I've been looking for a decent standard tab for this one and haven't really found one, so I've got one of my own. I think it's a little better than that other one:

D D/B A

e|-x x x

b|-3 3 2

g|-2 0 2

d|-0 0 2

a|-x 2 0

e|-x x x

x in this case just means don't play that string

VERSE:

[D]

Summer comes and gravity undoes you

[D/B]

You're happy because of the lovely way the sunshine bends

Hiding from your close friends

[A] [D]

Weeding out the weekends

CHORUS

[D/B] [A]

Candy left over from Halloween

[D] [D/B]

A unified theory of everything

[A]

Love left over from lovers leaving

[D] [D/B]

Books they all know they're not worth reading

[A] [D]

They're not worth reading.

FILL:

Instead of playing it down in drop D, I play it up on the D and G strings (very similar to how Dave Matthews plays his cover of Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away)

first play the D chord, then

g|---------2--|

d|-2--2h4----|

and repeat during the time where Jeff plays the fills.

Anyway, I play this version with a lot of palm muting and stacato picking to try and get some of the percussion into it. I play the chorus a little more open and play the open high e on the [D/B] chord. I think Jeff does on the Pacific DVD. So, it doesn't have as smooth of a feel as the drop D version does, but its different and it's at least correct. hope you enjoy.

this may be old news, so don't flame me if it is (i'm new around here)

but in regards to the studio version of The Thanks I Get, its available through the bonus material on the SBS cd now... i just popped mine in for the first time tonight and i'm under the impression they update and change the features, so maybe it wasnt there earlier?

anyway, if this is helpful then take it, if it's not... forget i even mentioned it

I dunno, I think I meant "immense" as in variety... but that was based on what I'd peiced together from reading about Jeff and his work. Maybe it's just as much of a musical evolution as any other band...I won't know until I listen to it all. I can't wait.

Try the VW commercial first.

haha i actually saw the VW commercial yesterday and it caught me way off guard

thanks for all the suggestions tho

Hello everyone,

First of all, I'd just like to say I'm happy I found this forum and community. But getting down to business, over the last few years I've been slowly loving Wilco more and more. It started with Heavy Metal Drummer and then I was off and on with YHF and AGIB. I always liked the band, but never realized how much until recently.

Anyway, I bought Tweedy's Live In The Pacific North-West DVD this past year as a kind of a platform to dive off of into his giant catalogue of music. Now don't get on my case about this, but I chose this because my love for the Dave Matthews Band began the same way (I don't know how everyone feels about Dave around these parts). I used the acoustic Live At Luther College to begin my adventure into his catalogue of music. Anyway, that worked for me, so I thought I'd do the same with Jeff. The only difference is that I've found out his musical tastes and albums go off in all sorts of different directions.

So anyway, I've got YHF, AGIB, Being There, Mermaid Ave (1 & 2), a couple songs off Summerteeth and a couple random live songs. I just picked up Sky Blue Sky and love it and I'm hoping to see the band sometime this summer, which I'm excited for.

So, basically, my question is can anyone point me in some sort of direction as of how to tackle his IMMENSE catalogue of music? Maybe a specific album or live show (I'm currently downloading Jeff's 2007-04-06 show)? Or should I just find my own way (which is what I did with Dave)? I know this is going to be a LONG process, but thankfully I'm highly looking forward to it and waiting to enjoy every second.

Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
