You know jhc, I agree and I think I ended up playing it in G more or less accidentally late at night. Dropped D for key of D (D - A - G for I - IV - V) sounds much more like the recording. I'm a little hectic to write a whole tab right now I wish you luck, I'm curious what you'll put up for the nice little run up, maybe I'll tab it out when I have more time.

So I've been working on this song a bit. It's in open G, and the progression is all I - IV -V stuff (i.e. G-C-D). The basic lick is (my interpretation):

(open G tuning -lots of hand-heel muting)

G rhythym thing

0-0-0-0h2-3-X --> 0-0-0-2p0-3-X

C is:

0-0-2-0-1-X

D is:

2-2-4-2-3-X

for the verse, it's:

[G] That's the thanks that I get [C] for loving you[G]

[G] That's the thanks that I get [C] for telling you the [G] truth

[C] You say you wanna [D] know

[G] Well I go and I go [C]

General idea... please contribute, I'm still just working this out... the run up for (falsetto) 'I think we're both crazy' is pretty easy once you play the C-D part, too lazy to tab right now till I have it all figured out. Play the 'solo' along with him the figure the scale, it's G-minor pentatonic. Nice bluesy/soul feeling, he plays the muting in a funky way... practice that part (I still am!) A friend said this is her favorite Wilco/Tweedy song she's heard me play, and I still fuck it up here and there as I'm figuring it out.

Got one of these for a sooooonng.

Plays nice, good electronics, one of the best sub-$1000 cutaways I've every played. (List $789, averages about $500-$550 on the web sans case).

Play one sometime.

(It's an Alvarez AJ-60SC).

Hi All,

I was working on this, because I like the drunken piano bit in the background, but I thought of all of you, and was wondering if any of you have it all done (lyrics/piano/guitar/banjo/whatever)? I'm having a little trouble with some of the lyrics, as well. Google has no answers, and the lyrics archives are blank... Any thoughts?

The chord movements are pretty straightforward - still working it all out, but it's:

verse: F# - A - G#m

chrous: C#m - G#m - F# - some tricky B root or F#/B inversion

riffy bridge: A - G#m - F#

bass stuff in F#, weird riffs, well, they're O'Rourkeisms

lyrics:

You were wrong

To believe

In me

You bought hearts

And discuss birds

Translate me

blah blah blah

for trains

While the floor

opearates my legs

And my eyes

my eyes

finger the ring

You were wrong

To believe

In me

When you leave

You're not gone

Inside me

You were wrong

You're not gone

You were wrong

Trees are turning

From blah blah blah

Don't advertise

I interrupt

You were wrong

To believe

In me

When you leave

You're not gone

Inside me

You were wrong

I would like to 'claim' Too Far Apart, if possible. I've been playing that one for a long time.

I've been playing a Takamine G series spruce top since I bought in 1995 at the Guitar center on north clark in Chicago for (I think) $300, and I would probably lose my s**t if I lost that guitar, because it's the only guitar I've held on to since I started playing. So, play some of those. I think they've perhaps improved a bit, some people like the fir top. I wouldn't pay extra for the abalone, though.
