Capo II
Dm/C: x30231
Intro: (Am)(E)(Am)(E)
(Am)I really like this counter, Doc
(Am)Reminds me of confession
(Am)Hey (Fmaj7)Doc
(Am)Are you following the market, Doc
(Am)Hey (Fmaj7)Doc
(Fmaj7)Sometimes I (Em)lie awake at (Fmaj7)night

(Fmaj7)Sometimes I (Em)get down on my (Fmaj7)knees

(Am)Some(Fmaj7)times I (G)lie a(D)wake (D*)at (Am)night
Capo VII
Am7: 002013
Intro: (G)(Am7)(Fmaj7)(C)(G)(Fmaj7)(C)
In a (G)crowd
But if I (G)did
That Sole(D)dad was your (C)mother's (G)name
You were (G)born
Now it may (G)be
But Sole(D)dad was your (C)mother's (G)name
In my (D)mind
I will (G)wait
Sole(D)dad was your (C)mother's (G)name
Sole(D)dad was your (C)mother's (G)name
Capo IV
In order for me to actually transcribe this song the way Richard plays it . . . so
that it would actually make sense . . . I'd have to be able to
write tab. Which I can't. But more importantly, in order to
really play this like Richard does, you'd have to be able to
flatpick like, oh, Richard. Which you probably can't. But you can always
do this basic play-the-chords version, which is what Richard does by the
time he gets to the "God" verse anyway. Luckly, there's also a pretty accurate "how to play this
song" video on YouTube if you click here.
The song is basically a repetition of an Am-Fmaj7-C-G pattern during the
first four lines of each verse:
Am: x02210
Do that the first time through. For each alternating line, you'll add a
high G to the Fmaj7 and C chords and play them as follows:
*Fmaj7: x03213
The only other remotely funky chord is this:
Intro: (Am)(Fmaj7)(C)(G) . . . (Am)(*Fmaj7)(*C)(G) . . . 2X . . .
(Am)You (Fmaj7)stay (C)here (G)
(Am)(Fmaj7)(C)(G) . . . (Am)(*Fmaj7)(*C)(G)
(Am)You (Fmaj7)stay (C)here (G)
(Am)(Fmaj7)(C)(G) . . . (Am)(*Fmaj7)(*C)(G)
(Am)You (Fmaj7)stay (C)here (G)
(Am)(Fmaj7)(C)(G) . . . (Am)(*Fmaj7)(*C)(G)
(Am)You (Fmaj7)stay (C)here (G)
(Am)(Fmaj7)(C)(G) . . . (Am)(*Fmaj7)(*C)(G) . . . 2X
(Am)You (Fmaj7)stay (C)here (G)
(Am)(Fmaj7)(C)(G) . . . (Am)(*Fmaj7)(*C)(G) . . . 2X
(Am)You (Fmaj7)stay (C)here (G)
(Am)(*Fmaj7)(*C)(G) . . . (Am)(Fmaj7)(C)(G)
DADGAD
(D): 000200
*Note: at the end of the third line in each verse, Richard embellishes the (Bm) chord by fretting the 4th fret on the second string (024040). Listen to it and you'll hear what I mean.
Intro: (D)(G)(D) . . . (D)(G)(D)
(D)Take your suitcase and (G)take your (D)heart
(D)You can try to lose your(G)self down(D)town
(Em)My love will follow (Bm)you
(D)Close the door, turn (G)in the (D)key
(D)Even on the road that (G)takes you (D)down
(Em)My love will follow (Bm)you
(G)If you should go so far
(D)So go ahead baby (G)take that (D)train
DADGAD
Bm: 024000
Note: in the first three lines of each chorus, the (G) chord is played 550200, and there's a pretty good YouTube tutorial video of a guy showing how to play the song.
Intro: Play the chords from the first two lines one time through.
(Bm)Let's (Bm*)not drive a(G)way just yet(D)
(Bm)If we(Bm*) turn off the (G)radi(D)o
(D)The vine of my (G)memory
(Bm)I'm (Bm*)tempted to (G)ring the bell(D)
(Bm)Re(Bm*)member the (G)price we paid(D)
CHORUS
(Bm)It (Bm*)did need some (G)pruning back(D)
So (Bm)let's (Bm*)not drive a(G)way just yet(D)
(D)The vine of my (G)memory
G/B: x20030
Intro: (Am)(C)(G)(D) . . . (F)(G)(D)(Am)
I'm (Am)ready (C)as I'll (G)ever (D)be
(Am)The state po(C)lice they (G)came a(D)round
I've (F)made my prepar(C)ations
(Am)(C)(G)(D) . . . (F)(G)(D)(Am)
The (Am)wife and (C)kids, they've (G)gone up (D)north
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I've (Am)left the (C)windows (G)open (D)wide
CHORUS
(For closing section, play the chords from the bridge one time through)
Capo II
C/Eb: 031000
Intro: (G)(C)(C/Eb)(G)(A)(Am)(Em)(D)
The grocer's (G)broom, back and forth
Some (G)stop by the store
To (D)pass those (Gsus4)idle (G)days
He shuts the (G)light, says goodnight
BREAK: (G)(C)(C/Eb)(G)(A)(Am)(Em)(D)
He climbs the (G)stoop, finds the key
They'll (D)pass those (Gsus4)idle (G)days
B7: 021202
There's a bass-line riff thingy that goes on with the (B7) chord in the song . . . fifth string/second fret, sixth string/second fret, fifth string/second fret, etc. Use the finger that's fretting the fifth string to do the back and forth work. You don't have to do it, of course, but it's how RS does it.
(B7)The merge from the Turnpike was murder, but it's never a cinch
Somewhere near Paterson everything slowed down to a crawl
They (Am)all hit the gas in a dash for position
And so they continued, westbound and into the sun
(Am)How had it happened? They had all missed their exits
And (G)in they all went like sheep to the slaughter
They (G)followed the river and rounded the bend
Sister Maria tightened the bolts of the spare
(Am)She entered the common room - there was her choir
And (G)so it began, in glorious harmony
And they (G)poured out their souls
DADGAD
D: 000200
*Intro hint: When you first go from the initial (D) chord to the (G) chord, you'll play the (G) as 550020. Fret the fifth and sixth strings with your pinky and ring finger, and use your first finger on the 2nd string/2nd fret. Then, to play that little suspended (G) riff thingy at the :08 mark, keep your first finger there, and sneak your middle finger in behind on the third fret to kick off the descending 550030/550020/550000 thing that resolves back into the second (D).
While we're getting detailed, he also does a hammer-on as part of the first (D), hammering on and off the 2nd string/2nd fret before resolving into the (G) as described above.
Intro: (D)(G)* (D)
(D)The moon wanted more of my (G)night
(G)And I know you'll be (A)calling me soon
When I called the moon back to (G)me
(G)And I know you'll be (A)calling me soon
Oh, make sense of me, (G)night
(G)And I know you'll be (A)calling me soon
Calling the (G) moon
(End by playing the D chord: 000200, then playing all the strings open, then hammering back down on the third string . . . as per usual, do it along with the CD and you'll see what I mean.)
Gsus4: 320013
D: x00230
D*: x00030
(E)It's so much more discrete
(C)It's nice you made a place here
Where the (G)customer is free

(C)I pity all the suckers
Who take (G)too much time to think

Just (G)walking in my (E)sleep
Time is (Am)money (Fmaj7)(Gsus4)(G)(D)(D*)
Can you (Am)help me (Fmaj7)(Gsus4)(G)(D)(D*)

Some(Fmaj7)times I (C)wish that (G)I (D)could (Am)pray
But (Fmaj7)I just (G)don't know (D)what (D*)to (Am)say
