Matties Rag

mattie’s rag gerry rafferty notes : this was originally recorded by gerry rafferty in the key of D minor . i have tabbed it in a minor . if you wish to play in Dm then set capo to fret 5 . the Cmaj7 is a passing chord and is played on the just the fourth beat of the bar i . E . C C C cmaj7am Am Am Am etc . the Dsus4 chord is played on the first two beats of the bar D D D ddsus4 Dsus4 D D . consider it optional as i’m not sure gerry rafferty played it but i think it sounds good . Am E oh mattie you open up the door Dm7 C Cmaj7 that’s right i’m home again Am E you’ve got a big surprise in store Dm7 C turn ’round and count to ten . F wait till you see what i got you , well D Dsus4 D youll say it’s a magic thing , its F like an old mandolin man , you just G G7 wind him up and hell start to sing . Am E i’ve been away for quite a while Dm7 C Cmaj7 and i want to hear all your news Am E speak to me , let me see you smile Dm7 C ’cause i’ve had those home sick blues . F when i go down to the city D Dsus4 D i just don’t know wrong from right F when i get back to you mattie , well G G7 you make me see the light . Am E Dm7 C Cmaj7 Am E Dm7 C F love is a singular thing , it can D Dsus4 D take you up or bring you down , yes F love is the song that i sing , so come G G7 on now mattie listen to the sound . Am E when you grow up we’ll sit and talk Dm7 C Cmaj7 of how things used to be Am E i’ll be your grand old man of rock Dm7 C Cmaj7 with all these memories . Am E Dm7 C Cmaj7 . . . and fade
