Cold Turkey John Lennon

I remember hearing this one for the first time on the "Live Peace in Toronto" album and thinking at the time this was a terrific song full of raw power. The kind of stuff John did best. Off course he had Eric Clapton playing lead for him so that helped, but subsequent to that performance I have seen numerous video's of John doing the lead work on guitar.
Now he has a version of this song on his acoustic cd which is quite an easy song to play, so here goes.
Am G
Temperature's rising
Am
Fever is high
Am G
Can't see no future
D Am
Can't see no sky
Am G
My feet are so heavy
Am
So is my head
Am G
I wish I was a baby
D Am
I wish I was dead
C G Am
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Am G
My body is aching
Am
Goose-pimple bone
Am G
Can't see no body
Dm Am
Leave me alone
Am G
My eyes are wide open
Am
Can't get to sleep
Am G
One thing I'm sure of
D Am
I'm in at the deep freeze

C G Am
Cold turkey has got me on the run
C G Am
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Am G
Thirty-six hours
Am
Rolling in pain
Am G
Praying to someone
D Am
Free me again
Am G
Oh I'll be a good boy
Am
Please make me well
Am G
I promise you anything
D Am
Get me out of this hell
C G Am
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Now the chords are given in the cd sleeve as D7 instead of the G I have here.
I got these chords from the internet and after playing both versions I prefer the sound of the G over the D7 but thats just me. You may find it harder to change to G from Am and choose to go the D7 route (nothing is cast in stone)

Here is a nice video of a guy doing a cover of this and He seems to be doing a straight Dmajor at the G or D7. Its all a matter of choice and whats best for you.

I particularly like the muted slide down the fretboard he does just before he sings "On the run"

If you want the original riffs and fills added here they are

RIFF 1 This is the intro, play it once
e|-----------------------------------|
B|---7b8-7b8-7b8-7b8--5-----5--------|
G|---7b8-7b8-7b8-7b8--5--7--5--------|
D|-----------------------7-----------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|


Then play this RIFF 2
E:----------------------------------------
B:--8----7----5----3------------------
G:--9----7----5----4------------------
D:----------------------------------------
A:----------------------------------------
E:----------------------------------------

then its the same riff as the intro thats played before each line of the verse is sung
e|-----------------------------------|
B|---7b8-7b8-7b8-7b8--5-----5--------|
G|---7b8-7b8-7b8-7b8--5--7--5--------|
D|-----------------------7-----------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|

The chorus is payed like this
P.M.................................
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---|
D|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---|
A|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---|
E|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---|


Then play RIFF 2 after singing "got me on the run"

Then just repeat all as above

Just to finish here is John doing this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZiQ3Z-w-dg He seems to have either Jesus or John the Baptist playing bass for him here ??
