Party In The Usa Chords & Tabs
This is my first submission. I like the song and the funky guitar riff.
And I got it figured out exactly. Don't tell my friends I'm posting this.
The song has three parts: Verse, Chorus and Bridge
The parts are unmistakable when you listen to it.
VERSE
Here's some tab that should get you through.

B----------------X-X----11-----11----------------X-X-------11-11----9---|
G--------10/11---X-X----10-----11----------------X-X-------11-11---10---|

F5/F#5 A#m F# F# F# C#
/ = slide
F5 = x x 10 10 x x
F#5 = x x 11 11 x x
A#m = x x 11 10 11 9
F# = x x 11 11 11 x
C# = x x 11 10 9 x

To really nail this you have to finger it correctly so I'm going to give the chords
with left
hand finger to be used after the slash. 1 is your pointer finger and 4 is your pinky.
F5 = x x 10/3 10/3 x x
F#5 = x x 11/3 11/3 x x
A#m = x x 11/3 10/2 11/4 9/1
F# = x x 11/3 11/3 11/3 x
C# = x x 11/3 10/2 9/1 x
(And for you Theory nerds I thinks it pretty clear the A#m is actually a F#maj7(no root)
I digress!)
CHORUS
F# A#m D#m
Big barre chords work just fine
F# = 2 4 4 3 2 2
A#m = 6 8 8 6 6 6
D#m = x 6 8 8 7 6
BRIDGE
This part doesn't have guitar but the chords are
C# D#m C# G#m C# D#m B C#(type 2)
Note that the final C# in the bridge lasts for only the last two beats so it's easy to
it.
Here are some nice voicings that I use for this part.
C# = x x 6 6 6 x
D#m = x x 8 8 7 x
G#m = x x 6 4 4 x
B = x x 9 8 7 x
C#(type 2) = x x 11 10 9 x
Hope this is helpful and enjoyable - this one's a lot of fun!
