MYSTERIOUS
This is simply my interpretation of the song, if i've made any mistakes
please email me at salau00@sac.uky.edu
ELECTRIC GUITAR (standard tuning)
intro B5-B5-B5-B5-A-B5
then B5-B5 D5-D5 B5-B5 E5-E5 ....(repeating)
Bridge
D5 G? D5 G? D5 G? E5
This moment in time, i'm losing my mind, this lady is quite
Mysterious.... B5-B5 D5-D5 B5-B5 E5-E5....
During the lead, Rudy comes in later behind playing B5-B5....B5-B5..
The song is straightforward, playing along with it 2 or 3 times and it
becomes very easy.
BASELINE?
I really don't have a clue, but on the guitar you can play a B-A-B note
pattern every once in a while to follow along. Looks like this:
-------------

--2-0-2------

ACOUSTIC GUITAR
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/scorpions/mysterious_crd.html ]
You can play the same major chords as mentioned earlier.
For the intro and chorus B-B D-D B-B E-E
And for the bridge D G D G D G E
But for those of us with deeper voices (and who can't sing, like me) you can
play the song lower (scale?) with
intro and chorus Am-Am C-C Am-Am D-D
bridge C F C F C F D
CHORD CONFIGURATIONS
i am new to the guitar, so as far as i understand the chords, this is how i
play it on the my strat.
B5 A D5 E5 G? (this is A type of Gmaj i think)
--x-- --x-- --x-- --x-- --x--
--x-- --x-- --x-- --x-- --7--
--4-- --2-- --7-- --9-- --7-- x - don't strike
--4-- --2-- --7-- --9-- --5--
