Ready For Love

by Bad Company
by Mick Ralphs
from the album Bad Company
Notation
**=let note ring!
^^=staccato
/=slide
Opening Riff - Asus4, A
[Asus4]
[A]
E-----------------------------------------B-----------3**-------2**-----------------G---------2------2--------2-------2-------D-------2----------2--------2---2---2-----A-0**-------------------------0-------0---E-----------------------------------------[Asus4]
[A]
E-------------0----------------------------B-----------3---3-2------------------------G---------2---------2-------------2--------D-------2-------------------2---2---2------A-0**-------------------------0-------0----E------------------------------------------As far as I can tell, the verse just follows a simple arpeggio
chord progression (A,C,D,C,B,A,G,F). I don't know the actual
pattern, but you can try just about anything. Here's a simple
example. Let the bass notes ring throughout.
[A]Wanderin down..[C]rocky road
E-----------------------------------B---------2-----------------5-------G-------2---2-------------5---5-----D-----2-------2---------5-------5---A-0**-----------0---3**-----------3-E-----------------------------------[D]Wonderin where my [C]life is [B]leading
E-----------------------------------------B---------7h8p7---------------------------G-------7-------7-----------5----------4--D-----7----------7--------5----------4----A-5**-----------------3**--------2**------E-----------------------------------------[A]Rolling on
[G]to the bitter [F]end
E-----------------------------------------------------1--B---------2-------------------------------------------1--G-------2---2--------------4----------------2---------2--D-----2-------2----------5---5------------3---3-------3--A-0**-----------0------5-------5--------3-------3-----3--E------------------3**-----------3---1**----------1---1--(Actually, that B chord may be a figment of my imagination,
but I like it in there!)
Pre-Chorus
[D]Ooohhhhhh
Oooh
(I want you to stay)
E--------------------------------------------------B--7**------------7^^--------7**------------7^^-----

G--7**------------7^^--------7**------------7^^----D--7**------------7^^--------7**------------7^^----A--5**------------5^^--------5**------------5^^----E--------------------------------------------------My notation here is kinda strange. You should really smack


that D chord the first time and let it ring, then cut it off
the second time (staccato??) If you listen to the record
it'll be pretty self explanitory)
Play this 3 times, then, for the last time, play.....
[C]todayyyyy
[D]ayyyyyyyy - you get the idea
E------------------------B--5-------------7-------G--5-------------7-------D--5-------------7-------A--3-------------5-------E------------------------Then on to the chorus, which is just G,A,C,D
[G]Rea[A]dy for love
[G][A]
Oh baby I'm
E--------------------------------------------------B--------------------------------------------------G--4//6-----6-------6--------4//6-----6-------6----D--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-----7-------7----A--5//7--7--7----7--7--------5//7--7--7----7--7----E--3//5--5--5----5--5--------3//5--5--5----5--5----[C]Rea[D]dy for love
[C][D]
E--------------------------------------------------B--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-----7-------7----G--5//7-----7-------7--------5//7-----7-------7----D--5//7--7--7----7--7--------5//7--7--7----7--7----A--3//5--5--5----5--5--------3//5--5--5----5--5----E--------------------------------------------------At the end of the chorus is a decending riff, like the verse.
Try something like this:
[C]
[B]
[A]
[G]
[F]
[G]
E-----------------------------------1----------3---B-----------------------------------1----------3---G-------0------0------0-------0-----2----------4---D------0------0------0-------0------3----------5---A--3**----2**----0**----------------3----------5---E------------------------3**--------1----------3---That's pretty much the song. I haven't compared it too closely
to the album, so I'm sure there are mistakes. But it sounds
good to me so it should at least provide a good start.
There's also plenty of room to improvise, especially during the
verses. Have fun and I hope someone makes use of this!
Please let me know if you have anything better

Walkin' down this rocky road,


wonderin' where my life is leading
rollin' on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way
what it takes to keep love living,
you should know how it feels my friend

Oo i want you to stay


Oo i want you today
I`m ready for love - oh baby I`m ready for love
Ready for love - oh baby I`m ready for love
Now i`m on my feet again
better things are bound to happen,
all my dues surely must be paid.
Many miles and many tears
times were hard but now they re changing
you should know that I`m not afraid
Oo i want you to stay
Oo i want you today
I`m ready for love - oh baby I`m ready for love
Ready for love - oh baby i`m ready for love
oh for your love.
