The CCR tune, don't know if there's another one. This is supposed to be a simple beginner song, but there is something about this song that I just don't get and it seems essential to getting it to sound right.

The chord change right at the beginning goes D, A, G, then back to D.

D - Bump, Buhhhh, Budump,
A - Uhbump,
G - Uhbump,
D - Bump, buhhhh, Buhduhba, Dumba, Dumba

Ok, the part I don't get is the last D chord. When I listen to the song it seems like the chord changes in some way in the last two Dumbas. I don't know what it is but just strumming the D there seems flat and lifeless. Can someone help me out on this one?

I think the common terminology is 'boom-chuck' whereby the boom = the single string root note of the chord, for instance the open D string on a D chord, the open A string on an A chord, the 6th string, 3rd fret on a G chord, etc. The chuck is all the other strings except the boom that make up the chord. So w/that I'm thinking it should be:

D - boom chuck, rest, ^chuck,chuck
A - boom chuck
G - boom chuck
D - boom chuck, D and rock your pinky up and down on the 1st string 3rd fret. I don't know what that chord is called.

that's how I play it.

That's how I play it too. Adding the pinky makes it a Dsus4.

Thanks guys, I'll give it a try this evening.

I call it a 'D add pinky' or a Dinky for short.

Check out my tab on http://bobwolford.com/ I play it in C but that boom chick sound is going between (In your case) D and D6.

I you don't have TablEdit on your computer you can download a free viewer at, http://www.tabledit.com/download/downlo_e.shtml and download the "TEFview". You will see this "boom-chick in measures 7 and 8.

Nice arrangement Bob.

I agree with the D D6 chord structure. Any transcription I've seen does it that way. That is the way I have been playing it. .

OK, when S16 said adding the pinky makes it a Dsus4 I thought he had it right. Adding the pinky drops the 3rd and adds the 4th. So now I confused as to why it's a D6.

[si16]

D6 would be a different chord. Probably played :-

Welp, I'm home now and giving this a try. The D6 didn't seem to cut it at all. So far it seems the that least measure of that bit goes. D, Dsus4, Dsus2, D.

[fly135]

Hmm, ok loaded up Guitar Pro and found some tabs for BMR. I'll have to say that I now agree with the D6 recommendation. It took looking through several GP tabs till I found one that played it this way and had the correct rhythm.
