#------------------------------------------------------------------------------##My arrangement of the guitar portion of "Tonight" can be played byanyone who knows how to move a barre chord up and down the neck. It might beincorrect but it doesn't sound like it is. If you disagree, or if you have"Tonight"(Gordon Gano)Performed by Violent Femmes on "ROCK!!!"(1995)main riff-G5 C5 D5E---------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------| G----------------------x-5--5--5\\7--7--7-----------| D----5--5--5--5--5---5-x-5--5--5\\7--7--7-----------| A----5--5--5--5--5---5-x-3--3--3\\5--5--5-----------| E----3--3--3--3--3---3------------------------------|Play this riff as freely as possible. Just strum it to the rhythm ofthe song and it should sound alright. The timing can be best determined bylistening to the music but a good guideline to follow is to start the riffwhen Gordon says "Tonight..." and start it again when he says "get" as in"get high," "get laid,"etc. It's really not that hard to understand ifyou're listening to the music.(bass intro)Tonight. (3x)G5 C5 D5 G5 C5 D5To- night I want to get high(2x)G5 C5Tonight I want to get high, high, highA5 D5I don't care if I live or dieG5Tonight, cause I want to get high(fill 1)fill 1-E-----------------------------------7-7-7-7---------| B-----------------------------------7-7-7-7---------| G-----------------------------------7-7-7-7---------| D---------------------------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------|(For the next two verses, use a similar pattern).Tonight, I want to get drunk (2x)Tonight I want to get drunk, drunk, drunkI'm big enough yeah I'm a punk!Tonight, cause I want to get drunk,A5 D5 (fill 1)But it would be much better if we do it togetherTonight cause I want to get laid(2x)Tonight I want to get laid, laid, laidI don't care if I get good gradesTonight cause I want to get laid.For the next two verses, it sounds like everything is moved up one fret,making a G#5-C#5-D#5 progression:substituted chords-G#5 C#5 D#5E---------------------| B---------------------| G----------6------8---| D---6------6------8---| A---6------4------6---| E---4-----------------|G#5 C#5 D#5 G#5 C#5 D#5To-night cause I want to get f**ked(2x)G#5 C#5Tonight I want to get f**ked f**ked f**kedD#5Do me slow or do it abrupt!Tonight cause I want to get f**kedA#5(?)
