Jason Mraz - Mudhouse Gypsy Mc

_______________________
/ jason mraz / i found this sweet little rap – tune on the bonus disc
/ mudhouse / gypsy mc / that comes with the limited edition of “we sing . we
/______________________/ dance . we steal things . ” jason is a great rapper as well!

song structure :
the guitar part for this song is very simple!
these 8 bars are repeated all the way through the song .

| Em7 | Em7 | C6sus2 | C6sus2 |

| D/F# | D/F# | Em7 | Em7 |

this is how the three chords are played – very typical jason mraz chords .
the brackets ( ) around the notes in the Em7 indicate that these two notes aren’t
played all the time . the high B on the 7th fret is rarely heard , and isn’t very
important . the open E – string isn’t played until later in the song , simply to add
some excitement and power later in the song .

every bar follows the same strumming pattern . this bar is just an example of the
first bar of Em7 . the ( x ) means to strum and mute the strings with your right
palm . this is done to create the “snare drum – feeling” on the beats 2 and 4 .
x then means to usually strum the strings while they’re muted with your left
hand fingers . this is also a very typical mraz – pattern , also used for butterfly ,
when he plays that acoustic .

strumming pattern :
1 2 3 4
