muzzle of bees live solo acoustic

[Guest mse16]

capo on 5th

i like the live lyrics better

 

A G D

there's a random painted highway

and a muzzle of bees

 

A G D

my sleeve's have come unstitched

from climbin' your trees

 

A

and the green gets passed from tree to tree

Em G D

silently and back to me

 

A

with the breeze blown through

pushed up against the sea

Em G D

and finally back to me

 

G

some dogs bark i say they're laughing

D

i don't think they're mean

 

G

some people get so frightened

D

of the fences in between

 

A

and the sun gets passed from sea to sea

Em G D

silently and back to me

 

A

with the breeze blown through restin' my head on your

Em

sleeve

G D

and finally back to me

 

G

i'm assuming you got my message

D

i tried to come clean

 

G

i'm assuming you still love

D

and you know what that means

 

A

the green gets passed from sea to sea

Em G D

silently and back to me

 

A

with the breeze blown through

Em G D

resting against your sleeve

finally back to me

Set!

 

While I'm at it, does anyone know the fingerpicking deal?

It's an easy little riff on the high E and B strings:

 

e----2--0----2p0--0-----|---0h2-----0h2p0-----0

B----3-----2----------2--|----------2----------2---

G----2--------------------|--------------------------

D----0--------------------|--------------------------

 

On the last open high e you can hammer on 2 to change things up if you want.

What version is this (in post #1)?

thanks for that. for a minute i thought it was the intro to Here comes the sun!

[mindgam3r]

anyone know the instrumental bridge and outro parts? i really dig the feel on those parts, sounds like the strings are plucked real clean-like. my only insight so far has been to try an Am Em G chord progression and fool around with hammer-ons and pull-offs, but i'd like to get something concrete. anyone got it?

[sFolk]

Anyone know the piano part to the album version? Some pointers would be sweet!

[Gobias Industries]

based of 2006.02.26 Mandel Hall University of Chicago:

 

Capo 2 (but it really doesn't matter where you capo it), Drop D.

These are the official lyrics, but I like the alternate lyrics and blend them in.  I won't bother going through these, but if necessary I'll add them on later.

"Quotes" are my interjections of necessary riffs and such.

"
--2p0-
-----3
------
------
------
-0----		 x2

That's the main riff, or [R].

Note: On the third time you execute the small bit of the riff, instead of 2p0, do 0h2."

Chords are relative to capo, and A major would be [A].
Also, note that A minor is [a], and etc.

[R] x2

[A]
There's a random painted highway
	  [G]					  [R]
And a muzzle of bees
[A]
My sleeves have come unstitched
	  [G]					  [R]x2
From climbing your tree

[G]
And dogs laugh, some say they're barking
								 [R]
I don't think they're mean
[G]
Some people get so frightened
								 [R]x2
Of the fences in between

[A]
And the sun gets passed from tree to tree
[e]			  [G]		[R]
Silently, and back to me
[A]
With the breeze blown through
Pushed up against the sea
[e]	  [G]	  
Finally back to me

"[e], for those who haven't figured it out:
-0-
-0-
-0-
-2-
-2-
-2-

At this point a riff comes up:

----------
--2-0-----
---2-1s2--
--------4- <<<Sounding the 4 here is okay on the last note.
---------- <<<Open here is okay on the last note.
-0-------0	   x2

We'll call it [R2]."

[R2]

[G]
I'm assuming you got my message
					  [R2]
On your machine
[G]
I'm assuming you love me
					[R2]
And you know what that means

"And so, we come this this interlude part.  Generally, it's
[a] [Cmaj7] [G] [R], but it's more detailed than that:

and a note: While you do the crazy pull-offs, it's recommended to
play the chord on the bottom too, as to fill up the space a little more.

[a]var1
----------------------------
--1--3p1p0p1-3p1p0p1-3p1p0p1
---2------------------------
----2-----------------------
-0--------------------------
----------------------------

[Cmaj7]
----------------------------
--0--3p1p0p1-3p1p0p1-3p1p0p1
---0------------------------
----2-----------------------
-3--------------------------
----------------------------

[G]
-3---3---
-3---3---
-0---0---
-0---0---
-2---2---
-0---0---
----------

[a]var2
--8-  10p8s7s8-10p8s7s8-10p8s7s8 
---10-- -------- -------- -------
---- 9- -------- -------- -------
----- - -------- -------- -------
-0--- - -------- -------- -------
------- -------- -------- -------"

Now that the notation is done with, here's how Tweedy does it solo:

[a]var1 [Cmaj7] [G] [R] [a]var2 [Cmaj7] [G] [D]

But, if you're playing like how the full band does it, which capoes 7, you'll
have to do it such, as you can't reach that far up the fretboard (a job for Elasticman?):

[a]var1 [Cmaj7] [G] [R] [a]var1 [Cmaj7] [G] [D]

[A]
Sun gets passed, sea to sea
[e]			   [G]			[D]
Silently, and back to me
[A]
With the breeze blown through
						   [e]
Pushed up above the leaves

[A] 
With the breeze blown through
						[e]  
My head upon your knee
		   [G]				 [D]
Half of it's you, half is me
[e]		   [G]				 [D]
Half of it's you, half is me

"At which point, there's some weird chord things that happen:

[a9]
-0-
-1-
-4-
-2-
-0-
---

[Cmaj7]
---
-0-
-0-
-2-
-3-
---

[G6]
-0-
-0-
-0-
-0-
-2-
-0-"

So, it's usually about (it varies, as i've noticed) [a9]x8 strums, [Cmaj7]x8 strums, [G6]x2 strums, [D]x8 strums.

Then, you happen upon the interlude again:

[a]var1 [Cmaj7] [G] [R] [a]var2 [Cmaj7] [G] [D]

But, if you're playing like how the full band does it, which capoes 7, you'll
have to do it such, as you can't reach that far up the fretboard (a job for Elasticman?):

[a]var1 [Cmaj7] [G] [R] [a]var1 [Cmaj7] [G] [D]

and end.

By the way, it's all fingerpicked.

Yes this is great..thanks for posting!

[froggie]

 

will try it over the weekend

[sFolk]

yes

 

wanna help me out then later?

[Gobias Industries]

so how is the tab exactly? i'm stirring for critical opinion here.

[WrigleyDog]

I usually don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to transcriptions so take this for what it's worth

I think overall the tab is right on...some minor variations from what you have but mostly just personal preference (like i play it capo 5, but like you said you could move it around)..I only have the 3-4-05 solo version from the Vic and he doesn't play your [a]var2 and it sounds like [Cmaj7] in the interlude isn't b - 3p1p0p1 but just alternating b - 0 g - 0, but hey, that's just me....anyway, i appreciate the work you did, thanks!
