Tuning: DADDAD (from high to low, or low to high, as you want!)



 Okay for this one I'll use a chord-like presentation, but when

you see the chord name, you'll have to do a slide up to the chord

(i.e. if it's a G chord, you'll have to slide from F# to G). It's

only for the verse...

 For the chorus the strumming technique is really weird. You've got

to rest your guitar on your lap, strum in dead note and lay your slide

on every start of measure (I don't know if I'm very clear, but, anyway,

listen to the record to catch the rythm)

 Also, I know there's some mistakes in this transcribtion, so any

comment/ correction/ help in any way would be appreciated!)



so here's the chords for this song:

      D A D D A D

F     3 3 3 3 3 3

G     5 5 5 5 5 5

D XII 121212121212

A     7 7 7 7 7 7



         G

you look like gold to me

            F

and I'm not to blind to see

                  D

you look like gold



you make me want to say

with all the joy you bring

you look like gold



Like the rays down from the sun

when a new day has just begun

you look like gold



A         F

I've been fooled before

A         G

but now I know

A         F

I've made the mistake in the past

A         G

but now I know the difference

A             D

from gold and brass



not the kind of gold that you wear

but the kind that can feel my care

you look like gold



some shine when the day is new

but fade when the day is through

but you look like gold



I've been wrong before

but now I know

I've made mistakes in the past

but now I know the difference

from gold and brass



solo:

(You really need to play on an high action guitar with heavy strings

in order to avoid pull-of buzzes with the slide...)

And here's my poor attempt to transcribe the Bass part, which is

pretty much the same as Otis Redding 'My Girl' (Cool Song!)
