Shotgun - George Ezra

• A great song with only the four repeating chords!

• Chances to be really adventurous with where and how you strum those 4 chords!

• Take care with the Bb (B Flat) chord. Squash your first finger over the A and E strings BUT keep fingers number 2 and 3 nice and tall and rounded so that they dont 'foul' the other strings! Practise lots!

[Verse 1]

F                     Bb

Home grown alligator, see you later

The sun and change in the atmosphere,

stick around and you’ll see what I mean.

There’s a mountain top, that I’m dreaming of,

       Dm                      C

If you need me, you know where I’ll be.

I’ll be riding shotgun,

               Bb

Underneath the hot sun,

               Dm          C

The south of the equator, navigator,

              Dm                    C

Gotta hit the road, gotta hit the road.

Deep-sea diving round the clock,

Bikini bottoms, lager tops

Dm                        C

I could get used to this

We got two in the front, two in the back,

Sailing along and we don’t look back.
