This is called an open D7sus4+9
DADGCE
Capo on 2.
So not to make it sound confusing, but instead of having the tuning in the chord tab,
i'll put the open notes with the capo on in there instead.
The song starts out like this:
F#|--------0----0----0-------------0----|
D |--------9----0----0-------------0----|
A |--------7----4----4-------------0----|
E |--0-----0----5----0-------------2----|
B |--0-----0----0----5---------0h2-2----|
E |--0-----x----0----5------0h2----2----|
That's the main gist for the verses.
The chorus goes like this:
"Down through the dirt you lead us..."
F#|--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0----0-1-0-|
D |--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0----0-0-0-|
A |--2-------4------2-------4-----0------2----2-2-2-|
E |--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0----0-0-0-|
B |--3-------5------3-------5-----2------3----------|
E |--3-------5------3-------5-----2------3----------|
"I feel you won't need us..."
F#|--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0-----------------0-1-0-1-0-1--|
D |--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-0-0--|
A |--2-------4------2-------4-----0------2-----0-2-0-2-----2-2-2-2-2-2--|
E |--0-------0------0-------0-----0------0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-0-0--|
B |--3-------5------3-------5-----2------3-----3-3-3-3------------------|
E |--3-------5------3-------5-----2------3-----3-3-3-3------------------|
And back to the main gist of the song for a solo and then the next verse.
Do the above as the song follows...
Now to the fun, jammy part of the song.
"And two yellow eyes remember souls of ancient lies..."
"And she sees them dance and hears them moan and cry..."
F#|--0------0---0-1-0-1-0-1----0----------0-1-0-1-0-1--|
D |--0------0---0-0-0-0-0-0----0----------0-0-0-0-0-0--|
A |--0------2---2-2-2-2-2-2----0------2---2-2-2-2-2-2--|
E |--3------0---0-0-0-0-0-0----3------0---0-0-0-0-0-0--|
B |--1------0---0-0-0-0-0-0----1------0----------------|
E |---------0---0-0-0-0-0-0-----------0----------------|
And the end of the song just basically follows the jam session.
Also, if you know that chromatic diddy Mark plays in the jam, here's a fun and easy way
to play it:
(Index finger on 3rd string, middle finger on 2nd string, and play the chromatics with
your ring and pinky fingers)
F#|--0---|----0---0-0-0----0-0-0--0-0-|--1---|
D |--0---|----0---2-3-4----2-3-4--2-4-|--0---|
A |--0---|.---2---2-2-2----2-2-2--2-2-|--3--.|
E |--3---|.---0---0-0-0----0-0-0--0-0-|--3--.|
B |--1---|----0-----------------------|------|
E |------|----0-----------------------|------|
I know you're willing and able / There by the wooden table
Won't you come on over to my side? / And you know I'll treat you right
There at the water / There is the water you drink
Won't you come on over to my side? / And you can drink from my...
Down through the dirt you lead us / Across the sand you'll disappear
Will you come back? / I feel you won't need us
I feel you won't miss us / Will you come back?
Back in the summer / I fell into your space
With an understanding / When I just looked in your face
There at the water / You wash your skin
Sleep on the violets / Until you're covered in dust again
I know you're hungry and tired / All alone by the fire
Won't you come, come on over to my side? / And you know...
Down through the dirt you lead us / One kiss before you leave
Will you come back? / And sleep tonight beside me?
The morning comes I feel alive / Will you come back?
And two yellow eyes remember / Souls of ancient lies
And she sees them dance and hears them moan and cry
And two yellow eyes reveal / Warmth and love inside
And she wears her mask / Pulls on her gloves
