Hey, Hey What can I do?

Hello & good morning http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I was wondering if anyone new where I could find/ purchase the sheet music for "Hey, Hey What Can I Do?"

Hey there Gary,

Thank you for the tab. It's big a start. However I have to confess (and shamefully) that I'm not too keen on tab because it's too confusing for me to read.

In the meantime, I will plow through this and make it work

Again Thank You http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

And IIRC the pitch on the recording is a little off, like it's halfway between two keys.

Maybe that's the reason why I have not been able to pick this up by ear? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Not sure but I'll find out when I try to work through that tab.

Keith, if you have a decent ear, the song shouldn't be hard to figure out. I can hear the changes when I'm listening and it sounds like it's in A or G, but when I play along it's in almost in Ab but not quite. If you you play it in A, it goes:

Intro:
A G D

Verse:
A E G D A
A E G D A
A E G D A
A C#m F#m D (you can do a second position E - 4-2-2-4 for the C#m)

Chorus:
A A G D D2 D (For the D2, play an open D and lift your finger off the 2nd fret on the E string - 2-0-0-0)
A A G D D2 D
A A G D D2 D
A A G D D2 D

The chorus part repeats at the end.
