Taj Mahal es músico de blues, Taj logró fusionar lo rural con el jazz, el blues, reggae, calypso, zydeco y música hawaiana en una sintetizada e infinita melodía propia.
Nació en Nueva York en 1942, su un padre era un indígena de la zona del oeste de Estados unidos y su madre era Afroamericana, Taj fue expuesto a multiples culturas desde su nacimiento. Taj Mahal grabo su primer disco en 1967 y rápidamente estaba dando shows con los Grateful Dead y Jefferson Airplane.

TAKE A GIANT STEP- Taj Mahal
Drop E down to D (DADGBE)
D Though you failed at love and lost D/C And sorrow's turned your heart to frost D/BD I will mend your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled Its time its time its time you felt like that again
CHORUS: DCDC There is just no percentage in remembering the past DCGB Its time you learned to live again and love at last GD Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind GD And take a giant step outside your mind
You stare at me with disbelief You say for you there's no relief But girl I swear it won't do you no harm Don't sit there in your lonely room Just looking back inside that gloom Mama that's not were you belong
Come with me I'll take you where the taste of life is green N' Everyday everyday hold on woman just got to be seen Come with me leave your yesterday your yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind
FIRST VERSE, CHORUS
NOTE: This song really needs two guitars to give it justice, but I've worked it out here for one. For the verse chords, there is a little riff to play on each, on the first string. Something like this:
E ---2-0h2-3-2-0-2---2-0h2-3-2-0-2---2-0h2-3-2-0-2----| B ---3-3---3-3-3-3---3-3---3-3-3-3---3-3---3-3-3-3----| G ---2-2---2-2-2-2---0-0---0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-0-0----| D ----------------------------------------------------| A -----------------3---------------2------------------| D -0-----------------------------------------------0--|
