Artist: Old 97's
Song: The One
Tuning: Standard
Transcribed By: Max Quinn.
I'd just like to note that I haven't touched Ken's little solo in the verse that's about
It works of the C position Fmajor scale, and I've just been improvising off that.
Ken's Guitar part in the intro, however, is just an ostinato revolving around the F in
6th fret of the B string. It's along the lines of...
e-------6-5-8-5-6-5----|
B---6-6----6-------8-6-|
G-/7---7---------------|
D----------------------|
A----------------------|
E----------------------|
The chords are
F/F/Gm/Bb x 4

Gm Bb F
Got a check for nothing
Gm Bb F
All made out to someone

Murray says we’re gonna
Gm Bb F
take the money sometime
Gm Bb F

Ken

These appear to be power chords, so G5, Bb5, F5 if you're going for accuracy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gm Bb F
Throw the money in the van
Gm Bb F
It all worked out just like we planned
--------------------------------------------
Think Old School Country for Ken's part here. Must be played fairly quickly. He seems to
a lower sound than what I do, so it's conceivable he'in drop D, but I'm not sure on this.

F/F/Gm/Bb x4
Love gets passed around so freely
They’re so touchy and so feely
I’m hanging on to mine
I like you California
Although I feel obliged to warn ya
We’re gonna rob you blind
What’s the point in cutting tracks
With all this money in the back?
Now the good times have begun
That’s not a fire -- it’s just the sun
It’s like the old man said
Take the money and run
What’s the rush?
Let’s take The One
