Sunken Treasure (Being There Version0

[wilcofan87]

So I've searched the site, I've searched the internet. All I can find are tabs for the Jeff Tweedy solo version of Sunken Treasure. Does anyone know how the actual studio version is played? Thanks.

except that version is totally wrong

 

edit: I guess I better offer something more constructive. This is from relatively distant memory and I have no guitar here so there may be mistakes - let your ears guide you

 

drop D

 

--D riff--------G

 

 

e--------------(3)-

b--3--3-5-7---0--

g--2--2-4-6---0---

d--0--0-0-0---0---

a--0--0-0-0--(5)--

d--0--0-0-0--(5)--

 

notes in parentheses are optional - I usually just play the "free" G on the open strongs and it sounds good to my ears

 

then it's

 

I am [A] so... out of [bm] tune... with [G] you..... [G F#] [Em]

 

 

the rock out part goes like this (actually I wrote each chord as 4 8th note strums, it's really 8. = 1 bar)

 

 

----F5----------E5----------G5--------Eb5

e--------------------------------------------

b--------------------------------------------

g---------------------------------------------

d--3-3-3-3---2-2-2-2---5-5-5-5---1-1-1-1

a--3-3-3-3---2-2-2-2---5-5-5-5---1-1-1-1

d--3-3-3-3---2-2-2-2---5-5-5-5---1-1-1-1

Here's how I play it, I'd like to know what you guys think.

 

The verses consist of this line-

Gtr I (D A D G B E) - 'Untitled'

 Q=63
 D5		 Dmaj7		 Em7/G
4/4
 Gtr I
 E. S S S S  S  E. S Q	Q  E. S E. S E S  S
|-------------------5-5--|----0--0----0-0-0--0----|
|-3--3-3-3-5s=7--7--7-7--|----5--5----5-5-5--5----|
|-2--2-2-2-4s=6--6--6-6--|----7--7----7-7-7--7----|
|-0--0-0-0-0-(0)-0--0-0--|----0--0----0-0-0--0----|
|-0--0-0-0-0-(0)-0--0-0--|----x--x----x-x-x--x----|
|-0--0-0-0-0-(0)-0--0-0--|-5-------5----5-5--5----|

 

The chorus chords, without any reference to time since we all know the durations-

 

		  A/E			   Dadd11/F#			  Em7/G				 Em
  2 0 2 2 2 0		  4 x 0 0 x x		  5 x 0 7 5 0		  2 2 2 0 0 0

	  D5
  0 0 0 2 3 x

 

The walk-down from the Em7/G is 5-4-2 on your low-D.

 

Then, the interlude consists of these chords. Two disclaimers- 1. Chord names are just educated guesses because I honestly don't hear anything but root-fifths being played. For example, the Bm+5/F is just what I think the chord would sound like if more notes had been added. Since I'm making guesses, I'm also just basing the names off what would normally correspond to the D major Key signature that the song is in. 2. Since I don't hear anything but root-fifths being played, you can obviously make the chords bigger if you wish. It's up to the player. Anyway, here it is.

 

		 Bm+5/F			  Edim					G				   Eb
  3 2 x x x x		  2 1 x x x x		  5 5 x x x x		  1 1 x x x x

Thanks - I edited my post to fix some of the obvious errors

[groselicain]

No prob... what about the rest, though? Does anyone else play it the way I do, or am I just crazy and horribly mixed up about everything?

[Groo]

You're crazy, and no one wants to break it to you.

hey guys, this is all correct, but i think that there is a bass note played on the A string during the "D5 slide" part. i added it in here, tell me what you think.

I'm bumping this for the simple reason that I want to check it later when there's a guitar in my hands and am too lazy to use the search button again.

I just added this version to the Wiki, for future reference. Let me know if you have corrections. I would like to eventually add the lyrics w/ corresponding chord changes at some point.
