Well, this is wrong. Just saw it on The Tonight Show.

Given the amount of time normally allotted for musical spots, I'm guessing it won't be anything too long.

Wilco did Art of Almost on Fallon before.

What I hear:

Wait for Love

G                                  Bm        Em

Honey, I'm worried the fire's cold    (fight's gone?)

      Bm       Em           Bm         D7

Our tired souls have lost their way  

G                                 Bm         Em

Stay woman, find a song, fade away

Bm         Em           Bm     D7

Alone and strange, out of range

(Chorus)

Am           D7          Am                D7

I've heard you say dreams don't matter

G                                               Bm   Em     

But it's why we hold on as the days pass

         Am  D7   G  

And wait for love

G Bm Em Bm Em Bm D7

G                                   Bm     Em

On and on waltz to the distant day

Bm        Em                   Bm              D7

Scatter parades as the sweet slips away

      Am         D7           Am           D7

Oh, I guess you'd  say we don't matter

     Em       A7           D7

And I bet that could be true

G                                           Bm           Em

But I still wanna look in your eyes and say

      Am  D7  G

I’ll wait for you

G Bm Em Bm Em Bm D7

G Bm Em Bm Em Bm D7

Am              D7           Am           D7

Oh, I guess you'd  say we don't matter 

Em         A7                 D7

And I bet that could be true

G                                            Bm    Em

But I still wanna look in your eyes today

        Am   D7  G

and wait  for love

G Bm Em

         Am  D7   G

...lets wait for love

Waltzes typically have a 3/4 time signature.

I think the above tab is spot on but I'm thinking it's in drop D. It would make more sense if you were playing the G that way.

It would be great to see a video of a performance of the song.

I have to say that I am honestly surprised at the negative and/or tepid reactions to this.

I enjoyed the (don't know if this is the correct term) double-tracking of the vocals, something I don't remember hearing since YHF.

I liked the simplicity of both the song and the video.

imo, just because the technology used to make the video might be "old" doesn't automatically make it bad or cheap. 

Wilco makes a lot of music using vintage equipment, why not do the same in making a video?

Sorry, don't mean to sound so defensive, I just liked it a lot.

Solitare.

Reading is a skill. Not until Monday.

What I hear:

Summer Noon

Capo 4

D                                          x20032

Summer noon I can always stay

     G                                       A

To radiate what the cello can play

        D                                             x20032

She spoke to me and provoked my band

          G                                               A

And I broke in two in the heat of her hand

            D                    x20032

Like a lioness or a coyote

                G                                       A

Met (?) a pink beating heart in the balcony

     D                                                     x20032

I followed the finger to the creature's gate

           G                                                 A

In the hub of where the pitiful congregate

      D                                                     x20032

I thought there was a note I could not hear

          G                                                      A

So I floated to the whisper up against my ear

D                                                    x20032

Afterwards I found my face in the trash

       G                                                     A

And really at the core of it, it wasn't so bad

D                                          x20032

Never leave your mother's womb

    G                                                      A                       D               x20032

Unless you want to see how hard a broken heart can swoon

   G                                                      A                       D        

Unless you want to see how hard a broken heart can swoon

Repeat

Well, that didn't take long.

I hear this

Capo 4

D x20032 G A

Four days to the White Sox opener! Weather is looking good. Well "better" is perhaps more accurate!

I am quite excited about this year's team.

Ralph Fiennes and Wes Anderson are such a natural match. It was a delightful hour and a half movie experience.

Looks like an Epiphone.

The Muppets got this one right:

Mystic Highway

Joy of My Life

Hot Rod Heart

 

These are all new tunes, I believe.  He totally rocks for his age.  Great guitar playing and his voice never changes.  He plays this gold Les Paul and totally rips it.  He told a funny story about playing after the Grateful Dead at Woodstock at 2:30am.  Apparently a lot of people were sitting/lying down and seemed to be falling asleep right when he hit the stage except for one guy way out in the crowd with his lighter going.  This was the inspiration for 'Long as I Can See the Light'

Joy of My Life and Hot Rod Heart came out in 1997. I glanced over Mystic Highway, which is new.

Nothing of his newer material.

My wife bought me a J-45 for my birthday last year. Such a great sounding guitar.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's projecting his own interpretation onto the song. I clearly remember reading the exact same thing about "I'll Fight" around the time W(TA) came out. In fact, I recall several early write-ups/previews of the album had "Conscript" as the song title -- in Rolling Stone, Billboard and Uncut, to name a few.

 

At any rate, like I said, the AGIB is about the only period I'd be interested in learning new stuff about, outside of what can be found in The Wilco Book and the abundance of interviews available online.

He did it to more than "I'll Fight." The A Ghost is Born chapter is a really good read.

Least favorite out of the 4 Sorkin shows.

I've read it all. He didn't interview the band and he pulls heavily from Learning How To Die. He takes parts of other interviews as well. He also gives his own versions of song meanings, which some are wrong. For instance, "The country tinge of ‘I’ll Fight’, with its plain-spoken declarations of love, would be entirely pleasant if one could just ignore the larger story being told, that of a soldier speaking to his girl back home, anticipating what her life will be like once he’s killed on the battlefield," which is wrong. I remember reading an interview the band gave with Relevant Magazine when Wilco (The Album) came out and Jeff explained that "I'll Fight" was originally from a 14 stanza poem he wrote called "Conscript," which is about a Civil War soldier who was paid to take the place of someone else in the war. I guess the problem I have is that if you are going to write a book and pass yourself off as an expert, do some damn research and get your facts right.

As far as A Ghost is Born, that chapter was interesting because he interviewed Chris Shaw, who engineered it, and Jim O'Rourke. That was probably my favorite chapter because there was new information.
