I can't quit listening to the bootleg of the 3/5/05 Vic show and my favorite song off of it is ELT. Here's a shot at the tab as it's different than what's on the web. Be sure to take note of the star notations I made. Any suggestions/changes are welcome!

 

ELT

by Wilco

Tabbed from the Tweedy Show in Chicago on 3-5-05*

 

Capo 2nd Fret

* - Walkdown the low E string (4th to 2nd fret)

** - Walkdown the A string (4th to 2nd fret)

*** - Hammer on and Pulloff

 

[*A]I should've been [D]listening

To every [**D]word you [E]said

[G]Oh, what I have I been [***D]missing

[A]Wishing that you were [D]dead

 

[*A]I didn't mean to be so [D]disturbing

[**D]So far from [E]home

[G]Oh, What have I been [***D]learning

[A]By being all [D]alone

 

[A]Every little thing

[Dm]Every Little thing

[A]Every little thing

[???]Just [Dm]tears you apart

 

Etc....

Instead of "[???]Just [Dm]tears you apart" try:

 

[bm]Just [D]tears you apart

It's like walking down the bass note of the chord to the next bass note, like you're playing a G chord and going to a E chord walkdown onto F sharp and then to the E chord.  hope that helped.

 

Please pretend I have no idea what you're talking about, and explain it to me slow...

I'll diagram the chords, maybe that would help.

 

G-chord

 

e -- 3

B -- 3

G -- 0

D -- 0

A -- 2

E -- 3

 

walkdown G to F#

 

e -- 3

B -- 3

G -- 0

D -- 0

A -- 2 (or 0, depending on how you want to play it)

E -- 2

 

G to E

 

e -- 3

B -- 3

G -- 0

D -- 0

A -- 2 (or 0 still)

E -- 0

 

E-chord

 

e -- 0

B -- 0

G -- 1

D -- 2

A -- 2

E -- 0

 

Hope that helps. :wave

Thanks! However, how does this fit into this particular song?

 

It doesn't actually. The concept is the same, however. For the 'Walkdown the low E string (4th to 2nd fret)' based on the A-chord you would play

 

e -- 0

B -- 2

G -- 2

D -- 2

A -- 0

E -- 4

 

then

 

same except for E -- 3

same, E -- 2

 

For the 'Walkdown the A string (4th to 2nd fret)' on the D-chord you'd play

 

e -- 2

B -- 3

G -- 2

D -- 0

A -- 4

E -- x

 

then

 

same, A -- 3

same, A -- 2

 

Once you know the concept you can apply it to all the different chords and make it sound all fancy-like. :yes

i was just checking out the performance of this on the DVD and it appears as if he's playing it like this:

(all barre chords)

 

[A]Every little thing

[Dm]Every little thing

[A]Every little thing is gonna[C#m]tear you[D]apart

 

[A]Every little thing

[Dm]Every little thing

[A]Every little thing is just gonna[bm]tear you[D]apart

 

:hmm you can see it at around 48:20 of the DVD

 

also the break chords are Dm, D, Dm, E
