Chords with lyrics
from Wilco (The Album)
tabbed by Joe Miró
Standard tuning - no capo
For the chords marked with an asterisk (*) he uses his pinky to hammer on and pull
off on the 3rd fret of the E-string, (so the D MajorD+DmDm chords shortly transform into Dsus4Dsus4)
FF
Wake up we're here
A augmentedA
It's so much worse than we feared
FF
There's nothing left here
A*
The country has disappeared
C/GC/G
If the winter trees bleeding, leave red blood
DmDm
The summer sweet dreaming, april blush
A minorAm
But none of that is ever gonna mean as much to me again.
FF
Hold out your hand,
A*
there's so much you don't understand
FF
So stick as close as you can,
A*
all of the best laid plans
C/GC/G
You've got the white clouds hanging so high above you
DmDm
You've got the helicopters dangling angling to shoot,
A minorAm
the shots to feed the hungry weekend news crew anchorman.
G+G
So every evening we can watch from above,
D MajorD
crushed cities like a bug
G+G
Fold ourselves into each others guts,
D*
and turn our faces up to the sun.
A augmentedA

FF
I won't take no
A*
I won't let you go
FF
All by yourself
A*
Oh no you need my help
C/GC/G
When the cold night shakes you like a chandelier
DmDm
The snowflakes break through the atmosphere,
A minorAm
and melt on the blue breath of the auctioneers and disappear.
G+G
So every evening we can watch from above,
D MajorD
crushed cities like a bug
G+G
Fold ourselves into each others bloods,
D*
