Guest Bart Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Anybody have the chords for Political Science from 2-23-05? I found a Randy Newman version, but it seems like it's in a different key than what Wilco did...........or maybe my guitar (or ears) are just horribly out of tune?

pianoblood Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 hey -- i don't have much time to write it out, so i'll just kinda get you started, and someone (or i) can take it from there. randy newman does this one in Eb. the wilco version i played along to seemed to be in E. i'm not sure if they actually do it in E, if the recording is slightly off or (more than likely) my piano is out of tune. anyway (E) no one likes us i (E+) don't know whywe (G#7) may not be perfect but (C#7) heaven knows we trybut (Amaj9) all around even our (Am7) old friends put us downlet's (E) drop the big one and (B7#5) see what (B13) happens. etc. etc. in Eb, the chords would be Eb, Eb+, G7, C7, Abmaj9, Abm7, Eb, Bb7#5,Bb13. lots of annoying piano chords that don't always translate easily to guitar. for the break, it's (A) we'll save austra (E) lia (A) don't wanna hurt no kangaroo (E)(A) we'll build an all american (E) amusement park there( they got surfin' too (all the A, E, and B chords are flat if you play it the other way) i know this is incomplete, but if you want, i could map it out better over the weekend. good luck. p.s. i'm still looking for a drummer. somebody help me please!!!!!!

pianoblood Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 one ammendment: somehow, when i typed in the B in the bridge, it turned into a smile face with sunglasses on it. the smile face with sunglasses is a B chord. later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dashseven Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 If you just Capo @ 4 and use the chords from the original post, it is in E and sounds quite good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
