I took a quick stab at this. Im positive its incorrect, but it "works". And I have no idea if the chord names are correct. Any and all corrections are welcome. I really like this song

Whisper

B         224442

We’re gonna love each other
There’s nothing that you can do
We’re gonna march in the streets
And kiss every cop
And lick every open wound

I’m gonna sing to your broken children
Punch it right into your face
I’m gonna wrap my arms around your confusion
And hold you like an empty space

’Cause there’s right
And then there’s wrong
There’s you
And there’s this song

It’s a whisper
Just a whisper
Not a pistol up against your ear
Not a dream
I believe
It’s just a whisper
Just something that I wanted you to hear

I’m gonna list everything I know
Whatever wisdom I’ve retained
Gonna heave it all into your heart
Gonna breath it right into your brain

Oh, there’s time
But it won’t be long
Oh, it’s fine
But it’d be better if you sang along
So sing along

To the whisper
It’s just a whisper
Not a pistol up against your ear
Not a dream
I believe
It’s just a whisper
Just something that I wanted you to hear

Anyone start chords chart for Many Worlds yet?

Many Worlds

When I look at the sky
I think of all the stars that have died
Many worlds collide
None like yours and mine
No, not like yours and mine
And I always cry

When I look at the sky

No, not like yours and mine
Not like yours and mine
And I always cry

When I look at the sky
I know I’m not the only one
Alive
I know I’m not the only one

Looking up at the sky

None like yours and mine
No, not like yours and mine
Not like yours and mine

Great, Thank you!

Anyone have any new updates for LisK tabs/chords. I am not good at figuring chords out.

Admin notation: Sorry, but we can't allow the posting of videos of Jeff and/or Wilco. I've had to remove this video link.

From VC's Rules and Regulations:

Sometime's It Happens - Brian Patten

[G]Sometimes it happens [Am]that you are friends

And then you are [G]not friends

[Am]When friendship has passed

[bm]Whole days are lost

And a [Am]fountain [D]empties itself into the [G]grass

Sometimes it happens [Am]that you're in love

And then you are you're not thought off

When love is past

Whole days are lost

And among them a [D]fountain [Em]empties itself... into the [D]grass

[F#]Sometimes you want to [G*]speak to her and then

[Fsus4]You do not [C#m]want to speak

[D]And then the opportunity has [Em]passed

Your [bm7]dreams flare [??????]up, they [Cdim7]suddenly [D3]vanish[D*]

[G]And also happens, [Am]there is nowhere to go

And then there is [G]somewhere to go

[Am]Then you have bypassed

[bm]Years flare up and are [Am]gone, [D]quicker than a [G]minute

So you have[D] nothing

You [G]wonder if these things [Am]matter and then...

They cease to [G]matter

[Am]And caring is past

[bm]And a fountain [Am]empties itself, [D]into the grass[G] [D] [G]

You Are Not Alone - Mavis Staples (Jeff Tweedy)

You're not alone, I'm with you, I'm goin' there too

What's that song, can't be sung... by two?

A broken home, a broken heart

Isolated and afraid

Open up this is a raid

I wanna get it through to you

You're not alone

You're not alone, every night, I stand in your place

Every tear, on every face, tastes the same

A broken dream, a broken heart

Isolated and afraid

Open up this is a raid

I'm gonna get it through to you

You're not alone

An open hand, an open heart

There's no need to be afraid

Open up this is a raid

I wanna get it through to you

You're not alone

I wanna get it through to you

You're not alone

I'm gonna get it through to you

You're not alone

Can anyone help with the chords to "Broken Heart", lyrics and link posted below.

Ok I "think" I have figured this out. If anyone can improve, please post reply. Thanks

Broken Heart - Skip Spence (Wilco w Feist)

Broken Heart - Skip Spence (Wilco w Feist)

Dm7 = 000231

Cmaj9 = 020010

A [C]broken heart would be lovely

[F]Broken on the [C]ground

A knife stuck in the ribs of me

Would [Dm7]be better be [F]found

[C]Hanging tree blowing gently

A [F]noose would be ig[C]nored

Then to [C]stand [Cmaj9]upon the re[Am]ceiving [G]end

Of the [F]right hand [G]of the [C]Lord

[G]Like a thirsty [D]cowboy

In a [F]lake his tongue does [C]rest

Jumps[G] in and he [D]can not swim

And [F]drowns himself to [C]death

[G]Or a frozen [D]mountaineer

He [F]chugs up to a stop

Catching his [Cmaj9]boot heel [Am]in a [G]rock

[F]Two miles [G]from the [C]top

An Olympic super swimmer

Whose belly does not flop

A super racecar driver

Whose pit it can't be stopped

A honey dripping hipster

Whose bee cannot be bopped

Better to be rolled in oats

Than from the roll be dropped

A broken heart would satisfy

Broken in a mess

A severed eye would gratify

My soul I must confess

I'd rather have no eyes at all

Be blind upon the floor

Then to stand upon the receiving end

Of the right hand of the Lord

Then to stand upon the receiving end

Of the right hand of the Lord

Does anyone have the chords to Golden Smogs song V? I just can't figure it out and it's such a great tune.

Below is from the sadly, long-gone altcountrytab.com. Oh i miss that site. (http://web.archive.org/web/20030424062457/altcountrytab.com/golden_smog/gs-v.htm)

I've got two versions of this... basically the same chords. The first is my own attempt, the second is another version I've found. The interpretation of the lyrics is a bit different. Not sure which is correct, as I'm English I find the American accents a little difficult. But I've listened again and I still think my lyrics are quite close... anyway make up your own mind

chords by Warren Owen ( wozza@altcountrytab.com )

Intro - F G C

Verse 1

Am D

When I was down she was full of advice,

G C

cause she'd been there once or twice,

F C

with a ring on the side of her nose,

F C

wearing other people's clothes.

Am D

She'd had her highs and she'd had her lows,

G C

but in between she show-oh-ed,

F C

when she smiled everything else died,

F G

the feeling of good vibes

Chorus

{Piano Bit - Guitar sounds like a D A7 F G chord sequence }

F

As if in a dream,

G Am

The one and only V,

F

As if in a dream,

G C

The one and only V.

Verse 3

Buying shots and breaking hearts,

She used to wait on us down at the bar,

Never took as much as she gave,

still giving to this day.

Staying up half the night

Mood swings, yeah we cried.

On a cold December day,

Vera went away.

Repeat Chorus

Harmonica Solo

Staying up half the night

Mood swings, yeah we cried.

On a cold December day,

Vera went away.

Has anyone transcribed chords for Jay Bennett's - I'll Decorate My Love?

Edit... Ok, I took a stab at this, please let me know how poorly I did, but making any corrections!

I’ll Decorate My Love – Jay Bennett

Intro: G F

[C]I’ll decorate my [F]love for you with [G]questions

You’ll [C]decorate your [F]love for me with [G]pain

And [C]there will be no [F]profit in [G]protection

Even [Dm7]when you are walking [F]miles in the [G]rain

And I will curse the day that I first met you

And you will curse the day I lost control

And there will be no reward for your actions

Even when your trying to say, you love her so

[Dm7]So whisper [F]whatever and [G]all that I will [C]see

Is you where [Dm7]down before [F]me[G]

[Dm7]So shout or what[F]ever, and [G]all that I will [C]see

Is you’re in [Dm7]love without me[F][G]

If I can’t win, you know that I’ll try dying

If you can’t win, you’ll settle for a tie

We both can’t win, there’s no point in pretending

And there’s no point in waiting for me to cry

So whisper whatever and all that I will see

Is you where down before me

So shout or whatever, cause one thing is for sure

You where here before her

So whisper whatever and all that I will see

Is you where down before me

So whisper whatever and all that I will see

Is you where down before me

The best place to get a quick bite and a beer is a bit of a dive called The Waterford. It's right next to Tower on Ludlow street. Great place for some pre-show suds. Less than a minute walk right to your seats in the theater when it's time to head in.

I believe The Waterford has been closed down. I wouldnt go there

On a side note, What do you think the chances are of getting a ticket at the show? I live close by, I am ticketless and want to go

The BEST cover by anyone, of anyone (for me) is, with out doubt...

Bruce Springsteen's 2-5-75 cover of, "I Want You"

Angel Eyes

Frank Sinatra

Writen by: Dennis/Brent

Hey drink up all you people

And Order anything you see have fun you happy people

The drink and the laughs on me

Try to think that love's not around

Still it's uncomfortably near

My old heart ain't gaining any ground

Because my angel eyes ain't here

Angel eyes, that old Devil sent

They glow unbearably bright

Need I say that my love's mispent

Mispent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all of you people

Order anything you see

And have fun you happy people

The drink and the laughs on me

Pardon me but I got to run

The fact's uncommonly clear

I got to find who's now the number one

And why my angel eyes ain't here

Excuse me while I disappear

For Mama

Ray Charles

She said,

PATCHES

Clarence Carter

I was born and raised down in Alabama

On a farm way back up in the woods

I was so ragged that folks used to call me Patches

Papa used to tease me about it

'Cause deep down inside he was hurt

'Cause he'd done all he could

My papa was a great old man

I can see him with a shovel in his hands, see

Education he never had

He did wonders when the times got bad

The little money from the crops he raised

Barely paid the bills we made

For, life had kick him down to the ground

When he tried to get up

Life would kick him back down

One day Papa called me to his dyin' bed

Put his hands on my shoulders

And in his tears he said

He said, Patches

I'm dependin' on you, son

To pull the family through

My son, it's all left up to you

Two days later Papa passed away, and

I became a man that day

So I told Mama I was gonna quit school, but

She said that was Daddy's strictest rule

So ev'ry mornin' 'fore I went to school

I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too

Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on

I wanted to leave, just run away from home

But I would remember what my daddy said

With tears in his eyes on his dyin' bed

He said, Patches

I'm dependin' on you, son

I tried to do my best

It's up to you to do the rest

Then one day a strong rain came

And washed all the crops away

And at the age of 13 I thought

I was carryin' the weight of the

Whole world on my shoulders

And you know, Mama knew

What I was goin' through, 'cause

Ev'ry day I had to work the fields

'Cause that's the only way we got our meals

You see, I was the oldest of the family

And ev'rybody else depended on me

Ev'ry night I heard my Mama pray

Lord, give him the strength to face another day

So years have passed and all the kids are grown

The angels took Mama to a brand new home

Lord knows, people, I shedded tears

But my daddy's voice kept me through the years

Sing

Patches, I'm dependin' on you, son

To pull the family through

My son, it's all left up to you

Oh, I can still hear Papa's voice sayin'

Patches, I'm dependin' on you, son

I've tried to do my best

It's up to you to do the rest

I can still hear Papa, what he said

Patches...

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE

(Pete Seeger)

Where have all the flowers gone?

Long time passing.

Where have all the flowers gone?

Long time ago.

Where have all the flowers gone?

The girls have picked them ev'ry one.

Oh, When will you ever learn?

Oh, When will you ever learn?

young girls

They've taken husbands ev'ry one.

young men

They're all in uniform.

soldiers

They've gone to graveyards ev'ry one.

graveyards

They're covered with flowers ev'ry one.

flowers

Young girls have picked them ev'ry one.

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Yes...

I can't believe the news today

Oh, I can't close my eyes

And make it go away

How long...

How long must we sing this song

How long, how long...

'cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

Broken bottles under children's feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end street

But I won't heed the battle call

It puts my back up

Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun

There's many lost, but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters

Torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long...

How long must we sing this song

How long, how long...

'cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...tonight...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

And it's true we are immune

When fact is fiction and TV reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun

To claim the victory Jesus won

On...

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday...

Song: I Am A Patriot

And the river opens for the righteous, someday

I was walking with my brother

And he wondered what was on my mind

I said what I believe in my soul

It ain't what I see with my eyes

And we can't turn our backs this time

I am a patriot and I love my country

Because my country is all I know

I want to be with my family

With people who understand me

I got nowhere else to go

I am a patriot

And the river opens for the righteous, someday

I was talking with my sister

She looked so fine

I said baby what's on your mind

She said I want to run like the lion

Released from the cages

Released from the rages

Burning in my heart tonight

I am a patriot and I love my country

Because my country is all I know

And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no capitalist

And I ain't no socialist

and I sure ain't no imperialist

And I ain't no democrat

And I ain't no republican either

And I only know one party

and its name is freedom

I am a patriot

And the river opens for the righteous, someday
