One Wing

[tedrock]

From the version played at the Anchorage show.

 

We once belonged to a bird

Who cast it's shadow on this world

You were the best thing

And I was the curse

I did my best not to make things worse

for you

 

But is it true

I always knew this would be our fate

This is what happens when we separate

This happens to all dead weight eventually

 

We may as well be made of stone

We can't be phoned (?or "foam"?)

One way we'll never fight dear

Neither yours nor mine I fear

 

One wing

we'll never ever fight dear

Neither yours nor mine I feel

We can only wave goodbye

 

One wing

we'll never ever fight dear

neither yours nor mine I feel

we can only wave goodbye

Bye Bye

[Kalle]

Ok for chords so far much of the verses is just Am to Em and F. For the chorus type bits they throw in the odd G and C but I'm

not quite sure yet.

 

The little hook that I assume Nels plays is this, and yes a huge rip off of Losing My Religion:

 

e ----10/12-10-8---------------

b -------------------10----------

g ------------------------9-------

d --------------------------(10)--

 

Much of Nels' solo/lead bit is chromatically based.

 

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

b ---12-12-12-12-12b13-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-5---

 

 

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

b ----12-12-12-12-12-10-12-12-12-10-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-8-12-8-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---

 

The ending rock out is something based along this:

 

e ---9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---

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

 

Thats it for now, hopefully someone else will take over the reigns on this one until I have more time, hope you get the jist of it so far.

Just wanted to add a few corrections to the lyrics..most of it is right though

 

 

We once belonged to a bird

Cast a shadow on this world

You were a blessing and I was a curse

I did my best not to make things worse

For you

 

But is it true?

I always knew this would be our fate

This is what happens when wings separate

This happens to all deadweight

Eventually

 

We may as well be made of stone

We can
