  2. And Liam Cunningham is part of the recently disbanded Kids These Days. Didn't Jeff produce something with them?

    Liam is a kick ass musician who has a new band named Marrow. They've only released a two song EP but I saw them live at Shuba's and they killed it. One of the best shows I've ever seen. If you're interested you can find both of their songs in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eNITD0v6pg. I recommend it, I can certainly here a wilco influence. 

  3. Here is the tab to one of the Jeff Tweedy penned songs from the new Mavis Staples record. Great song. Hope you find it correct.

    I thread my tongue through the horn

    Arm in arm in arm we are born

    Arm in arm to the end

     

    Chorus x1

    To see you again

     

    Chorus x1

    Oh I don’t want to

  4. With the One True Vine about to come out I've been trying to figure it out. One the Mavis record it sounds like Jeff is play without a capo but here is what I have...

     

    With a capo on 4 it seems the verses work like this but I'm having trouble with the chorus. Here are my notes but all correction are welcome seeing as I'm not even close to sure if this is right.

     

    One True Vine

    Capo 4

     

    e------------

    B------------

    G-----0--0--

    D-0-2--2---- : Into a C chord

    A-----------

    E-----------

    C G

    I was last in line

    C G

    For the one true vine

    Em D G

    Endless winding prayer

    C G

    I was dead at first

    C G

    I had done my worst

    Em D G

    Ooooh and you came to me

     

    (here is where I get lost, some of these sound okay. Obviously the question marks are where I need some help...)

     

    Bm Am

    Life had ceased

    G Bm

    I was lost and tired

    ? ?

    You set me free

    ? C

    From this mighty, mighty fire

    D G C D

    Just in time to be

    C G

    My one true vine

     

    (and repeat for the verse and chorus)

  5. Here it is. I think I got most of it figured out from watching this video from one of the recent vic shows (

    ). The solo section I'm not really sure about, but what I have sounds... okay I guess. Either way it's a great song.

     

    Wherever

    Strd Tuning

     

    G C x 3

     

    C G Bm C

    When you get back from wherever

    C G Bm C

    Let me know what its like

    C G Bm C

    And I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you

    C G Bm C

    What its like to watch you go

     

    G C x 3

     

    C G Bm C

    You say, “Hey, what’s that mean”

    C G Bm C

    Don’t Make it sound so simple

    C G Bm C

    And you say, “Hey, what’s that mean”

    C G Bm C Em

    Don’t Make it sound so simple

     

    C G

    So don’t even try

    Bm C

    ‘Cuz this is your day

    C G Bm C

    Even the sky might go your way

    C G Bm C

    You know I’ll get by, just bein’ okay

    C G Bm C

    Who could deny, that this is your day

     

    G

     

    The chords in the little solo section I think go something like this...

    G A11 Eb7/B (repeat a couple times at different speeds)

     

    C G Bm C

    When you get back from, who cares

    C G Bm C

    I’d really

    C G Bm C

    When you get back from, wherever

    C G Bm C Em

    Be sure let me know

     

    A11 - 540007

    Eb7/B - 76000(10)

  6. This thread made me start requesting this song for the Hollywood Bowl. I'm aware it's an impossibility, but it would be kick butt.

     

    There are not enough pretty words to portray my love for this song.

    I saw them play it and lincoln hall this year... so not impossible. Great song and better with the whole band.
