Movin On
by Mick Ralphs
from the album Bad Company
This is one of my favorite songs, so I decided to share it. If you have
any corrections, please let me know. Have fun!
Intro
E-----------------------------------
B--8-------6-------5--5h6--6---5----
G--7-------5-------5--5----5---5----
D--9-------7-------5--5h7--7---5----
A-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------
Play twice, with slight variation.
Another idea for those first two chords is below. I haven№t decided
which way I prefer. They№re pretty similar.
E--3-------1------------------------
B--1-------1-------5--5h6--6---5----
G--3-------2-------5--5----5---5----
D----------3-------5--5h7--7---5----
A-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------
Ok, on to the verse. I don№t know all the chord names, so I№ll do my
best to give you the picking pattern. It№s basically G,C
[G]I get up in the morning and it№s just another day
E-------------------------------------------------------
B-12---12-13--x--12---12-13-----x-12-x-13-x-12-x-13-----
G-12---12-12--x--12---12-12-----x-12-x-12-x-12-x-12-----
D-12---12-14--x--12---12-14-----x-12-x-14-x-12-x-14-----
A-------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------
Pack up my belongings, [C]got to get away
E------------------------------------------------
B-12---12-13--x-12-x-13----5---5-6--x-5-x-6------
G-12---12-12--x-12-x-12----5---5-5--x-5-x-5------
D-12---12-14--x-12-x-14----5---5-7--x-5-x-7------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------
Play this again until you reach the C chord, then use this ending to
bring you into the chorus
gotta show tonight well I№m Movin On
E--------------------------------------------------------
B----5-----7-----8------9----------10-------11--11--10---
G----5-----7-----8------9----------10--10---10--10--10---
D----5-----7-----8------9----------10--10---12--12--10---

B--5------6-x-6-x-6---5---
G--5---5--5-x-5-x-5---5---
D--5---5--7-x-7-x-7---5---
A-------------------------
E-------------------------
Ok, so I didn№t do such a great job of giving the rhythm, but the chords
are there. Listen to the record to get the feel.
There is a little riff at the end of the chorus that takes you into the
second verse. Here is how I fake it:
E-------------------------
B-------------------------
G--/9---9-7-5-7-5---------
D--/9---9-7-5-7-5---------
A-------------------------
E-------------------------
I also worked out a little bit of the solo. All in C minor pentatonic, I
believe.
E--------------------------8----8----11b13-------
B--8h11p8--11b13---11-8-11---11------------------
G------------------------------------------------

Lyrics
Verse 1
Well I get up in the morning and it№s just another day
Pack up my belongings, I№ve got to get away
Jump into a taxi and the time is gettin tight
Gotta keep it movin, I gotta show tonight, well I№m
(Chorus)
Movin on,
Movin on from town to town
Well I№m movin on baby, can№t seem to stop now
Verse 2
Well I№m [taking two more tickets babe]?
I haven№t got a hope
Headin for the Golden Gate, feelin pretty low
Fifteen minutes later, I№m sittin on a plane
Fastening my safety belt, well I№m movin on again
Repeat Chorus
That№s all I have right now. If you have anything better or the
complete solo please send it to me, Thanks!
