Fatal Wound Chords

[brian0701]

Ok im gonna try to explain this the best way I can ive always played by ear , and have just recently started to try , and tab out a few things "mostly DBT stuff" .But the other day I stumbled onto the chords to Fatal Wound while listening to a Tweedy show I pulled off Rbally . Ive been playing the guitar for a long time , but ive never taken a lesson so there is two chord's that im not sure what the name of them would be , since you really just take a finger off the B string while in the A chord , and the other one you put you finger on the second fret low E (F#M) while taking a finger off the D string again in the A chord. Hopefully one of you will tell me the names of these chords. Since it's late im just gonna put a X where fingers should be , and you guys should be able to get it from there untill someone else corrects me on the names of the chords im missing. Edit: thanks Jhc

Ok another thing I dont understand about this board is that you see all these Wilco & Tweedy tribute compilations , and yet no one wants to share their way of playing the tunes . While I realize some are probably just using what they found on gumbopages , im sure others have learned the songs way more in depth . Bottom line is we need more people to tab stuff out over here .

You're right but you're also expecting a lot. There're a lot of obstacles to doing decent transcriptions above what's availbable on gumbopages (where tabs range from scarily accurate -- AM -- to scarily inaccurate -- just about everything else). First off, it just takes a lot of time and we all have jobs and lives outside of the forum. While I'd realy love to play and transcribe wilco songs all day, as I've pointed out many times, no one is paying me to do it (though, seriously, I would not accept payment for it -- mostly because doing so implies some guarantee of accuracy).

 

Second off, there are (from what it seems) a lot of really awesome guitarists here, but most everyone is just a beginning or intermediate guitarist just trying to learn songs and either don't have the skill to transcribe or are too embarrassed to put themselves out there yet (most often the case).

 

Third, since there are already a lot of resources available (gumbopages, the damn search function), it doesn't make sense to go about transcribing songs for which no one has a desire to learn. My requirements before I tab:

 

(1) I am hopelessly bored/depressed/lonely (pretty much a given)

(2) Some one makes some request for tab

(3) There are no other moderately decent resources already available (I'm not tabbing anything that people can find using the search function unless the tab they would find is tragically wrong -- i.e. playing it will result in bodily injury)

(4) No one else is doing anything about it or they're all hopelessly wrong (if everyone is offering tab, I generally will stay out of it)

 

Of course, these are not hard and fast rules. I might work on something that no one wants just because it amuses me. I just posted transcriptions of Let Me Come Home and Nothing Up My Sleeve, but these really aren't getting that much traction (beyond John and Cody who graciously tried to cheer me up -- thanks, guys), which shows the thanklessness of posting things people do not demand.

Good point, and I'm sure we all will welcome your future contributions

Are you trying to say that im bored/depressed/lonely ?

[ginandcigarettes]

No, I'm speaking about myself. I have no idea why anybody else does anything they do what with how hopelessly depressing and lonely the world is.

except there is a C# and it's probably bad form to have a sus chord with a 3rd in it, so my guess is Dmaj9/F#

you're right - god I'm depressed now

[ginandcigarettes]

If I can make just one person in the world depressed each day, I've done my job.

I can not, for the life of me, get the G in the gumbo pages tab to sound right (the one that begins the chorus, below)

 

G

And you wait around until

D(-3) A A? A A?

You've received that fatal wound

 

 

Is it even the right chord? Listening to the recording off of March 16 - 22, I can't figure it out.

 

If someone has a better acoustic version, I'd appreciate that, too. I really like the song, and I want to be able to play it better.

[Atticus]

there is no G chord in that song.

 

on the E (at "you wait around...") he starts with an E minor then shifts to E.

 

these are names that come up for that funky chord. I can't help with naming chords, but I can play the song...

 

F#m#5add12 F# Minor Sharp 5th Add 12th

F#m#5add5 F# Minor Sharp 5th Add 5th

DM7/F# D/F# Major 7th

[Betrarn]

That makes it play so much better. Thank you!
