wouldn't build just anything
G5 D5
If i were a ball player, i wouldn't play no second string
Bb C5 D5
If i were some jewelery baby, lord I'd have to be a diamond ring
D5 G5 D5
If i were a secret, lord i never would be told
G5 D5
If i were a jug of wine, lord my flavor would be opld
Bb C5 D5
I could be almost anything, but it got to be twenty-four carrot solid gold.
( Continue that pattern for the song)
I am going to put the guitar fill according to the number. For example, the first riff
the section numbered 1, would be for the first line. 2 for the second, and so forth.
