I'm the Man Who Loves You - Acoustic Guitar Magazine


Recommended Posts

It's a pretty sparse tab, I was much more excited until I actually saw it. I think I could have easily figured out what's in there.

rats! is it even supposed to be the way jeff plays it solo or just someone at the magazine's interpretation of the original song?

I hate when they have those half-assed tabs: Here's the chords and a couple of licks, now go to it.

I think it might just be there interpretation but I have not tried it with the album yet. It's really just 2 measures of the intro (capo on 1st fret) and 2 interpretations of a few riffs.

 

Let me save you the trouble:

 

E7, A7, B7, A

 

Then there's an F# on occasion.

 

It does say Words and Music by Jay Bennett so Jay did not get ignored.

Oops, Words and music by Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett. Subtle but important. Sorry :loser !

Let me save you all the trouble. I saw the zine in the store yesterday. It essetntially shows this riff:

 

(E) Riff:
e----------------------
B---00--3333--22--0----
G---11--1111--11--1----
D---22--2222--22--2----
A---22--2222--22--2----
E----------------------

 

or a slight variation thereof.

 

Then gives the chords:

 

(E) All I can see is black and white and white and pink with blades of blue
That lay between the words I think on a page I was meaning to send (A) you
I couldn't tell if it would bring my heart the way I wanted when I started
(E) Writing this letter to you
(B) But if I could you know I would just hold your hand and you'd understand
(A) I'm the man who (E) loves you

(E) All I can be is a busy bee of spinning wheels and hands that feel 
For stones to throw and feet that run but come back home
(A) It makes no difference ever known, makes no difference ever known (E) to me
(B) But if I could you know I would just hold your hand and you'd understand
(A) I'm the man who (E) loves you

E A E B F# A E 

(E) All I can see is black and white and white and pink with blades of blue
That lay between the words I think on a page I was meaning to send (A) you
I couldn't tell if it would bring my heart the way I wanted when I started
(E) Writing this letter to you
(B) But if I could you know I would just hold your hand and you'd understand
(F#) If I could you know I would just hold your hand and you'd understand
(A) If I could you know I would just hold your hand and you'd understand
I'm the man who (F#) loves you (A)

I'm the man who (F#) loves you (A)
I'm the man who (E) loves you

 

Nothing to get excited about (other than the fact that a major magazine mentioned the existence of our favorite band).
