Poor Places on the YHF Demos


Recommended Posts

I know this is probably a stretch, but does anybdy know the piano intro of Poor Places on the YHF demos.

i've recently been obsessed with this version.

 

There's no piano onthe intro - are you talking about the outtro before all the noise?

There is piano, i'm talking about the YHF demo version (not the album or engineer demo versions)

 

sorry, I glossed right over the fact you were talking about the demo version :blush

Hows about the guitar from when Jeff and the band are playing it acoustically in the movie?

 

Guitar chords are probably available all over the place, no? I dont remember if they were doing anything different in the movie - I dont think so

I believe that's in open Bb (Tweedy calls it open C in the commentary, but it's open C tuned down a whole step). The chords are everywhere if you want to play it in standard tuning. I transcribed a bit of the open Bb before I got hopelessly sidetracked or people got massively uninterested (who is going to tune their guitar down to open Bb for 1 song?). Still, you can find the transcription somewhere here.

How do you tune to open Bb?

I don't know for sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I have a hunch it is. It's fun to play this one a bit up tempo...

Capo on 3rd fret

G					  D		   Em			  C		  A7	   C
It's my fathers' voice dreaming of sailors sailin' off in the mornin'
For the air-conditioned rooms at the top of the stairs
His jaw's been broken, his bandage is wrapped too tight
His fangs have been pulled and I really wanna see you tonight

There's bourbon on the breath of the singer you love so much
He takes all his words from the books that you don't read anyway
His jaw's been broken, his bandage is wrapped too tight
His fangs have been pulled and I really wanna see you tonight

Someone ties a bow in my backyard to show me love
My voice is climbin' walls, smoking, and I want love
My jaw's been broken, my heart is wrapped in ice
My fangs have been pulled and I really wanna see you tonight

G	  D		Em			G7
And it makes no difference to me
C		Am7sus4   G		   A
How they cried all over on the seas
	  C		  Cm			G
When it's hot in the poor places tonight
Eb	  C		G
I'm not goin' outside

They cried all over on the seas
And it makes no difference to me
And it's hot in the poor places tonight (Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot)
I'm not goin' outside (Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot)

And it's hot in the poor places tonight (Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot)
I'm not goin' outside (Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot)
I'm not goin' outside (Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot)
I'm not goin' outside (Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot)

Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot
Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot
Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot
Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot
Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot
Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot
Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot
Yan-kee Ho-tel Fox-trot
Yan-kee Ho-tel--


Am7sus4 = x00013

No, that's not it Groo. The one off the demos is like an upbeat piano song that's really fun and awesome. The one you posted is the YHF release.

 

Unfortunately, it's hard to find piano tabs on the internet :(

 

Piano tabs, whoops, sorry. But couldn't you try playing those chords on the piano anyway (just raise everything up 1.5 steps...)?

It's not the same. The piano isn't just chords, it's like a melody thing. Hard to explain... here, I uploaded it for you (Assuming this is legal since the song is unreleased)

Should be an enjoyable experience, even if you can't figure out the chords.

 

Oh, I recognize it now. Good luck on that one, lol. Whether or not Jay Bennett was a dick, he was a monster on the keys.
