I *love* acoustic Countdown. Esp. the John Boy & Billy version.

This looks similar to the Soul Drifter in-studio performance. Has a full video of that song ever surfaced.. and has anyone found any more of these? She said "songs"... sooo.. you'd think..

It doesn't sound too hard to figure out, but I'll try giving it a go tonight unless someone else already has then figure out.

OK, this is more or less all there is to it:

Verse:
Countdown............................Shade
------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------
------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------
------------------|-----------------|-2-2-4-2-2-2-4-2-|-----------------
--2-2-4-2-2-2-4-2-|-----------------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-----------------
--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-4-2-2-2-4-2-|-----------------|-2-2-4-2-2-2-4-2-
------------------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-----------------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Chorus:
Countdown...........................Turn around
-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------
-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------
---------------2-|-2-2-4-2-2-2-4-2-|-----------------|-----------------
-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-4-2-2-2-4-2-|-----------------
-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---|-----------------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-4-2-2-2-4-2-
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---|-----------------|-----------------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Bridge:

-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------
-----------------|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-----------------
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|---------------2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-----------------
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-|-----------------|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
-----------------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---|-----------------|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

And it goes:
Verse x2
Chorus x2
Verse x2
Chorus x2
Bridge x2
Verse x2
Chorus x7 (unless I've miscounted)
7th chorus replace the last bar with 6 E5 chords getting slower (ritardando) and finishing on an A5 chord.

That should give you the feel for it, I hope. Sorry it's not in chords, but I wasn't really sure what the x04xxxx chords were best called and because of the rhythms it was very crowded and messy when I tried typing it up with just chord names. He doesn't always play the 4th fret notes during the verse and chorus as I've noted here, for example, the second bar of the first chorus doesn't follow the pattern I've tabbed, but a lot of the others ones do. Basically just do it as you feel, it's something you can play about with.

I'm loving playing this now! Just spent the last hour playing it and singing it at the top of my voice. The people in my flat must think I'm a nutter singing that end bit

EDIT: Oh yeah, and it's tuned down a tone (2 steps) to DGCFAD

thanks very much Peestie,
much appreciated.

i thought i was close to having it. but your tab is spot on.
I had only asked for the chords but you went a step further and produced the tabs.

thanks again.
