Spooky by Classics IV - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Classics IV Song List
Version 1 Version 2
Song: Spooky
Artist: Classics IV
Music: Mike Shapiro & Harry Middlebrooks Jr.
Lyrics: James Cobb & Buddy Buie
Tabbed by DJ 15th Oct 2012
NOTE: 'Classics IV' recorded different versions in the keys of Em and also in Fm.
The most commonly heard mix on compilation albums is in Fm, so use a capo at the
first fret for that one.
By the late 1990's, the bands' vocalist, Dennis Yost, dropped the key down for
live performances to Dm, use the transpose function set to (-2) to display the
chords in Dm for those versions.
Atlanta Rhythm Section's cover version has a key change, it starts off in Em
and then modulates up a semi-tone to Fm.
CAPO: 1st fret (Song will then sound in Fm) See info above
Em7 = 079787 A#dim7 = xx2323 Emadd9 = 022002
A13 = 575675 Bm7 = 797777
p = pull-off note ^ = Emphasise the syncopated beats
