Happy

Transcribed by Benjamin Reed. [email protected] 
 
This is a Keith riff rocker.  
It was cut by Keith, Bobby Keyes (sax) and Jim Price (drums) 
whilst waiting for the rest of the band to turn up. 
 
 
go into open G (take the low E string off) tune to GDGBD  
(strings 5,4,3,2,1 respectively) put a capo on the fourth fret  
so that open string (00000) will be B. 
 
CHORDS:   
B= 00000 
B2= 02010 
RIFF1 - BASED AROUND `E` 
RIFF2 - BASED AROUND `E` 
There are 2 riffs in the Chorus.  
the  first riff goes like this (repeated twice) 
 
------5-------5 
5-5-6-5-6-6-6-5 
5-5-7-5-5-5-5-5 
5-5-5---7-7-7-5 
5-5-5---5-5-5-5 
 
THEN ITS THIS BIT (REPEATED TWICE) 
 
0-0-----5--- 
0-0---5--5- 
0-0-5-----0 
0-0--------0 
0-0--------0 
 
the verse structure is all in B (open strings) and is the normal 
rock`n`roll formula but it is adapted to open tuning - 
 
0-0-0-0-0-0 
0-0-1-0-0-1 
0-0-0-0-0-0 
0-0-2-0-0-2 
0-0-0-0-0-0 
 
B 
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset, 
 
it always burned a hole in my pants. 
 
Never made a school mama happy, 
 
never blew a second chance on love. 
 
======== 
Chorus 
 
RIFF1 
I need a love to keep me happy, 
RIFF1                          
I need a love to keep me happy. 
RIFF2 
Baby, baby keep me happy. 
RIFF2 
Baby, baby keep me happy. 
============= 
 
B 
Always took candy from strangers, 
 
didn't wanna get me no trade. 
 
Never want to be like papa, 
 
working for the boss ev'ry night and day. 
 
Chorus 
====== 
RIFF1 
I need a love to keep me happy, 
RIFF1 
I need a love to keep me happy. 
RIFF2 
Baby, baby keep me happy. 
RIFF2 
Baby, baby keep me happy. 
 
 
B 
Never got a flash out of cocktails, 
 
when I got some flesh off the bone. 
 
Never got a lift out of Lear jets, 
 
when I can fly way back home. 
 
 
Chorus 
====== 
RIFF1 
I need a love to keep me happy, 
RIFF1 
I need a love to keep me happy. 
RIFF2 
Baby, baby keep me happy. 
RIFF2 
Baby, baby keep me happy.
