Erotic City
by Prince from "the Hits/B-sides"
IntroBass--------------|---6---4------|---------6----|--------------|
Funky guitar – Prince plays a choppy funky riff throughout the intro and verse and
It would be impossible to replicate every one of his riffs but the trick is to keep the same
chord in mind. Also, IÂ’m pretty sure this guitar track was speeded up in production a la Camille.
G#7 (x11-10-11-11-11) is the basic chord but he plays different little riffs such as:
Riff 1 (most repeated riff)--------------------------|---11------------11-------|-------11--13-----11------|--------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|
Riff 2---------------------------|----11h13--13--13p11-------|----11h13--13--13p11-------|---------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
Riff 3----------------------------------|----------11----------------------|----------11----------------------|---8/10---------------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
Keyboard riff (transcribed for guitar)---11------9---11-------------11---------9-------|-------11----------------------------11----------|-------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
Chorus
B (xx4442) F# (xx4322) B? (xx4422)
If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Bmaj7 (xx434x)*-NC
Fuck so pretty you and me, Erotic City come alive
B F# B?
We can fuck until the dawn, making love till cherryÂ’s gone.
Bmaj7*-NC
Erotic City canÂ’t you see, fuck so pretty you and me
Bridge is essentially the same except the bass changes to:------------------------------------------------|----8---4----6---8----4-------------------------|------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------|
*This chord is played and then immediately stopped.
