From: longmire@mcs.com (Bob Longmire) Subject: TAB: Hit the Road Jack / Ray Charles This is my first post here, and I'm not exactly sure about the credits. I believe Ray wrote this himself. If anyone knows better, let me know. I'll hold off before posting this to Nevada. Enjoy -- TITLE: HIT THE ROAD, JACK Written by : Ray Charles Arranged by : Bob Longmire MAIN RIFF (aka Chorus): (**) (1) (2) E -0---0-|-------------|-------0--0-|-0--0--5--5-|-8--8--5-0----| B -------|-1-----------|-1--3-------|------------|--------------| G -------|----2------2-|------------|------------|--------------| D -------|-------------|------------|------------|--------------| A -------|-0--0--------|------------|-0--0-------|-8--8---------| E ---0---|--------3--3-|-1--1--0--0-|-------3--3-|-------0----0-| (3) (4) (5) E --------------------|-------0----|------------|----------0----| B ----0h1-------------|-1--3-----1-|----1--0----|-1--1--0-------| G ---------2-----2----|------------|-2--2--0----|-2--2--1-------| D --------------------|------------|----2--0----|-3--3--2-------| A ------0--0----------|------------|-0--0-------|---------------| E ------------3--3----|-1--1--0--0-|-------3--3-|-1--1--0-----0-| (**) Repeat this a few times as needed.

Get into position for the next two-note chord. (2) Using the higher F is a form of cheating, but when played up to speed the octave change is hidden. This is the main trick of the piece. (3) The measure actually starts with the hammered-on C. I didn't include the bar only because it looked hard to read that way. (4) It takes extra practice to move the left index finger from the second-string C to the sixth-string F. Same as bar 2. (5) This is the same high E as the first note in the main riff, so you can see that the timing is not exact. I hope you can get the idea through the feel of this rather than exact notation. NOTES on Verse: (6) Set the left index finger on the second-string C now, and use the pinky for the D. The ring finger can handle the bass G. (7) Same as note 4. (8) Use a full first-fret barre to fret both the second and sixth strings. Keep the ring finger on the A while changing this. (9) Syncopate the bass with the melody here. (10) The second verse has an extra 4 bars. Make it up as I'm getting tired of doing this. FINGERING: I find it easier to use the pinky to fret the low G on the first four measures, and to use the thumb for the F. (Please don't flame this part; I have had lessons but sometimes expediency prevails over theoretical technique.) This keeps the right hand in a good position for doing both melody and the step-down bass. [CRDPRO] Main Riff (aka Chorus) Hit the [Am] ..[G] and [F] ..[E] .. No [Am] ..[G] ..[F] ..[E] ..
