FEELING GRAVITYS PULL



{opening riff}

   

#har denotes harmonics on that fret

(E) --------------------0--------------------------5har--

(B) -12-------12------0---0----------7har----------5har--

(G)----11-10----11-10----------------7har----------5har--

(D)----------------------------------7har----------5har--

(E)-------------------------7-7777-7------7-7777-7-------

 

  {play the riff but start with the stuff on the 7th fret of

   the low E string}

 I fell asleep at just about every paragraph

 Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around

 Peel back the mountains peel back the sky

 Stomp gravity into the floor

 It's a Man Ray kind of sky

 I'll show you what I can do with it

 Time and distance are out of place here

 

 

{The riff is like this:

(B) ------0------0------0------0----

(G) ----0------0------0------0------

(D) --------------------------------

(A) -----------------------0--------

(E) -0------2-------3---------------



 Step up, step up, step up the sky is opening

					{of course, start the riff again}

 With the lightest mind I felt gravity pull

 

 Somewhere near the end it's sad

 You can't do this I said I can

 To shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift

 It's a Man Ray kind of sky

 I'll show you what I can do with it



 Step up, step up, step up. The sky is opening.

					   C

 With the lightest mind, I felt gravity pull...

 

	       D       C          D          

 ...onto my eyelids. Holding my head straight-

  C                              B

 This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

 

 I fell asleep at just about every paragraph

 Shift the swaying river's shift

 Oceans fall and mountains drift

 It's a Man Ray kind of sky

 This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

{The end follows these chords:  B  C  B  C  B  C  B C D B}

 Gravity pulls me down







MAPS AND LEGENDS

 

{intro:}

Em   D2   Em   (A)  --0-h-2-----

	       (E)  --------3--3-0

 

 Is he to be reached, he's not to be reached

 Is he to be reached, he's not to be reached

  D2       Em      D2       Em

 Call the fool in company

  D2     Em      F#m           A

 On his own where he'd rather be

  D2       Em       D2     Em       D2        Em    F#m          A/Asus4

 Where he ought to be he sees what you can't see, can't you see that

 

{same as intro}

 Maybe he's caught in the legend

 maybe he's caught in the mood

 Maybe these maps and legends

 Have been misunderstood

 

 Down the way the roads divided

 Name me the places you have seen

 Those who know what I don't know

 Have heard of the yellow red and green

{the break follows these chords}

D  Dm   F   C     D  Dm   F F    D  Dm   F  C



 

 The map that she's made him doesn't seem real

 He just sees whatever he sees

 Point to the legend point to the east

 Point to the yellow red and green

 We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away



{on that part, you can play the Em Em/F# Em/G Em chords, or you can play

 this riff:

(E) -0-------2------3------2--------

 

 Saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm

 Power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged

 Bells are ringing through the town again

 Children look up all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing

 

  Am                    C

 Way to seal the hated heat

  G                     D

 Way to put myself to sleep

  Am                    C

 Way to seal the hated heat

  G                     D/Dsus4

 Way to put myself my children to sleep

 

 Pilot did this song in a plane like that one

 She is selling faith on a hotel crusade

 Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent hear the bells ring again

 This field of wheat is looking thin

 

 And the train conductor says

 Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break

 We've been on this shift too long

My carpenter's out and running about talking to the street

{same as before}

My pockets are out and running about

Walking in the street to tell what I have hidden there



Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way

To yours to go between the wall was razed today

Raze the walls the childish flaws the carpenters should wrestle

So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best



{somewhere around her, there's that little break "Listen to the holler..."

chords are:  F  Fsus4     C     D



The hills ringing hear the words in time

Listen to the holler listen to my walls within my tongue

When my ears go tin the air quicken tension build ________ inference suddenly

Life and how to live it



Raze the walls the childish flaws the carpenters should wrestle

So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

Read about the wisdom lost a knock a knock a knock

A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost



Listen listen to the holler

I will write a book it will be called Life and How to Live It

GREEN GROW THE RUSHES



The song opens with this, the chorus (3 times):

E---0----------------0-----0-------

B-----2-3-SL-5-5-0-----3-----3---3-        SL - slide up

G------------------4-----4-----4---        sl - slide down

D----------------------------------         H - hammer on

A-0--------------------------------         h - hammer off

E----------------------------------



Then, after the third time through:

E---2-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-----------

B-----3-----3---3-3-3-3-3-0---------

G-4-----4-----4-4-4-4-4-4-0---------

D-----------------------------------

A-----------------------------------

E-----------------------------------



The chords are D Dsus D G Bm E with some picking thrown in (2 times):

E-2-2-3-2-2-3-3-3-----------2-----------0-0---------0------------------

B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------3-----------0---0---------0----------------

G-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-----------4-----------1-----1-H-2-----0--------------

A-----------2-2-2---0-H-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------------

E-----------3-3-3-3---------------------0------------------------------



Then, in a 7ChineseBros kind of way, hit the D string in a steady

rhythym and add the G-string notes appropriately (listen to the disk):

E----------------------------------------------------------------------

B----------------------------------------------------------------------

G-14-14-14-12-11-11-11-12-12-12-11-9-9-9-11-11-11-9-7-7-7-H-9-h-7-4-7-7

A----------------------------------------------------------------------

E----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go through this twice, then back to the chords, and then the chorus

again.  All the verses have this structure until the last one.



In the last verse, after the chords, it goes like:

E----------------------------------------------------------------------

B----------------------------------------------------------------------

G-14-14-14-12-11-11-11-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-14-14-14-12-11-11-11----

GOOD ADVICES



The basic chords for this song are E, D and A, although not the normal

open E, D and A.  There's also an Em and some picking as well.



Here are the chords as I hear them, but due to the numerous guitar

tracks on the studio version, your guess is as good as mine:



  E      D     A    Em    D-lick

E-0------0-----0----0-----2-----0--------------------------------------

B-0------0-----0----0-----3-3-----3---3--------------------------------

G-9------7-----6----0-----2---2-----2----------------------------------

D-9------7-----7----2-----0--------------------------------------------

A-7------5-----0----2--------------------------------------------------

E-0------X-----X----0--------------------------------------------------



The song fades in on the E chord and the verses go:

E

When you greet a stranger,     | Verse II:

D                              |   When you greet a stranger,

Look at his shoes.             |   Look at her hands,

A                       E      |   Keep your money in your hands,

Keep your money in your shoes, |   Put your travel behind.

	 D-lick                |

Put your trouble behind.       |

I'll forget your name.             |  Look at his shoes.

I'd like it here if I couldn't     |  Keep your memories in your shoes,

Even see you from a long way away. |  Put your travel behind.



CHORUS (as above):



Break:

Em

At the end of the day,

When there are no friends.



Verse V: (wierd but it works)         Verse VI:

And there are no lovers.           |  Familiar face, a boring place,

Who are you going to call for?     |  I'll forget your name.

What do you have to change.        |  I'd like it here if I couldn't

(Mike Mills in the background)     |  Even see you from a long way away.



CHORUS (as above) END





WENDELL GEE

 

 C                    Dm

 That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug

   G         G7         Em               G

 Upon the string that held the line of trees

 C                    Dm

 Behind the house he lived in

	   G             G7

 He was reared to give respect

       Em                 G        F

 But somewhere down the line he chose

		     C Em F

 To whistle as the wind  blows

  F              C      G                 C

 Whistle as the wind   blows through the leaves

 

  {same as before}

 He had a dream one night

 That the tree had lost its middle

 So he built a trunk of chicken wire

 To try to hold it up but the wire the wire turned to lizard skin

 And when he climbed it sagged

  F                  C        Em     F

 There wasn't even time to say

  F                  C        G      F

 Goodbye to Wendell Gee

		     C       Em      F

 So whistle as the wind blows

		   C    G                    C  (second time through, play F)

 Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves

 

		   C      Em      F 

 If the wind were colors

			C     G   F

 And if the air could speak

		       C      Em  F

 Then whistle as the wind blows

		 C     G     C

 Whistle as the wind blows
