southern hotel foxtrot Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 oh come on...i know somebody knows this....I believe its in an alternate tuning...I just don't know which one.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kamera Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Are you referring to the Dylan tune? You might give this a try (It's from a Dylan tab site) http://dylanchords.info/ Capo 4 C F Csus4 CWhat good am I if I'm like all the rest C F C F CIf I just turn away when I see how you're dressed Am EmIf I shut myself off so I can't hear you cryF C F CWhat good am I ? What good am I if I know and don't doIf I see and don't say if I look right through youIf I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' skyWhat good am I ? What good am I while you softly weepAnd I hear in my head what you say in your sleepAnd I freeze in the moment like the rest who don't tryWhat good am I ? AmWhat good am I then to others and me EmIf I've had every chance and yet still fail to see Am /d (n.c.) AmIf my hands are tied must I not wonder within Em DmWho tied them and why and where must I have been.What good am I if I say foolish thingsAnd I laugh in the face of what sorrow bringsAnd I just turn my back while you silently dieWhat good am I ?

froggie Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 i think they're referring to the tune on the Wilco book CD. i dont know the chords though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southern hotel foxtrot Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 yes I am referring to the Wilco book cd....Why in the hell would I go to a wilco message board and ask tabs for a bob dylan song.....Are you that ignorant about Wilco's songs?, or are you being a smartass?

Copping a bitchy attitude and calling people ignorant probably isn't going to help your cause with getting someone to tab this out for you...Just a heads up. It takes time for someone to figure it out and tab it. It's not a very popular tune and, if someone already has it tabbed out, I'd be truly surprised. Give 'em some time.

I was going to try and help out but saw that post (and the impatient 2nd post) and changed my mind. I love helping out but not when people act like jerks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southern hotel foxtrot Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm sorry folks if I offended anyone...I actually thought the guy was being sarcastic to me....If you look on my history, you'll see that I've asked about this song a couple of times...I guess it was just frustration on my part...which was wrong....

Groo Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 If it's any help, I'm a really nice guy, and I would really like to see this song tabbed out. Toodles . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southern hotel foxtrot Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 I said I was sorry...can't somebody tab this song out...its not like its real hard....if i knew which capo he frets I could probably do it myself but i know there are people on here that has a better ear for things like that than me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Groo Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Can anyone at least post the chords? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southern hotel foxtrot Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 I guess not.... well that sucks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southern hotel foxtrot Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Alright Goo, I think I figured out the main chords for the song I believe it goes Bm to A back to Bm to an Em standard tuning....like this Bm A Bm EmWhat Good Am I...... and so forth... any corrections or clarifications are welcome....

GtrPlyr Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I've listened to this a couple times and I think it sorta goes like this: E--------------------------------------------------------B----4---------------2-----------------0----------0-----G--------4---------------1-----------------1---1-------D-----------4---------------2------1-------------------A----2---------------0-------------2-------------------E------------------------------------------------0------- Chords: B - x2444xAmaj7 - x02120G#m - x2110x (or alternately) B - 7644xxE - 022100 Hope that helps out somewhat.

Guest Speed Racer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I always thought he said "blind woman in advertising," but your interpretation makes SO much more sense! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Groo Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I always thought he said "blind woman in advertising," but your interpretation makes SO much more sense! I thought that too, until I listened real close to the lyrics. Either that, or I stole those lyrics from someplace, else, I can't can't remember. Either way, "blind women in advertising" is a much better line . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
