Dude

I hear some people

been talkin' me down,

Bring up my name,

pass it 'round.

They don't mention

happy times

They do their thing,

I'll do mine.

Ooh baby,

that's hard to change

I can't tell them

how to feel.

Some get stoned,

some get strange,

But sooner or later

it all gets real.

Walk on, walk on,

Walk on, walk on.

I remember

the good old days,

Stayed up all night

gettin' crazed.

Then the money

was not so good,

But we still did

the best we could.

Ooh baby,

that's hard to change

I can't tell them

how to feel.

Some get stoned,

some get strange,

But sooner or later

it all gets real.

Walk on, walk on,

Walk on, walk on.

Good job and listening to it again I think you're probably right on the DADF#AD. One small correction on the Outro:

I think he's playing:

or maybe even x546xx on that fourth chord...

Close, but the capo's on 2, not on 3. (...on the Big Star original, it's on the 3rd fret.) Here's the rest of the tab I did a while back.

That's close to how I've been playing it lately, but with a little more action towards the beginning of the riff -

|-----3------3-2-2-3-3-3-------------0---------0-------------|

|-3----------3-2-2-3-3---------------------------------------|

You sort of do a slide from the 3x0003 to 2x0002 back to 3x0003 while strumming four quick consecutive chords.

The 1/2 slide you do with your middle finger - place it on the D string 1st fret, pluck it, then slide it to the 2nd fret, then move the rest of your fingers in place for the full C chord if that makes any sense.

Here's "The High Heat" rev 2:

She wants to die

Like people do.

Shower clicking,

Summer was sickening

In that room.

High in the heat.

A white, hot bee hive

Well she was doomed.

She has a wing

To proffer the sky.

She couldn't stop sinking,

She thought she wasn

I'm pretty sure that was the DADF#AD tuning - cos in the interview just recently posted here JT talks about that "Carpenter's feel" on CSI.

I think the C-tuning I've mentioned is for Poor Places...still can't work out how J is playing it, or what the tuning is EXACTLY, but I'm getting there

Ta.

sorry for falling asleep on this one.

He uses DADAAD on a few songs on YHF - Pot Kettle Black, Kamera (album version). Open D (DADF#AD) on Radio Cure. Poor Places may be open D down a step (CBCE#BC). I'll give the doc version a listen. I'm pretty sure Jay has a capo on 3 and plays it the "normal" way (G,D,Em,C,A7,C)...

Also open D5 (DADAAD).

Just saw this on Leno. Full band version is pretty much identical to what I have below.

I'm a Wheel - acoustic version

tabbed by: The Dude, also thanks to Yo La Tengo & WilcoFan

Drop D (DADGBE) then put a capo on the 2nd fret.

All finger positions in relation to the capo. Strum hard, esp. the lower two strings.

  Hold on, you run the risk of exciting me.
