Quiet Amplifier

So for this song Jeff stated that he tuned his guitar to C#G#C#G#G#C# for this song (https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/jeff-tweedy-and-nels-cline-on-how-cheapo-guitars-and-rubber-bridges-helped-them-find-happiness-on-ode-to-joy)

 

The chords I hear throughout are C# and D#m so I guess just fingerpick to your heart's content throughout.

Things I've done:

Capo 1 and play C and Dm

Tune 1/2 step down to C# G# C# F# A# D# (Like a Drop D tuned down a 1/2 step) and play D and Em (222000)

 

 

Intro C#

 

C#

I wish your world was mine
     D#m                           C#                                

I wish your world was mine
 

Rails spun along the wires

   D#m                           C#

Home, ain't no trains gonna come
 

I have waited my whole life
    D#m                           C#                

I tried, in my way, to love everyone

 

C#

 

I wish your world was mine
   D#m                           C#           

I wish your world was mine
 

I have a quiet amplifier
D#m                         C#

Silence sings more true
 

Every guitar is denied
   D#m                          C#

I tried, in my way, to love you

  

C#

 

I wish your world was mine
D#m                             C#

I wish your world was mine
 

I wouldn't mind feeling fine
D#m                              C#

I wish your world was mine

 

C#

 

If only your world was mine
D#m                              C#

If only your world was mine
 

Shattered the stars would shine
D#m                               C#

Shy little flower on the vine
