6th Avenue Heartache by The Wallflowers
sorry the last sub. messed up when i dropped it in my e-mail
here it is fixed.
THE WALLFLOWERS
Bringing Down The Horse
I just bought this CD today, but i'm pretty sure the chords are right.
However the lyrics I had to figure out on my own, so don't scream if they're
a little off, (Jakob can slurr like only a Dylan can [I mean that in a good
way]).

6th Avenue Heartache by the Wallflowers, found on "Bringing Down the Horse"
There's four chords throughout: E MajorE - BB - F#min - A augmentedA (Open E, BB at 7th, ect)
(You can add open high E MajorE & B's as drone notes). Sounds best
"unplugged". I
heard a GREAT version which was without drums and bass. Only vocals,
resonator
slide guitar (try a National Duolian!) for solo fills and background
accordion were playing.
My thanks to Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers for this one! SIXTH AVENUE HEARTACHE by The WALLFLOWERS

Transcription by Dave Poch (I am not responsible for any of the
following, use at your
discretion!)
I play it in a different key than the recorded version: (E MajorE as opposed to F?)
There's four chords throughout: E MajorE - BB - F#min - A augmentedA (Open E, BB at 7th, ect)
(You can add open high E MajorE & BB as drone notes). The original, if you like
would be
F, C, Gmin and BB flat, just capo at the first fret and finger the chords
as shown.
Play a full barre on the F#min if easier.

Bringing Down The Horse
I just bought this CD today, but i'm pretty sure the chords are right.
However the lyrics I had to figure out on my own, so don't scream if
they're
a little off, (Jakob can slurr like only a Dylan can [I mean that in a good
way]). Try it with the 
Gm7Gm7 before the Bb majorBb and let me know what you think
([email protected])
I play it w/capo@3 like D(FF) A(C majorC) Em7(Gm7Gm7) G(Bb majorBb) its easy and sounds
cool.
I saw these guys
in Lawrence KS recently..VERY COOL...like seeing a young
pre-disillusioned(new word) Bob!

http://www.america.net/~samcarla ME TOO! Thank you Sam for getting me on
the right track!
the Gm7Gm7 thing was a gift from above...it just happened....and seemed
right!?!?
not sure why I can remember lyrics tonight while typing. I sure as hell
can't when I'm singing it!
I dont know how correct it is. The chords sound right though
Ive only got the first verse lyrics, but they're pretty simple.
Appreciate any corrections or suggestions....
