 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 - B - F#min - A  (Open E, B at 7th, ect)
 (You can add open high E & 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!

 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 as opposed to F?)
 There's four chords throughout:  E - B - F#min - A  (Open E, B at 7th, ect)
 (You can add open high E & B as drone notes).   The original, if you like 
 would be
 F, C, Gmin and B 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 Gm7 before the Bb and let me know what you think
 (bag@cjnetworks.com)
 I play it w/capo@3 like D(F) A(C) Em7(Gm7) G(Bb) its easy and sounds 
 cool. 
 I saw these guys
 in Lawrence KS recently..VERY COOL...like seeing a young
 pre-disillusioned(new word) Bob!

 If you have anything to add or change feel free.  If you would like to get
 in
 touch with me you can:  samcarla@sowega.net  or  at my homepage
 http://www.america.net/~samcarla  ME TOO! Thank you Sam for getting me on
 the right track!
 the Gm7 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....

 *Verse 1
 
 F                       C
 Sirens ring,  Shots ring out
 
           Gm                 Bb
 A stranger cries, screams out loud
 
 I had my world strapped against my back
 I held my hands, never knew how to act
 
 *Chorus
           F
 Well, The same black line that was drawn on you
 
    C                                Gm
 Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in,
 
           Bb

 N.B.: listen carefully to the background voice, this is Adam Duritz's amazing 
 voice (if you don't know the Counting Crows, go buy their 2 CDs right now!)
 
 Note: tune all strings 1 step down. () means you can choose to play the chord or 
 ----  not.
 
 
 Intro:
 -----
 
 G   D   Am   C (x2)
 
 
 Verse #1:
 --------
 
               G                         D
 	Sirens ring, the shots ring out
 	
                  Am                        C 
 	A stranger cries, screams out loud
 
                 G                          D  
 	I had my world strapped against my back
 
                   Am                        C   (D)
 	I held my hands, never knew how to act
 
 
 Chorus:
 ------
 
 
 	        G                              
 	And the same black line that was drawn on you
 
             D
 	Was drawn on me
 
                                Am            
 	And now it's drawn me in
 
                   C      (D)
 	6th Avenue heartache
 
 
 Verse #2:
 --------
 
 	Below me was a homeless man
 	I'm singing songs I knew complete
 	On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
 	It's fifty years, stood where he stands
 
 (Chorus)
 
 
 Verse #3:
 --------
 
 
 	Now walkin' home on those streets
 	The river winds move my feet
 	Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
 	They stood by me, just like moonbeams
 
 (instrumental part: play same chords)
 
 
 Verse #4:
 --------
 
 
 	Look out the window, down upon that street
 	And gone like a midnight was that man
 	But I see his 6 strings laid against that wall
 	And all his things, they all look so small
 	I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
 	Just like me, just moved on 
 
 (Chorus/ad-lib to fade...)
