Don't wait till the battle's over - Walter Hawkins '84
« on: July 03, 2008, 07:33:41 AM »
Anyone have the chords to this song, or could direct me to the link?
Thanks!

Tried following this dude, but was going a lil too fast.
Gotta give it to him, he worked the keys.

I would have thought this song to be already posted, but I guess I may have been mistaken...

I'm not at a board and I can't see the video from work, but here is what I remember off the top of my head..., I'll try to correct mistakes later and complete.

O.k., I'm at lunch now...that is Sam on the vid...LOL...I'm just giving the basics, I won't even try to break down all of his fills...lol, but I noticed some corrections needed already on the chords below...the corrections are in Blue......I'll try to do a basic midi later...without all the fills.

The original song is in the Key of Ab...

Intro
***3X***
Bb/Db-F-Bb
C/Eb-Ab-C
Db/F-Ab-Db

C/Eb-G-Bb or an AbMaj chord
Eb/EbMaj chord
F/Eb-Ab-C-Eb (Fm7)
******
D/F-Ab-Db
C/Eb-Ab-C
Bb/Bb
Ab/C-Eb-Ab

Chorus
Ab/Eb-Ab-C - Don't wait 'til
C/Eb-Ab-C - the Battle is over to
Db/Db-Gb-Bb - Shout
Db/Db-F-Ab

Gb/Db-Gb-Bb - (filler)
F/Db-F-Ab - (filler)
Gb/Db-Gb-Bb - (filler)

Gb or Eb/Db-Gb-Bb - You
Gb or Eb/Db-Gb-Bb - know in the
F/Db-F-Ab - end
F/Db-F-Ab - You're
F/Db-F-Ab - Gon'na
Ab/B-Eb-Ab - Win

Gb/Db-Gb-Bb - (filler)
F/Db-F-Ab - (filler)

Again top of Chorus

G/Db-F-G-C
C/Db-E-G-Bb

F/Eb-Ab-C
Bb/C-D-F-Bb
correction - got back to Intro chords from here 2nd time around...
*******

D/A-C-D-F
G/G-B-D-F

C/Bb-Eb-G (filler)
F/Ab-C-Eb (filler)
Bb/Ab-C-Db-F (filler)

That's the entire song except for the vamp at the end, which is not to difficult to pick up, just listen to the bass notes...

I'm sorry, I didn't make this video as a lesson. I use a mirad of chords, inversions, counter chords and free rolling bass patterns.
I love music, any kind of music.
