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?

 

Here's what I found:

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 why

we (G#7) may not be perfect but (C#7) heaven knows we try

but (Amaj9) all around even our (Am7) old friends put us down

let'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

(B) 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!!!!!!
