    (Bm) Of anything (Dm) that I've (A) done (Dm)

     

    The second Dm is the part on the record where you here two claps. But instead of clapping (obviously hard to do while playing the guitar) you play that Dm in the same rhythm. (Here) is a video where you can see it pretty well. Hope that helped.

    Tweedy also played a solo version of Sunloathe this year at the Vic. But I'm not sure if that really counts... I mean if I had been there it would count but I wasn't... So it doesn't. Either way I'm stumped by why they didn't play and songs from W(TA) for seven shows. There must be a reason. One of the great mysteries of life I guess...

    Without being there I also have a sneaking suspicion your tweedy sarcasm-meter wasn't on at the time

     

    My tweedy sarcasm meter was on... he was being serious.

    And again this is just what we heard, I have no idea why it was like that. My guess is that it is similar to when Conan O'Brien was off air for a year and was contracted to not appear on television for a full year. Obviously not the same, but similar. If someone can give me more evidence to a better reason why they would avoid this album entirely (and saying it is their worst album doesn't count because if you have read any interview with the band ever you would know that they like W(TA) a lot more than some of you do) I'm all ears.

     

    That being said... I'm really confused why this album gets hated on so much. Maybe I'm alone when I say that I think every Wilco song is really good but I think W(TA) has some of there best songs. Every time I listen to it I find my self surprised by how much people hate it.

    And I really don't understand why people bring that hate on this website. I dislike coming on here and reading things that people post that are only negative towards the band. And it's not that negative criticism is bad, I just view this as a place to commonly love this unifying thing not hate on it. This is a Wilco forum. If you don't like, don't listen to it, and don't complain about it.

    My friend and I attended the first 5 shows of the summer tour. After five sound checks and four shows with songs ranging from every album (and even a cover of the theme song to "That 70's Show" sung by John in the Missoula sound check) except Wilco (The Album) we decided to take matters into our own hands. We wrote a not reading "Wilco (The Album)...?" and sat at the front right where Jeff could see us. He saw the sign and said (out of the microphone so I don't think anyone else heard it) "It's contractual. We don't have time to explain." I figured this meant that since they switched record labels they have entered a period in which a contract is restricting them from playing songs off that album for a few months. I have no idea but this is my best guess as to why the songs have not been appearing... makes the most sense too. Wilco would never leave an album out for seven shows unless they had to.

    I just saw the band play this live last night and was right in front of Jeff. It seems to be 100% accurate except for the part after he goes 'OH OH!' the chords in there change a round a little bit. But other than that this tab sounds good to me.

    First of I threw this together pretty quick because I'm lazy so if this makes no sense let me know and I'll put more time into it.

    So it is tuned to DADADD and the whole thing is basically going in between these chords:

     

    D9 - 000320

     

    D - 000540

     

    Dsus2? - 000750

     

    D2 (it really is just D but for tabbing purposes we will call it D2) - 000970

     

     

    Intro -

     

    ---------------0----

    ---------------2----

    ---------------3----

    ---------------0----

    ---------------0----

    -0-2s4-0----0----

     

    Play that twice and you kind of strum back and forth between the D9 chord and the sliding on the low D, if you listen you can hear it.

     

    Then the main part of the solo is

     

    D2 Dsus2 D x 2

     

    D2 Dsus2 D D9 D (This is the part where he strums really fast) D2 Dsus2 D D9

     

    The rest of this is just shifting in-between the chords whatever sounds right to you. No two versions of this song are the same so the middle stuff is hard to tab out. I hope this helped. If you want further clarification or have questions just let me know. What a great song!

    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.

    This is what I've got, couldn't figure out the instrumental at the end... let me know if you think this is more accurate or any changes that should be made. Thanks!

    I wonder when it will pop in the snow

     

    D9 D6

    The melody's a mistake

    D9 D9/A

    Embrace at the wake

    D9 D9/A G4

    How long does it take for us to know

     

    D9 D6

    Want a weight that's been blown

    D9 D9/A

    For something unknown

    D9 D9/A G4

    Buried under a mountain of snow

     

    D9 D6

    Found a fix for the fits

    D9 D9/A

    Come listen to this

    D9 D9/A G4

    As intimate as a kiss over a phone
