               Shakey Graves - House of Winston
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Drop D MajorD (DADGBe)
Studio Version: Capo 1

This tab is based off of this live version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFNbBDKQnzo
In this live version he plays it open but on the album he plays it with a capo on the
first fret.

There are only three chords in this song, each with a more complicated name than the
last, so I'll refer to them as:

G6*       A6**      Bm***      |  If you're interested, the actual
                         |  names of these chords are:
e|-0-|     e|-0-|     e|-0-|      |   *G6 (omit 5)
BB|-5-|     BB|-5-|     BB|-5-|      |   ** A6. Just A major 6A6
G+G|-4-|     G+G|-4-|     G+G|-4-|      |   ***Bm add11(omit 5)
D MajorD|-5-|     D MajorD|-5-|     D MajorD|-5-|      |
A augmentedA|-X-|     A augmentedA|-X-|     A augmentedA|-X-|      |
D MajorD|-5-|     D MajorD|-5-|     D MajorD|-5-|      |

So the song starts out with the G6G6 chord muted and Shakey do a sort of chugged strum
across the muted strings. After that, the song breaks into the into the chord pattern
of:

G6G6  G6G6  B minorBm
A major 6A6  A major 6A6  B minorBm

Repeating over and over except for the first time he says, "Into the night" after the
chorus, he picks/strums open for a bit with a few fancy flairs and whatnot, but if
you're interested you can check it out in the video. Here's a quick example of how the chords go:


G6G6 Muted chugging

G6G6  G6G6  B minorBm
A major 6A6  A major 6A6  B minorBm x2


G6G6             B minorBm  A major 6A6    B minorBm  G6G6
And don't let your lipstick wear
           B minorBm  A major 6A6
We'll make a swift escape
B minorBm    G6G6            B minorBm  A major 6A6    B minorBm
Yeah, and use the rest to write it down

G minorGm                     B minorBm
So that we can remember the way your father turned around
           A major 6A6
To say, "Oh boy, just choose a side"
     (X mute X)
But I wanna waste your time

G6G6  G6G6  B minorBm
A major 6A6  A major 6A6  B minorBm
(Yeah, I wanna waste your time)

(X mute X)   (Open)
Oh, into the night

G6G6  G6G6  B minorBm
A major 6A6  A major 6A6  B minorBm


Then just repeat with:

Oh, but don't let your lovin' show
Oh, we'll find new home
Yeah, and use the rest to build it up
