Off the old buildings downtown empty so long ago
Cmaj7			 Bm			Em
Windows broken and dreaming
Am			  C				 G
So happy to leave what was my home
D7							Cdim

Oh I didnt die I should be satisfied
Em						Am
I survived, its good enough for now

It definitely sounds like capo 5 to me, but sure.

 

 

Yeah, me too! I've been playing this song endlessly since the transciption chisoxjtrain, thanks.

Oh, and I think he says 'dreaming' instead of training...

I think this lyric is correct "Oh the band marched on in formation"

 

But he definetly says "drunks" in the above posted audio clip from Milwaukee.

 

Though I just listened to the audio from the Zamboni Man and he says "drums" there.

 

"drums" obviously sounds more on subject. As we've seen with "What Light", I think Jeff substitutes lyrics alot.

 

I guess we'll have to wait for the album to see what "Official".

I also hear "drainin'" instead of "dreamin'"

 

Chord fixes, after playing it through:

 

G					Em/F#	 Em
Oh the band marched on in formation
Am				   Am/G   <D/F#>
The brass was phasing tunes i couldnt place
Cmaj7					  Bm	  Em  
Windows open and <it was rainin'>
Am				 <C>			  <G>
Maroon, yellow, blue, <silver> and gray

It is drunks. Maybe a reference to the little dive bar the Ricochet in Lincoln Square. Typical of Jeff to substitute sound alike words to bring a across different meaning or two.

 

Nice work on the Tab Kid!!!!

I kept the tab inside Capo 5 because it's easier that way and that's the way I hear Nels play it on the record. Hope you enjoy.

I assume this is all sans capo, ie 5=5th fret, and not 10th fret?

 

I realized I had most of it down, but in the wrong order. Thanks!
