I pulled this tab from an archived site. Let me know if youd like the link. It's got quite a bit on it.

Nothing Up My Sleeve

Wilco-"Nothing Up My Sleeve" from the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot demos

 

The intro/verse chords go something like this:

e......3.......0.......0......3

B......3.......1......(1).....3

G......0.......0.......0.......0

D......0.......2.......1.......0

A......2.......3.......3.......2

E......3.......x.......x.......3

.......G.......C......Cm.....G

What I'm calling a Cm chord may not actually be a Cm, this just sounds closest to what Jeff's playing in my opinion.

 

(G)I won't ever cry for ©you

And (Cm)you won't ever shed tears for (G)me

There's nothing up my ©sleeve

That (Cm)you haven't already (G)seen

 

It's not that I don't ©care at all

(Em)We lost (D)touch so ©long ago

(B7)It may be our anni-©versary

But I..(Am)I wouldn't really (D)know

 

(Em)The phone won't ever (Am)ring

In the (D)middle of the (G)night

And if it ever ©does

I can (Cm)assure you it won't be (Em)me (G) © (Cm) (Em)

 

I'll find somebody new

And you might find somebody too

There's something up his sleeve

That you haven't already seen

 

It's not that I don't care anymore

We lost touch so long ago

It may be our anniversary

I wouldn't really know

 

My phone won't ever ring

In the middle of the night

And if it ever does

I can assure you it won't be me

 

G C Cm G during the whistling interlude

 

It's not that I don't care at all

We lost touch so long ago

It may be our anniversary

But I wouldn't really know

 

G C Cm G

I think those Ds may be D7s but I'd have to listen to it again...

I think I tabbed this in the heady days of 2007 when I was trying to get over an ex who was threatening to ruin Wilco for me. I had to wait for SBS before that happened. Anyhoo, here is my go (luckily I save everything):

Haha! In 2007, we used words like "funky" -- what a stupid, stupid time that was.

I realized that there's another way to play the funky chords that might be easier for some folks:

 

| Dbm7b5 | Cmaj7 | 
 
e---0----|---0---|
B---0----|---0---|
G---0----|---0---|
D---2----|---2---|
A---4----|---3---|
E--------|-------|
