Jailbird - Primal Scream
from the album: Give out but don't give up
transcribed by Gareth Clayton

NOTE: A chord version of this song already exists, transcribed by Ben
Smith.  However, it is not entirely correct:  he uses a D chord in place
of a Bm, and an F#m chord instead of an F#  Most importantly though, he
doesn't include the riff which is, without doubt, the best bit.  I should
however give Ben credit for making sense of the lyrics - something I could
not have achieved in a thousand years!

intro/main riff:

    play for 3 bars                 play for one bar

E I------------------------------I------------3--2---------I
B I------------------------------I------------3--3--2------I
G I--0h2--2----2------------2-0--I--0h2--2----0--2--2------I
D I--0h2--4h5--2h4--2p0-----2-0--I--0h2--4h5--0--0--2------I
A I---------------------3p0------I------------2--0--0------I
E I------------------------------I------------3------------I
                    {useful}
h = hammer on
p = pull off

This riff pretty much takes the form of an A chord, using
the first finger to block out the top 4 strings.  Obviously
the chords G->D->A conclude the fourth bar.

Overall, this riff is a great way to combine picking with
some funky strumming.  The "pull off" part labelled {useful}
can be used throughout the song during the A chord.

The chords for the rest of the song are as follows.

verse 1:
A

G                Bm                G->D->A
