"Girlfriend"

chords are:  C# - B - F# for the verses, and F# - B - F# - C# for
the choruses... all the lead stuff in is C#, and with those chords
does that make it mixolydian, since F# - B - C# define F#?

I want to love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh I want to love somebody
I hear you're looking
for somebody to love

'Cause you need to be back
in the arms of a good friend
and I need to be back
in the arms of a girlfriend

I didn't know nobody
and then I saw you coming my way
Oh I didn't know nobody
and then I saw you coming my way

Don't you need to be back
in the arms of a good friend?
Oh 'cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you
my girlfriend
[solo]

Don't you need to be back
in the arms of a good friend?
Oh 'cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you
my girlfriend

'Cause you
got a good thing going baby
You only need somebody to love
Oh you got a good thing going
You're only looking
for someone to love
'Cause you need to get back
in the arms of a good friend

And I'm never gonna set you free
No I'm never gonna set you free

A note about the solo...

From: jason e lemon (jasonlem@juno.com)

I noticed on your transcription that you posted a question about the solo
being in the mixolydian mode. I might be mistaken, but when I listen to
it, the solo sounds like it is in the C# minor penatonic scale. From what
you posted, I think the key of the song is in C# Mixolydian, which is
relative to the key of F#. If the solo was played as a F# major scale,
but starting on the 5th degree of the scale, which is a C#, this would
make the scale mixolydian, as you stated. It is the same thing as playing
a C# major scale with the 7th degree of the scale lowered a half-step.
This results in the notes in the chord being C#, D#, E#, F#, G#, A#, B,
C#, which, coincidentaly, are the notes in F# major. You'll notice that
1, 3, 5, and 7 of the above mentioned scale are the notes C#, E#, G#, and
B, which spell out a C#7, which is the dominant chord in the key of F#.
This the chord that the mixolydian scale is based on.
