We Don’t Like No Football

Words and Music by Raccoon

as recorded on Loose In The City

The chord progressions to this song are basically (without the sus4, etc. variations):

·        A, D*, G

·        A, D

 

Note: The music to this song is the same chords and rhythm as “Ring Your Bell” but without the chorus part.

 

The A chord is done using the E-form bar chord at the 5th fret.

 

* This D chord is played with the ring finger on the 5th fret of the 6th string, the pinkie on the 5th fret of the 5th string and the middle finger on the 4th fret of the 4th string (same as using the C form brought up two frets and adding the low A note on the E string at the 5th fret - It’s essentially a D chord with A as the bass note). Only strum the top 3 bass strings. (I will add chord diagrams later).
