Party In The Usa

Miley Cyrus

Text File

This is my first submission.  I like the song and the funky guitar riff.
And I got it figured out exactly.  Don't tell my friends I'm posting this.

The song has three parts: Verse, Chorus and Bridge
The parts are unmistakable when you listen to it.

VERSE

Here's some tab that should get you through.

e---------------------------9-------------------------------------------|
B----------------X-X----11-----11----------------X-X-------11-11----9---|
G--------10/11---X-X----10-----11----------------X-X-------11-11---10---|
D--------10/11---X-X----11-----11----------------X-X-------11-11---11---|
A-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
         F5/F#5        A#m      F#                         F# F#   C#
/ = slide

F5 = x x 10 10 x x
F#5 = x x 11 11 x x
A#m = x x 11 10 11 9
F# = x x 11 11 11 x
C# = x x 11 10 9 x

To really nail this you have to finger it correctly so I'm going to give the chords 
with left
hand finger to be used after the slash. 1 is your pointer finger and 4 is your pinky.

F5 = x x 10/3 10/3 x x
F#5 = x x 11/3 11/3 x x
A#m = x x 11/3 10/2 11/4 9/1
F# = x x 11/3 11/3 11/3 x
C# = x x 11/3 10/2 9/1 x

(And for you Theory nerds I thinks it pretty clear the A#m is actually a F#maj7(no root) 
I digress!)

CHORUS

F#   A#m   D#m

Big barre chords work just fine
F# = 2 4 4 3 2 2
A#m = 6 8 8 6 6 6
D#m = x 6 8 8 7 6

BRIDGE

This part doesn't have guitar but the chords are

C#  D#m  C#  G#m  C#  D#m  B  C#(type 2)

Note that the final C# in the bridge lasts for only the last two beats so it's easy to 
it.

Here are some nice voicings that I use for this part.

C# = x x 6 6 6 x
D#m = x x 8 8 7 x
G#m = x x 6 4 4 x
B = x x 9 8 7 x
C#(type 2) = x x 11 10 9 x

Hope this is helpful and enjoyable - this one's a lot of fun!
