Kalle Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ok well I've worked on this a little bit and I think I've got it. It's in Open G tuning and this tab is based around Jeff's October 27th 2006 solo show. Intro/Verse Riff d ------------------------------------------------------b --0-----0-----5-3p0--0-----0-----0-----0-----X---g --0-----0-----0-0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----X---d ------------------------------------------------------g 0----0-----0-------------0-----0-----0-------X-----d ------------------------------------------------------ Verse - This is just the three chords played the order is different. d ----------------------------------------------------------------------b ---0----0----0----0----5----5----5----5----10----10----10----10-g ---0----0----0----0----5----5----5----5----10----10----10----10-d ----------------------------------------------------------------------g 0----0----0----0----5----5----5----5----10----10----10----10----d ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Chorus type thing. d --------------------------------------------------------b ---3----3----3----4p3---3-------2---3p2---2-----1-g ---3----3----3----3------3-------2---2------2-----1-d --------------------------------------------------------g 3----3----3----3--------------2-----2------------1---d -------------------------------------------------------- Chorus - Dunno if this is perfect but this is what I got so far. d -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------b --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------g --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------d --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------g ---------------------------3----------------------------------0--0--0---------------------------d 2-------1-------1/5---3-5---5-3-5----2------1-----1/5---5--5--5--5----3------2-------1---- Riff 1 - Theres been much speculation over this riff. This is what I came up with this time. d --------------------------------------?b 5--5-3-0-0-0-0-0-5--5-3-0-0-0---?g 0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0---?d 0--0-0-------------0--0-0----------?g --------------------------------------?d --------------------------------------?

I haven't figured it out yet. Outro Riff d------------------------------------------b------------------------------------------g---0-2-2-0-------0-2-2-3-4-------------d-2----------2--1--------------------------g---------------------------------0---0---0d-------------------------------5---5---5--5 and for those of you who will like to hear this recording I put it up for you! p.s. This is one of my favourite Tweedy recordings that I have so I reccomend you guys get it off etree! http://www.sendspace.com/file/jeqbrx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Groo Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Nice job. I'll have to save this before the forum crashes again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bradrock Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 forgive my idiocy, when does he go down to the tenth fret during the verse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Right before the prechorus. The line "I was talkin' to my self" he goes from the C chord to the Eb chord. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joehock57 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 i am absolutely obsessed with this song. can someone upload a video of him playing it solo acoustic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 it's the 8th fret, not the 10th fret. 10th fret would be F, but I hear Eb, which means 8th fret. the "1st riff:" ----0-0- -5-50-0- -3-30-0- ----0-0- ----0-0- ----0-0- and etc. and on the second riff where you have the 8 stuff on the B it's a lot easier this way (and from looking at vids it seems that Tweedy does it this way too). D-5-353- B------0 And for when it gets hardcore, I'm only going to outline what he actually frets, because mapping out all the ringing open strings too (which are absolutely everywhere) would make it look like my computer exploded. ----------------------------------------12- -----0-3-6-0-6-8-6-0------0-3-6-0-6-8-6-12- -0-3-----5-0-5-7-5-0--0-3-----5-0-5-7-5-12- ----------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------- - Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BolivarBaLues Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 You guys have most of this down, but I've got just a few minor refinements and addtions. First, the piano intro: Since this is the piano part adapted for guitar, it's a little trick to pull of the first little hammer-on; you have to strike the b flat note (g string 3rd fret) first, and hammer-on to the b natural at the same time you pick the g note (d string, 5th fret). For the verse, the chords are G (two measures), C (2 measures), G (4 measures), C (2 measures), C minor (2 measures), Bb (2 measures), A (1 measure), Ab (1 measure). The pre-chorus above is essentially correct. The chorus (I guess that's what you call it; it's the "honey, I think you're just right" bit) is in a half-time feel - F (one measure), C/E (1 measure) and Ebmaj7 (hold for two measures). Here's how I voice these: F C/E Ebmaj7|------------------------|--10-----5-----8------|--10-----5-----7------|--10-----5-----8------|--8------7-----6------|----------------------- The fills during the verse (2nd time you go to G (4 measures)) are on lap steel, but you can pull off an approximation on guitar. First verse fill: Second verse fill: I didn't tab out the third verse fill; now that you know the gist of it, you can either improvise or figure it out on your own. The 2nd stop-time break tabbed out above is partially correct; the bit where you go up high is completely off. It's a bit tricky; there's two guitars going at once; one plays a more simplified version (similar to the one tabbed out at the top of this thread), and the other a trickier version with lots of hammer-ons an pull-offs. They happen so quickly that you really don't notice unless you listen closely; the 2nd guitar sort of masks the actual part, too. Execute those hammer-on and pull-offs quickly and smoothly and this bit will be a real gas. And finally, the coda: There's some octave lines that follow the descending chord progression (F, E, Eb, D), and sundry other improvisational riff-raff going on here. The final chord that holds at the end is an Eflat/G (or you might call it a Gaug), like this: |---------------|--4------------|--3------------|--1------------|- x------------|--3------------ This should be enough, along with the previous posts, to pull this one off convincingly.

anthony Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I really love the solo jeff version of this song. I am trying to get it under my fingers. Is this the best consensus for this? The last fella has it in standard; the first fella in Open G. There are lots of comments in the middle. Does anyone have a definitive version?? Thanks in advance!

Gobias Industries Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Tweedy does it in slack G, and it looks like BolivarBalues has more the piano stuff added in too...so I would say the first one. I think video proves it, for the most part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have not seen the video. Can anyone share it with me? Youtube has videos of Walken at Lolla. If you look at Tweedy closely you can see him just stick a finger across to bar the chords. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Ok, I think I assembled it all into one neat little package. Everyone take a look and let me know if there are any corrections. Walken - Wilco / JTOpen G Intro:G Fill [x2] Verse 1: G C G FillI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
