  1. Wow!! Who is/was that?!?! My initial reaction to "Let's Fight" is similar to the first time I heard "Hell is Chrome." I like it, but... it doesn't sound like Wilco. That said, it does sound like Wilco (i.e., never the same sound twice). Great tune!!

  2. I was wrong....

     

    Alone (Wilco)

    This song hasn't been getting the love it deserves, so I'm gonna try to do it a little justice. Any corrections would be dandy (can't always be 100% sure about everything), and that damn lyric change about the book at the last pre-chorus I still can't figure out. Also during the chorus, sometimes I think I hear "a long lonely alone" instead of "alone, lonely, alone." I don't know which is right; what do you guys think? anyway, here y'are:

  3. I saw the chords for Alone aka Shakin Sugar a long time ago on the altcountrytab site (about the time YHF and Palace were released). The altcountrytab site has crashed a several times since then and I'm fairly certain that the new site doesn't have the old tab files from the old site. Perhaps someone has a link to the old files - I don't.

     

    Good Luck

  4. I was messing around w/ this song the other day and the first couple/few lines sounded like C and F chords.

     

    Anyway, here's the lyrics...

     

    The Thanks I Get

     

    Is that the thanks I get

    for lovin you

    Is that the thanks I get

    for tellin you the truth

    You say you wanna know

    Where I go when I go

    You say you wanna communicate

    But you don't hear a word I say

     

    Is that the thanks I get

    for lovin you

    Now I'm tired of the looks you give me

    when I get home late

    Getting tired of how you foget

    all the lovin things I say

     

    I treat you right

    I hold you tight

    Now everytime I go out and play

    why you think I'm leavin?

     

    Is that the thanks I get

    for lovin you

    Now babe (your trust is strong as _______?)

    That's okay but you must

    believe in our love, ohhhhhhhhhhh

     

    We can make it better(4x)

    let's pull ourselves together

    and start it again.

     

    I hold you tight

    You (talk to me tonight?)

    awwwwwwwwwww, I don't ever wanna fight again

    I think we're both crazy.

     

    But that's the thanks we get

    for fallin in love

    alright

    We can make it better(8x)

    let's pull oursleves together

    and start it again.
