Title: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Marquis of Sadness on March 02, 2006, 07:32:16 PM I have a lot of tab requests, and I imagine others probably do too, so maybe a thread where one can ask for all their Daniel Johnston tabbing needs would be a good thing, no?
If anyone has it, I'm looking for: "Spirit World Rising" "My Life Is Starting Over Again" "Mountain Top" "Syrup of Tears" Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on March 02, 2006, 09:41:07 PM Here's what I've got. I'm working on a guitar tab for Syrup. It's a little tricky since it's a piano song.
Spirit World Rising To get the right sound, let the low E string ring in the C chord (0-3-2-0-1-0) G I have been C To Abilene G G The spirit world rising G I have seen C In Abilene G The devil has Texas (Instrumental section) This is just a C chord being slid up 3 frets and then moved down fret by fret back to original position. One chord per measure. Let the low E string ring throughout this part. Here’s the fret tab from low string to high string 0-3-2-0-1-0 0-6-5-0-4-0 0-5-4-0-3-0 0-4-3-0-2-0 (repeat and then end on the last chord) Mountain Top Some question as to whether it's Am or A7 in the verse. I definitely hear Am in the chorus. G C On top of a mountain top Am D I stood and thought one day G C I could really see a lot Am D And if I had my way D Am A lazy young sod I was C G G/F# bass) So deep in love those days D Am And if there was nothing was C G G/F# bass But only love I crave My Life Is Starting Over Again Verse G C G D C G G G My life is starting over again Over again C G My friends say I’m back again D C My life is starting over again G Over again (All verses identical) C G I know that there’s no place left to hide C D But I guess that it’s better than suicide These are such great songs... especially Spirit World Rising. I get chills everytime I hear it at the opening of the trailer. (God... how many more times can I watch that thing) 28 days till the real thing... Zack Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on March 03, 2006, 12:36:48 AM Hey M of S,
Just finished the chord chart for "Syrup of Tears" this should work for piano or guitar. G/B means G chord in the right hand with a B as the left hand bass note. Low C bass note on quarter notes throughout this part. Right hand plays the chords. C G F C F C C G F 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 + 3 + 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Tears fall left and right No hope in sight Why can’t we syrup For sorrow pancakes so flat (Bass notes follow the chords now. There are two extra beats before this section) G C G/B Am 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | F G 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Keep it light forever Not realizing my own fate It’s great – the weight upon me now (same as opening) Nothing for me nowhere But the emptiness I feel Depression has got me down Drilling for the kill It’s too late to suffer through God, I’ll make you a deal: Just let me smile a while – for real. C F G 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | (repeat) And when the evening comes I’ll be on the run You were the only one That sure was fun F G F G 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | F G C C7 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | To me it’s never been any better And no kind of love has been any greater Than you, for me, I can tell F G F G C C7 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 You shone like a sacred goddess in love Like a psycho hot as the sun (chords here are the same as “And when the evening comes”) Until we meet again, I won’t give up It’s such a wonder for us – our inner quest (chords here are the same as “To me it’s never been any better…”) And so it starts The alligator when you appeared From never forever And you smiled on my poor suffering soul Blessed child, you are my treasure Can’t you see, it’s all an illusion I love you more than myself C C7 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | (repeat 4 times) I love you more than myself I love you more than myself I love you more than myself I love you more than myself (same chords as opening) And I wish to see you again And I wish to see you again And I wish to see you again And I wish to see you again And I wish to see you again Let me know how this works out for you... Zack Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Diragono on March 09, 2006, 04:33:23 AM Anyone got/working on "Love Not Dead"? I'd love you long time.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on March 09, 2006, 08:45:39 AM Here's a tab for Love Not Dead. Thanks to Kenji for the lyrics on the RU site.
I just noticed that the chords in the chorus spell DEAD! I wonder if he was having a little fun with that...or just coincedence... hmmm. Zack Love Not Dead A E A D | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | A E D A | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | it was love at first sight when I talked to her it was the beginning of a real good time all I knew was her and when I came around love had lingered on my mind D E A D | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | D E A | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | she said on the telephone she wished me well. so alive with a spell until I hung up early I've realized I've been dead for so long (verse chords) all my memories of her like a fading light I suffer thinking of our love for so long back in the early days I saw a lot of her she was the coolest girl in town (chorus chords) and when I saw her standing there everything was all right I took a journey in my mind and as I saw her beauty she was so kind that was a good time (verse chords) everyday we met it was wild I felt like a child I loved to see her smile and as I played piano I was so inspired I always had a real good time (chorus chords) and when last we met I just can't forget I took for sure I love her bad I just can't ignore her loving response I always knew she'd be all right (verse chords) she made me think I was okay and the love seemed so real I still got feelings for her and when I'm on tour singing about her forever I'll remember blessings and the good times we had (chorus chords) I really tried to play the game of love and I hate to loose maybe I can win somehow and so I'll dream of her for a thousand years until I see another girl D E A | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | that's the way it always was that's the way it always was that's the way it always was Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Marquis of Sadness on March 09, 2006, 03:07:24 PM Zack, is there anything you CAN'T tab? Thanks man.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on March 09, 2006, 07:41:11 PM You're welcome!
Tabbing is one of my favorite hobbies... currently working on a set of tabs for the entire "Don't Be Scared" cassette. I'll post it as soon as it's done. Zack Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Diragono on March 11, 2006, 12:16:21 PM Dayum, thanks Zack!
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: VeronicaIsCool on March 11, 2006, 12:47:19 PM Can anybody tab out the Bright Eyes version of "Devil Town" for me? I've never heard anything by Daniel Johnston before today, but this sounds like a good song to learn. I just can't tab stuff out myself.. So I would be very thankful if someone could do it for me.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on March 11, 2006, 01:53:32 PM Hi Veronica,
I hope this works for you. It's a really beautiful cover... Devil Town Bright Eyes version He plays all of these as bar chords (not necessary, but gives the nice scraping sound when sliding between the F and Bb chords). “X” indicates a muted (not sounding) string. F 1-3-3-2-1-1 Bb 6-8-8-7-6-6 Dm X-5-7-7-6-5 G 3-5-5-4-3-3 C X-3-5-5-5-3 F Bb | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | repeat throughout verse I was living in a devil town I didn’t know it was a devil town Oh Lord it really brings me down About the devil town All my friends were vampires Didn’t know they were vampires Turns out I was a vampire myself In the devil town Instrumental section Dm F Dm F | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Bb F G C | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | The next verse uses the same chords as the instrumental section All my friends were vampires Didn’t know they were vampires Turns out I was a vampire myself In the devil town This verse uses the same F – Bb progression as the first verse I was living in a devil town I didn’t know it was a devil town Oh Lord it really brings me down about the devil town Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: lonelyloner on March 12, 2006, 05:46:07 AM I tried to tab "Tuna Ketchup" in Standard Eb. I'm not too sure about it, here is what I got:
Am, C, G, E, Am ??? Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on March 12, 2006, 09:31:09 AM I think the original is in C minor.
Tuna Ketchup Cm Fm Cm G G7 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Cm Fm Cm G | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | G7 Cm Fm Cm | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | G G7 | 1 2 3 4 | If you want to play it in A minor then try Am, Dm, E, E7 instead of Cm,Fm,G,G7 (repectively) Zack Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Marquis of Sadness on March 13, 2006, 07:21:40 PM So far, all of your tabs have worked reliably, Zack. Awesome, man.
I'll try to think of a few more I might need.. how do you even pull this off, man? Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Marquis of Sadness on March 13, 2006, 07:23:05 PM Okay, I got a challenge for ya here:

Now The first “lo-fi” part is played using fingerings for G, C, and D, but either he’s using a capo on the second fret, or the tape is running fast, or he’s just got the guitar tuned a step up. Whatever the reason, the resulting chords sound A, D, and E The second “studio’ section is in actual G major. Em9 0-2-2-0-0-2 work nicely at the end.

Title: Go, Speeding Motorcycle, The Story of an Artist Tabs Post by: zack26 on June 24, 2006, 09:24:55 PM Go
His guitar is tuned pretty high on this song (or the tape is running fast) – to play along you’ll either need to tune higher or capo at the first fret. I also think he’s missing the first string on his guitar. Either that or it’s just being blocked out. The chords below sound pretty much like the recording, but regular 6-string chords work just fine too. Whenever he goes to the C chord, he usually plays am Am7 chord for one beat first. My guess is that it just took him a second to get the last finger down on the C chord. Whether or not it’s intentional, that little moment of Am7 makes the song for me... so I’ve included it. Verse chords G 3-2-0-0-3-X Am7 0-0-2-0-1-X C 0-3-2-0-1-X D X-0-0-3-2-X Em 0-2-2-0-0-X Chorus chords G 3-2-0-0-0-X G/F# 2-X-0-0-0-X open 0-0-0-0-0-X Em, D, Am7, and C same as before Verse progression 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | (repeat) G Am7 C 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | D Am7 C Em G So you think you've found the one And she knows just how you feel And you say that she's for real and she's fun Well, that's all well and good That's just the way it should be To understand and be understood is to be free So I think that you should go Go on ahead Take her in your arms and be wed Chorus progression 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | (repeat) G G/F# open Em D 1 2 3 4 | back to verse (G chord) Am7 C Go, go, go, go You restless soul, you're going to find it Go, go, go, go, You restless soul, you're going to find it Life's a bowl of cherries You can have as many as you can carry And someone once said that life is like a cow But I don't know how that applies But anyhow here we are all on this planet Taking everything for granted But I think you've caught on to something Don't let go Go, go, go, go You restless soul, you're going to find it Go, go, go, go You restless soul, you're going to find it Oh, yes you did, you found it Oh, yes you did, you found it Oh, yes you did, you found it Speeding Motorcycle melody: c d# e g e c c c b c (repeat) c Bb a g d# e g e c c d# e g e c c c b c Speeding motorcycle, won't you change me?

Basic progression: G E C G (repeat) C G D (repeat) A7 G E Sink in (sinking?) the sands of Dairy Queen C G Charmed by the earth’s delight she suffered G E Now she’s awake and in a dream C G Lays down her head and pulls up the covers C G D Was she just waiting for a song that didn’t last C G D Was she just looking for the future in the past A7 Or the memory of love Walking around she recollects Reflection in the mirror, she saw her mother Weird aura when the poor boy Asked her if she would like some water Thinking the damn young man was ugly from the lust Worrying the horoscope of time she couldn’t trust And the memory of love Looking for trouble I think you’ve found Laughter can be an awful sound Some people never really learn They don’t know how to turn their love light on ”No news is good news, they told you in the hell No shoes like your shoes, they blamed you for the goose For the memory of love The rabbit ate the chocolate rabbit The children came to play at the funeral Abraham Lincoln once walked five miles To return a nickel to a whore All things must be bad and good, it’s written in the stars Jesus built his own cross so we could get along With the memory of love G C (repeat) Feeling good now!

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Tombstoneshoes on September 19, 2006, 12:52:50 PM I'd be eternally grateful to someone who could give me the chords to 'Do you really love me'
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on September 19, 2006, 04:17:38 PM Tell Me Now (Do You Really Love Me)
version from Artistic Vice The bass plays a C on top of the Am chord. You can play this chord to get that sound: X-3-2-2-1-0 or just a regular Am works too. G Em You'll never know dear Am D The tears that I cried. (chords keep repeating) I don't wanna wait, girl, Till the day that I die, Tell me now, oh Do you really love me? I don't understand The things that you do. You promised you'd make me The king of the zoo. Tell me now, oh Do you really love me? C G In this world it's hard to find a friend. How come? C D But if this really is love then lets get it on, on, ooo I wanna know dear The way that you feel. I'm on a roll girl My heart's like a wheel. Tell me now, oh Do you really love me? If I can trust The look in your eye But if your kiss Could be a lie Tell me now, oh Do you really love me? In this world it's hard to find a friend. How come? But if this really is love then let’s get it on, on, ooo Tell me now. Do you really love me? Do you really love me? Do you really love me? (Chords: G Em Am D) When they said that love was dead, They were just playing with your head. Love is real. It's the way that I feel. I love you. Do you really love me? Do you really love me? Do you really love me? Tell me now Ending: G C G D G Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Tombstoneshoes on September 19, 2006, 06:19:30 PM Well it's been said before but you are a GOD my friend, I can't thank you enough for this, I've been dying to get covering this as a corny little hawaiian ukelele number for ages. I knew it'd be simple but I'm awful at picking out chords. Anyway thanks
Title: Lost And Found Tabs Part One Post by: zack26 on September 20, 2006, 06:31:22 PM Here's tabs for "Lost And Found". I still have a couple of "huh?"s for some of the lyrics. Does anyone know if the lyric in Rock This Town is Hollywood "whore" or "horror"? Both make perfect sense... I had "whore" at first, but I changed, because "horrors" is a word that shows up in a few songs.
Sometimes things don't line up right when posting tabs. If it's really bad let me know. I can also email the MSWord doc to anyone who wants a more printable version. The first part of this post is a repeat from an earlier thread (Lost and Found Tabs Part One in Fan Forums). Moderators can delete that old thread if its taking up too much space. I thought it would be better to have them all in the same tab thread. Rock This Town Note: C/F lick X-X-5-5-5-X to X-X-7-5-6-X and back E (lick: e-e-g-g#-b-b-c#-e) Gonna rock, gonna rock Gonna rock this town tonight Gonna rock, gonna rock Gonna rock this town tonight A (lick: a-a-c-c#-e-e-f#-e) Well I love that marijuana It makes me feel so high Tell all your troubles goodbye E Somehow escape the lie of the Hollywood horror C D And I’ll never get to heaven G C C/F C (see note at top) If I’ve been there before And all my dreams are broken I’m a madman at your door And I cried a million tears I may never see her again I’m more dead than alive In her many spacious memories Gonna rock, gonna rock Gonna rock this town tonight Gonna rock, gonna rock Gonna rock this town tonight Well I love that marijuana It makes me feel so high Tell all your troubles goodbye Somehow escape the lie of the Hollywood horror She was so pretty We were kissing and everything I had a picture of her She was a foxy girl so cool And the macaroni and cheese Always seemed to please And every day (???) As they got down on their knees Singing rock, gonna rock Gonna rock this town tonight Gonna rock, gonna rock Gonna rock this town tonight And I love that marijuana It makes me feel so high Troubles goodbye Somehow escape the lie of the Hollywood horror We’re downtown In the straight and narrow way And what did we find A real good time Austin, Texas USA Let freedom ring Everybody say Linda McCartney is dead That’s what the TV said Let’s rock, we’re gonna rock Wer’re gonna rock this town tonight We’re gonna rock, we’re gonna rock We’re gonna rock this town tonight Well I love that marijuana Makes me feel so high Tell all your troubles goodbye Somehow escape the lie of the Hollywood horror I took my guitar To the heavy metal school I told them all about The golden rule They just laughed in my face And called me a space case The last of the human race The last of the human race Let’s rock, we’re gonna rock Wer’re gonna rock this town tonight We’re gonna rock, we’re gonna rock We’re gonna rock this town tonight And I love that marijuana Makes me feel so high Tell all your troubles goodbye Somehow escape the lie of the Hollywood horror E7 Rock!

Try To Love For C7/Bb bass try this chord X-1-2-0-1-0 or just regular C7 C G G7 In my fantasy You were there with me I turned towards the mirror And there’s nothing there I sit in a chair Washing my underwear Thinking all along You were of good cheer F G C C7/Bb bass And I am going to try to love And I am going to rise above So begins the star There’s a spark in my heart But you just stayed away from my memory I try to get it right Lay down a song But there’s something wrong with my song And I am going to try to love And I am going to rise above Baby you’re the one Same as any other And I really tried But I’ve been denied Crazy as it seems In the hall of broken dreams Till there’s nothing left But an empty eggshell And I am going to try to love And I am going to rise above Saw you in my movie Like you really cared I turned towards the mirror And there’s nothing there You were on my mind I tried to unwind To a better atmosphere of good cheer And I am going to try to love And I am going to rise above I am going to try to love And I am going to rise above The Beatles C F C | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | (bass lick at “God bless them”: c-c-Bb-Bb-a-a-g-g-f) When I was born in ‘61 They already had a hit And they worked so ha-a-ard And they made it Joe But they really were very good They deserve all their success And they earned it, yes they did They didn’t buy their respect And everybody wanted to be like them Everybody wanted to be the Beatles And I really wanted to be like him But he died The legendary rock group Its history now to read Like a magical fairy tale That’s hard to believe But it really did happen Four lads that shook the world God bless them for what they done Lonely Song G A Well you heard about the time Am7 D I climbed the Empire State Building G A And you heard about the time Am7 D I was in the insane asylum G C But I bet you never knew G C What I went through G C And what I had to do D G Just to bring you - a lonely song Instrumental break: G C G Though I try to do what’s right Every day and every night And when I think I’ve won the fight The monster comes back again And I bet you never knew What I went through And what I had to do Just to bring you - a lonely song Instrumental break: G C G G7 C If you listen very hard You can hear the desperation G Of a sad and broken heart D My heart Well you heard about the times But not all of it is true And you’ve read the magazines I’ve been wounded by folklore But I bet you never knew What I went through And what I had to do Just to bring you - a lonely song Well I’ll tell you right now Just to set the record straight I never meant no harm Or to generate so much hate ‘Cos I bet you never knew What I went through And what I had to do Just to bring you -

Hi would absolutely love a tab of "Like a Monkey in the Zoo". If anyone could hook that up it would be awesome. Thanks, -DG Title: Like A Monkey In A Zoo (Tab) Post by: zack26 on October 01, 2006, 05:48:56 PM Like A Monkey in a Zoo
(thanks to Jimmy Nothin' for lyrics on the RU website) G D C | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | I'm chained to the wall. I have nothin' at all. And my eyes look into the sunset Thinkin' of better things to do, Like a monkey in a zoo. The days go so slow. I don't have no friends. Except all these people Who want me to do tricks for them, Like a monkey in a zoo. G G7 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | C C/B Am G G7 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | C C/B Am D D7 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | And it could happen to you. You could be in my place. No it wasn't always like this, But I never saw it comin'. (verse chords) I'm so alone, But this is my home. And the bars that surround me Keep me from knowin' any better, Like a monkey in a zoo. Throw me a peanut. Laugh and make jokes. But I've had enough peanuts And I'm ready to choke, Like a monkey in a zoo (bridge chords) You come to look at me. You seem so amused. But things would look different If you were in my shoes. (verse chords) I know its my fault, But I want out. And when I cry out Nobody seems to understand, Like a monkey in a zoo You say I'm cute. You don't know how much that hurts. You don't know how it feels To live in your own dirt, Like a monkey in a zoo (bridge chords) And it could happen to you. You could be in my place. Don't let yourself slip. Don't keep egg on your face. (verse chords) I used to be happy. I cant remember those days. But I sold my freedom For free room and board, Like a monkey in a zoo. (end on G7) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: hemightbetimmy on October 01, 2006, 07:14:55 PM Wow, this is THE most useful thread in forum history no doubt. Thanks zack.
Now I'd like to request I Remember Painfully and POW. Thank you. PS I apologize for being a noob and requesting something for nothing....I just discovered this place and am blown away by this thread. Plus, you're on a roll here... Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: hemightbetimmy on October 01, 2006, 11:58:18 PM OK, I think I was actually able to figure them out myself from memory....Let me know if this sounds right to you:
Pow: Dm C F Bb F It's an odd and awful way to be Dm C F Bb F it's a happy laughter of the free C F it's a truth and it's a dare C F it's a feeling in the air Dm C F Bb F it's a mother's love for a child etc......... I Remember Painfully: C G I remember how we looked at the embryo in the jar together C G And I remember how we stood talking in the store to each other C It was love G But what is it now C F C F It’s pain (I feel like it modulates here, but I don't really remember. Keeping the same key, I think it just keeps up the C G F thing) C G F C I remember your face and I remember your grace C G C I remember, I remember, I just remember etc.......... Again these are just guesses from memory, I could be in the wrong keys..... Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: doriangray on October 06, 2006, 12:39:42 PM Thanks so much, zack.

F You’re better off to sit at home C G And watch the toilet flush. (same chords for every verse: C G F C G) I like to sit and look at her. I like to do that so much. To stand and act mysterious And to watch her blush. I know I'm such a weird guy. She could never take me serious. There's always that green monkey In around or near us. I think sometimes of holding her, But the picture gets all blurred. I see shadows dancing on my wall. Thoughts scatter like birds. I wish to God i could touch her hand, Somehow make her understand, The man I somehow wanna be, The man I want her to make me. But she stands so distant and rolls her eyes. She leaves me and I don't know why. Nothing seems to make much sense. I cant appreciate the sky. And so I go home lonely, Like a wolf without a pack I got nothing to put my love in, Like groceries without a sack. Maybe someday when she gets fat, She'll think about what she's missed. She'll know shell never get me back. She'll feel just like the pits. She'll sit lonely in her apartment, Thinking about what might have been. She'll know her man had come and went. Maybe she'll take me seriously then. Get attached to a rolling stone And you’re liable to get crushed. You’re better off to sit at home And watch the toilet flush. Fish from Fear Yourself This song has layers of droning open G string guitar parts with single note melodies. They sound great if you have a couple of guitarists and a bass player, but if you just want to play it by yourself, these chords work well. for the G/D chord in the intro X-5-0-0-3-X sounds pretty good Intro: G C G/D C The verses are carried mostly by the bass notes (G-C-D-A) but if you want to play chords over it, these work: G C D Am (4 times) Try aching every care in the world. She's only the most beautiful girl. The more I think it the badder it gets I was just swimming along when I was caught in her net G Em Am D (4 times) She's got me singing with a broken heart I keep on messing with my mind torn apart She's already forgotten, look at me left in the dust I guess my art didn't help very much (chord prog #1) Then the super love got me again Got me dreaming I could almost win I stopped to take a look around with a grin So much turmoil in this crazy town (chord prog #2) She's got me bloody from hitting the bricks Is this the way the girlies get their kicks? And now I see if it makes a difference Everyone in love, hating her & each other (keep alternating between the two chord progressions) Always thinking it's near the end Then I was hoping she'd be my friend Will I forever only wish it again? oh to be alive & free from sin! Psycho love in the Twilight Zone. Drippy soap opera on the telephone. I get so close but I don't belong. Strain to identify with a radio song. Then I see her as if in a dream. It's so real I could almost scream. She's doing a ritual the same for any man, just like a movie it's so deadpan! I hope for true love in the darkness. I had the chance at false romance. Maybe next time I'll look for something new. I'm so ashamed, so unglued. I've had enough & she'll never know. I feel like staying but my subconscious says 'Go'. Shed a tear like blood on the floor It's only love and nothing more She's got me singing with a broken heart I keep on messing with my mind torn apart She's already forgotten, look at me left in the dust I guess my art didn't help very much (Intro chords to end) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: walkhumongous on November 05, 2006, 02:45:56 PM Etiquette Please!

from Continued Story The guitar is tuned a bit low on this song (or the tape speed is off) Try a capo on the first fret. The fret numbers for chords are all counted from the capo.

Anyone know anything about him or his band? Bill was my housemate back in the eighties and he's the person who first introduced me to Daniel. At the time he was playing in a band called Poison 13. For the past few years his main band has been The Meat Purveyors (on Bloodshot Records) but he tends to have several other projects going. He plays in a band called Cat Scientist and I most recently saw him a week ago playing guitar with Jon Langford of Mekons and Waco Brothers fame. Bill has also toured with Neko Case. A nice guy and a very versatile guitarist so he stays busy. Title: Re: Etiquette tab Post by: zack26 on November 07, 2006, 06:39:00 PM Thanks Jeff!

Perhaps Kicking the Dog, It's Spooky, If I'd Only Known. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: patrick1986 on November 09, 2006, 05:43:25 PM Could anyone give me the chords for Some Things Last A Long Time? I absolutely love Daniel's version; it is so raw and innocent. One of my favorite bands, Built To Spill, did a cover of it on their album The Normal Years and it is really good. If anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it immensely. Thanks.
Title: Tabs from "It's Spooky" Post by: zack26 on November 11, 2006, 09:38:06 AM It’s Spooky
from Jad Fair and Daniel Johnston: It’s Spooky The guitar is fairly out of tune on this whole album. If you haven’t listened to this song on headphones, check out the panning. A x-0-2-2-2-0 D x-0-0-2-3-2 Intro: pick the highest 3 strings of the D chord from high to low A D (throughout the whole song) Sometimes when I’m watching television And I think that most of the people in the movie Are probably dead And it’s spooky And when I go to a funeral See the people weeping And the body in the casket It’s spooky And in the Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon I always wondered how it was That he died And it’s spooky It’s spooky Ooooo Something’s happening in the world The heavy metal bands… If I’d Only Known (J. Fair) from Jad Fair and Daniel Johnston: It’s Spooky same chords as “It’s Spooky” A D (throughout the whole song) If I’d only known I could have said something sooner But I didn’t, so I didn’t, now it’s done The last thing I’d do was the first thing you did What we once had is all gone I see it all a little too clear Too clear for my own good Let sleeping dogs lie is a good rule I’m told I only wish that they would If I’d only known I could-a said something sooner I really did think it would last Now it’s too late, it’s over and now My future is all in my past Kicking The Dog (McCarty/Beattie/Lane/Cameron) from Jad Fair and Daniel Johnston: It’s Spooky Guitar chords if you need them: C x-3-2-0-1-0 F/C x-3-3-2-1-1 F 1-3-3-2-1-1 G 3-2-0-0-0-1 or 3-5-5-4-3-3 Piano voicings (RH= right hand, LH = left hand; notes are listed from low to high): C LH: C-G / RH: C-E-G F/C LH: C-A / RH: C-F-A F LH: F-C-F (lower octave) / RH: C-F-A G LH: G-D-G (lower octave) / RH: D-G-B Usually the left hand is playing the chords on straight quarter notes. The right hand plays the chords on beat one. Kicking The Dog C F/C (one chord per bar – 6 times) I want to know where she goes I want to know what she does I wonder who are these people She likes so much better than me She feels bad enough Things did not work out F/C C And when she sees me F/C C And she lets her guard down F She’s kicking the dog, she’s doing wrong She’s kicking the dog, she’s doing wrong G And it doesn’t help anyone No not at all C F/C (one chord per bar) I said I had a girlfriend Made me scared of the world The way it sounds when I wrote it down Makes her hate that girl I turned myself inside out to Put the blame on her F/C C And when she sees me F/C C And she lets her guard down F She’s kicking the dog, she’s doing wrong She’s kicking the dog, she’s doing wrong G And it doesn’t help anyone No not at all C F/C (one chord per bar) We walk around and try to talk But I’m just twisting her arm To try and get what I want I just don’t know When to stop F/C C I’m twisting her broken arm F/C C I’m twisting her broken arm F I’m kicking the dog, I’m doing wrong We’re kicking the dog, we’re doing wrong G And it doesn’t help anyone No not at all C F/C (one chord per bar) Kicking the dog We’re kicking the dog Kicking the dog Stop kicking the dog end on C7 Title: "Some Things Last a Long Time" Piano tab Post by: zack26 on November 11, 2006, 12:54:38 PM Some Things Last A Long Time
from 1990 Hopefully this makes sense. Piano voicings (RH= right hand, LH = left hand; notes are listed from low to high, i.e. c-e-g is a C chord): Verse progression 1 1 2 + 3 4 | 1 2 + 3 4 | RH: c-e-a c-e-g f-a-d f-a-c LH: c-a c-g c-g f-d f-c f-c Verse progression 2 (both hands play same thing an octave apart) Beat: 1 2 + 3 4 | 1 2 + 3 4 | RH: c-a c-g c-f c-e c-f c-g LH: c-a c-g c-f c-e c-f c-g Beat: 1 2 + 3 4 | 1 2 + 3 4 | RH: f-d f-c f-b f-c f-d f-c LH: f-d f-c f-b f-c f-d f-c Note: On the second verse he plays the second line slightly different: Beat: 1 2 + 3 4 | 1 2 + 3 4 | RH: f-d f-c f-b f-a f-b f-c LH: f-d f-c f-b f-a f-b f-c Chorus Beat: 1 2 + 3 4 | 1 2 + 3 4 | RH: g-b-d g-b-d f-a-c f-a-c LH: g-d g-d g-d f-c f-c f-c Beat: 1 2 + 3 4 | 1 2 + 3 4 | RH: c-e-g LH: c (low) c c c c c Some Things Last a Long Time (verse progression 1) Your picture is still on my wall on my wall The colors are bright bright as ever (verse progression 2) The red is strong The blue is pure (Chorus) Some things last a long time Some things last a long time Your picture is still on my wall on my wall I think about you often often I won’t forget all the things we did Some things last a long time Some things last a long time It’s funny but it’s true And it’s true but it’s not funny Time comes and goes all of the while I still think of you Some things last a long time Your picture is still on my wall on my wall The colors are bright bright as ever The things we did I can’t forget Some things last a lifetime Some things last a lifetime Some things last a lifetime (end on verse progression 1 last chord is same a first chord but up an octave) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: patrick1986 on November 11, 2006, 07:34:40 PM Thank you for the response. I don't play piano, but I was wondering if you could transcribe the chords so I could play it on guitar? It seems like it would be an easy one to play on guitar.

from 1990 Guitar version. I tried to maintain the simplicity of the piano part for this tab. Playing with fingers instead of a pick may make this easier.

Re: Etiquette « Reply #4 on: April 18, 2005, 07:34:42 PM » recording etiquette was pretty amazing and really showed me how talented daniel really was at the time (around '85). i had gone over to hang out with him in his tiny dorm room that was filled with records, tapes, comic books, and drawings. i picked up his nylon string guitar and started playing around and daniel picked up this book--some '50s self-help-style book that he got out of a dumpster--and started reading out of it. after about 10 seconds he turned on his jambox and told me to start over. i didn't know what the words would be, and he didn't know exactly what i would play, but he followed me perfectly as he read the words straight out of the book, turning them into a song spontaneously. you can hear him mispronounce the word "contagious" the first time, then get it right the second time. at the end of song you can hear me laughing in amazement at how perfectly we ended the song. the whole process of composing and recording took maybe five minutes. i've been in bands with a lot of talented people, but i've never known anyone with such a grasp of melody. the guy has trunks full of melodies!

If you start with the right hand on the notes g-c-e then the melody e-d-c falls into place.

C F C G G7 C She knows all the scuttlebutt about the whatnot C F C G G7 That she doesn't want forgot. C F C G G7 C Rumor is a wind that blows so smart, C F C G It doesn't even know who you are. (continue same progression) She's standing there waiting at the top of the stairs with her eyes fixed on you like glue. "Where are you going now? Where-a you been'? What is your latest sin?" F She's into the big time. C C7 She reads the national enquirer. F She stretches the truth with such imagination C C7 She's more of a writer than a liar. She's always ready for the worst of news, And she's hopin' it may be you. She knows all the scuttle-butt about the whatnot That she doesn't want forgot.

I don't have a keyboard so will have to attempt it on guitar, and although it won't be the same, I love this song. Everytime I hear it, I get shivers down my spine ... Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Yip/Jordyn on January 23, 2007, 07:28:42 PM I think it would be cool if these songs were added to the rejected unknown tabs/chords section. It would improve the site and make things more organized. It's all here though, but just a suggestion. It would be nice to have the tabs more accessable, although it might be because I'm lazy (oh yea).
Either way, thank you Zak, It feels great to play my favorite songs! Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on January 24, 2007, 05:15:38 AM I agree... it's hard to find stuff within the thread. I sent a bunch in for the "Don't Be Scared" tape a while ago but they were never added - maybe I just need to send them again.
Syrup of Tears - Songs Of Pain tabs are done - sorry I'm being lazy about getting them up on the board. Typing it all it in and making everything line up is a tedious process... I'll get them up soon, though... There are a few other tabs scattered around in different threads - I'll see if I can re-post them here.

Going Down (thanks to Peter Holy for lyrics) I found that drop-D tuning works really well for this song (tune the sixth string down to D). It allows you to get a fuller sound during the chorus. Chords used in this arrangement (in drop-D tab). “X” indicates a muted (blocked out) string.

Cold Hard World (thanks to Peter Holy for lyrics and Jimmy Nothin' and Tim L for corrections) The last chord of the progression is sometimes G, and sometimes G7. It’s not really predictable, but the G7 tends to happen during the refrain. Standard chords work well here. I’ve also included a drop-D tuning that allows you to get a similar voicing as the piano chords (the D major in particular) Drop-D variation. Tune low string down to D. C X-3-2-0-1-0 D 0-0-4-2-3-X or 0-0-4-2-3-2 G 5-5-0-0-0-1 (the thumb is an option for the fifth fret strings) Cold Hard World C D G(7) C | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | C D G(7) | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | It's a cold hard world It's a cold hard world It's a cold hard world Oh no C D G(7) C | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | repeat I heard Red Donley say It was on the news today It's a cold hard world It's a cold hard world It's hiking across the country Looking for a bite to eat You'd be surprised at the animals And the people you'd meet Rolling down that highway With eyes fixed straight ahead They have a caravan of cars To bury the dead C D G(7) C | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | C D G(7) | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | And coke cans and pop bottles Lined the streets like flowers instead And this guy gave me a ride I said this industrial waste sure stinks He said he likes that smell 'Cause that's the smell of money I said "well, mister money stinks, too."

I’ve included several chord options – I know some people have trouble barring (including the man himself!) so there are some easier alternatives. Mix and match… Chord suggestions: Bbmaj7 X-1-3-2-3-1 (bar 1st) 6-8-7-7-6-X (either bar at 6th or grab the low string with thumb) X-8-7-7-6-X (a little easier) X-X-3-2-3-1 (easier, no barring, but also no bass note) Abmaj7 4-6-5-5-4-X (either bar at the 4th or grab the low string with thumb) X-6-5-5-4-X (a little easier) X-X-1-0-1-X (really easy, just make sure you only play those 3 strings!) A7 5-7-5-6-5-5 (bar 5th) or X-0-2-0-2-0 D7 X-5-7-5-7-5 (bar 5th) or X-X-0-2-1-2 G7 3-5-3-4-3-3 (bar 3rd) or 3-2-0-0-0-1 C7 X-3-2-3-1-0 I Had A Dream Intro Bbmaj7 Abmaj7 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Verse Bbmaj7 Abmaj7 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Bbmaj7 Abmaj7 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | (slightly faster) A7 D7 G7 C7 Abmaj7 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | I had a dream about you You were the queen of quite a few And I was there, but you didn’t care I didn’t matter somehow. The band played and you sang a tune And the stars fell down from the moon And you smiled a smile that parted the sea But you didn’t notice me…no. Your eyes filled up the sky and they were blue And you had a weird monkey there with you too And you danced a jig and tipped his hat And you turned around with a grin so fat And he was me. (in the next verse the A7-D7-G7-C7 progression repeats before going to Abmaj7) There were lights and cameras and fireworks going off in your honor And I was worried, But a man said “Don’t worry, nothing can harm her” And I grabbed the microphone and I stood all alone And I looked up at you, and you looked down on me And then you said “Off with his head”. I had a dream about you The Story of An Artist (thanks to Tim Layton for lyrics) If you just want to strum the chords, then this tab works well. Use either Dm or Dm7 C X-3-2-0-1-0 Dm X-0-0-2-3-1 or Dm7 X-0-0-2-1-1 C Listen up and I'll tell a story Dm(7) About an artist growing old Some would try for fame and glory C Others aren't so bold …and so on If you want to play the piano melody on guitar this works pretty well. 1 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 4 E------------------------| followed by C chord B------0--1--0-----------| G---------------0--------| D------------------2-----|--2-- A---------------------3--| E------------------------| 1 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 4 E------------------------| followed by Dm or Dm7 B------0--1--0-----------| G---------------0--------| D------------------2--0--|--3-- A------------------------| E------------------------| Then repeat them in reverse. The whole progression is C - Dm(7) -Dm(7) – C Note: sometimes the Dm(7) lick has one note different. 1 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 4 E------------------------| followed by Dm or Dm7 B------0--1--0-----------| G---------------1--------| D------------------2--0--|--3-- A------------------------| E------------------------| I like using a drop-D tuning on this one with these chords. C X-3-2-0-1-0 Dm 0-0-3-2-3-1 or Dm7 0-0-3-2-1-1 For piano players: The melody before the C chord is b-c-b-g-e-c-e The melody before the Dm7 chord is b-c-b-g-e-d-f and sometimes b-c-b-a-e-d-f The Story Of An Artist C Dm(7) | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Dm(7) C | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | Listen up and I'll tell a story About an artist growing old Some would try for fame and glory Others aren't so bold Everyone and friends and family Saying, "Hey!

Listen up and I'll tell a story About an artist growing old Some would try for fame and glory Others aren't so bold The artist walks alone Someone says behind his back, "He's got his gall to call himself that! He doesn't even know where he's at!" The artist walks among the flowers Appreciating the sun He does this all his waking hours But is it really so wrong? They sit in front of their TV Saying, "Hey! This is fun!" And they laugh at the artist Saying, "He doesn't know how to have fun." The best things in life are truly free Singing birds and laughing bees "You've got me wrong", says he. "The sun don't shine in your TV" Listen up and I'll tell a story About an artist growing old Some would try for fame and glory Others aren't so bold Everyone, and friends and family Saying, "Hey! Get a job!" "Why do you only do that only? Why are you so odd? We don't really like what you do. We don't think anyone ever will. It's a problem that you have, And this problem's made you ill."

Use the thumb to fret the low note and mute the fifth string.

This song only uses four strings and requires a good deal of retuning. Comparing to a keyboard or some other instrument makes tuning a bit easier. Use only the four highest strings. D string (4th) – tune up to a note between E and F (pretty tight!) G String (3rd) – tune up to a note between G and G# B string (2nd) – tune down to a note between G# and A E string (1st) – tune down to about an A (way down…) I found the 4 individual plucked notes at the beginning and ending of the song really useful for checking the tuning. They should correspond to your four detuned open strings. All the chords are straight bar chords across the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd strings (sometimes he bars across all four...) I named the cords after the barred fret. So, b2 means X-X-2-2-2-X or X-X-2-2-2-2 b3 means X-X-3-3-3-X or X-X-3-3-3-3 etc… "R" means rest - in this case an eighth note rest I'd be curious to hear if anyone tries this out. This would sound best on a beat up nylon string guitar...

I don't play guitar (can't read tabs either) but am planning to remake this with some hard synth. Thanks again! I just banged it out on the piano - these piano chords replicate the guitar part pretty well. Try playing a single note melody with the left hand: Left Hand Verse: e - e - f# - e - g - e - g#- a With the right hand play two-note half-step clusters. "g/g#" means play g and g# together Right Hand Verse: g/g# - g/g# - a/a# - g/g# - a#/b - g/g# - b/c - c/c# If you play these left and right hand parts together, it sounds pretty cool... For the chorus try these left hand and right hand parts together RH: c/c# - c/c# (rest) - (rest) b/c - b/c - (rest) - (rest) LH: a - a - e - e - g# - g# - e - e (repeat 6 times) then... RH: c#/d - c#/d - c#/d - c#/d - c#/d - c#/d - c#/d - c#/d LH a# - a# - a# - a# - a# - a# - a# - a# RH: c/c#- c/c# - rest - b/c - rest - a#/b - rest - a/a# LH: a - a - rest - g# - rest - g - rest - f# Good luck!

Also, does anyone know the chords for Polka Dot Rag and Hate Song? I've always been confused as to which song is "Polka Dot Rag" on The What of Whom. There's the song with the lyrics "You are the moon, you are the stars" and then there's one after it that starts "She said that didn't really love me, not like she loved him" The CD-R has both songs on a single track labelled "Polka Dot Rag" and the brief piano track before it as "Excuse Me". But on the RU website the same "You are the moon" lyrics were submitted for both Excuse Me and Polka Dot Rag.lyrics. I can't think of any examples of any instumental piano track that were actually titled. I've always figured that "Excuse Me" was "You are the moon" and Polka Dot Rag was "She said that she didn't really love me" and that the CDR was mis-tracked, but I've never known for sure. Anyone know for sure? Which one did you want the tab for? Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on January 27, 2007, 06:15:56 AM Hate Song

I can't find tabs for that song anywhere. A Little Bit Of Soap (by Bert Berns) This song is in the key of B on the recording, but I'm guessing that he played it in C, and that there was a tape speed problem somewhere along the way. If you want to play along with the recording in B, substitute these chords: Play B and B7 instead of C and C7 Play E instead of F Play F# instead of G Play C#7 instead of D7 The C7 chord after the word “soap” is really just a single note “Bb”, but the full chord works just fine too (or “A” if you’re playing the version in B) C C7 A little bit of soap F G Will wash away your lipstick C On my face C7 But a little bit of soap F D7 G Will never, never erase C The pain in my heart C7 And my eyes F As I go through the lonely years C A little bit of soap G C Will never wash away my tears C C7 A little bit of soap F G Will wash away your powder C from my chin C7 But a little bit of soap F D7 G Will never, never begin C C7 To take away the hurt that I feel F As I go through the lonely year C A little bit of soap G C Will never wash away my tears C Have you heard F When love begins to die G G7 It leaves someone to cry C Night and day Like a bird F You left the robin's nest G And just like all the rest C You flew away C7 A little bit of soap F G Will take away your perfume C Eventually C7 A little bit of soap F D7 G Will never wash away the memory C C7 Of your name in the night F That I’ll call through the lonely years C A little bit of soap G C Will never wash away my tears Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: MuchPerplexed on February 09, 2007, 08:49:04 PM Zack, your tabs and chords rock and i really appreciate all your effort.

This is the long-winded overly-anal version - but I feel it's a song worth getting right. I have a couple of different guitar versions I'll be posting in the near future. This one attempts to get as close to the original as possible. Email me with any questions about this one. This songs sounds in C# on Hi, HowAreYou but I’m 99.9% certain he played it in C and it’s just another one of those tape speed things. On Frankenstein Love he plays it in C as well. Piano Chords (I tried to get a close to DJ’s voicings as possible) LH = left hand; RH = right hand; notes in chords are listed low to high C LH: c/g; RH: c/e/g C6 LH: c/a; RH: c/e/a F LH: f/c; RH: f/a/c F6 LH: f/d; RH: f/a/d FM7 LH: f/c; RH: f/a/c/e Dm LH: d/a; RH: d/f/a Dm7 LH: d/a; RH: d/f/a/c Am LH: a; RH: c/e/a Em LH: e; RH: b/e/g G LH: g/d; RH: g/b/d Most all chords are played in eighth notes. The “lucky stars” rhythm is played by breaking up the three note chords in the right hand into 1 lower note and two upper notes. For instance, the C6 chord on the word “eyes” has c/e/a in the right hand. Instead of just playing those three notes together, break up the chord into c (thumb) and e/a. The C chord would be divided in the same way: c and e/g. The organ lick goes | 1 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 2 + 3 + 4 + | RH: e/a c e/a c e/a c e/g c e/g c e/g c LH: c/a-------------------------- c/g------------------------------- etc. Walking The Cow | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | repeat C C6 C C6 Try to remember C C6 But my feelings can’t know for sure F F6 I try to reach out C6 C But it’s gone FM7 C6 C C6 C Lucky stars in your eyes 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | RH: f/a/e----------- f/a/d-------- f/a/c--------f/a/b-------- LH: f/c-------------- f/d---------- f/c----------f/b-------- I am walking the cow C6 C C6 C Dm Dm7 Am Em I really don’t know how I came here Dm Am7 Em I really don’t know why I’m staying here Dm7 Oh oh oh oh oh G (into solo) I am walking the cow Solo | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | RH: g e g e g e g a g a g a g e g e g e g e g a g a g a g a LH: c/g----------- c/a-----------c/g--------------c/a------------- | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | RH: f a c a e f g f c a g e LH: f/c-------------f/d------------ f/e-------------- f/f-------------- | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | RH: g e g e g e g g a g a g a g a g e g e g e g e g a g a g a g a LH: c/g-------------c/a------------ c/g------------c/a------------- | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | RH: c c a g f g a e f g f c LH: f/c--------------f/d------------ f/e------------ f/f-------------- | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | RH: g e g e g e g e g a g a g a g a g e g e g e g e g a g a g a g a LH: c/g------------- c/a----------- c/g--------- c/a------------- C C6 C C6 C C6 Try to point my finger C C6 But the wind is blowing me around F F6 In circles C6 C Circles FM7 C6 C C6 C Lucky stars in your eyes 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | RH: f/a/e----------- f/a/d-------- f/a/c--------f/a/b-------- LH: f/c-------------- f/d---------- f/c----------f/b-------- I am walking the cow C6 C C6 C Dm Am Em I really don’t know what I have to fear Dm Am Em I really don’t know why I have to care Dm Dm7 Oh oh oh oh oh G C C6 C C6 C C6 I am walking the cow FM7 C6 FM7 C6 FM7 C6 Lucky stars FM7 C6 (melody on last chord: c-b-g-e-f-g) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: doriangray on March 05, 2007, 02:11:27 AM You're my hero, Zack.

There are a couple of strings tuned to nearly the same pitch. I came up with two tabs: The first one is in the key of the recording, which is bit fast (then again the guitar is completely detuned...). The second one is transposed down a half step and allows you to use the open string as the drone note. Much easier in general. Hopefully all of this stuff lines up - it looked good on my computer.

Thank you! :-D Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Palamabron on June 20, 2007, 08:41:08 AM Hi all. New Here.
i'm learning to play the autoharp, and as i was doing a exercise in my instruction book, i realised i was doing the chord progression to "Peek-A-Boo."
This is one of my favorite Daniel Johnston songs, so i was hoping some folks more musical than myself could help me figure out the rest of the chords. The refrain "Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself" is different from that progression, as is the bridge: I'm just saying how I feel. Maybe you could try to understand. I'm a man who needs you. Any help would be very much appreciated. Don't worry about whether they're autoharp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoharp) chords; if they're not they'll at least point me in the right direction. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on June 20, 2007, 09:13:18 AM Peek-a-boo
Intro (and after every chorus): G Emin G Emin When I’m down, really down C D D7 Nothing matters, nothing does G Emin I close my eyes and go to sleep C D D7 But I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep G C G Please hear my cry for help D G And save me from myself Junior high, I lost my mind I don’t know why, it’s a terrible thing Since that day it’s been a struggle Trying to make sense out of scrambled eggs Please hear my cry for help And save me from myself I painted a bar and I never got paid In a town where everyone was unemployed I was locked in on Easter Day All I had to eat was a piece of bread When I got home my mother said, “You’re a lazy bum and that’s how come You suffer like that, and you’ll starve All your life, all your life” Spoken just like it was a curse But it didn’t really sound so bad I like to make things up It’s the healthiest thing that I do But I’m tired from being kidnapped By a dark wolf that would do me in Please hear my cry for help And save me from myself C D G I’m just saying how I feel C D G C Maybe you could try to understand G C G I’m a man who needs you (G Emin like intro) When I’m down, really down Nothing matters, nothing does I close my eyes and go to sleep But I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep You can listen to these songs Have a good time and walk away But for me it’s not that easy I have to live these songs forever Please hear my cry for help And save me from myself Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on June 20, 2007, 09:51:26 AM Anyone have the chords to "Unpack Your Adjectives"? Thank you! :-D Unpack Your Adjectives Eb Ab Bb Got home from camping last spring. Eb Ab Bb Saw people, places and things. Eb Ab We barely had arrived, Db Gb Friends asked us to describe B Bb The people, places and every last thing. Eb Ab Bb So we unpacked our adjectives. I unpacked "frustrating" first. Reached in and found the word "worst". Then I picked "soggy" and Next I picked "foggy" and Then I was ready to tell them my tale. 'Cause I'd unpacked my adjectives. Bb A Ab G F#7 G7 (four times) Adjectives are words you use to really describe things, Handy words to carry around. Ab7 A7 (four times) Days are sunny or they're rainy Boys are dumb or else they're brainy Adjectives can show you which way. Bb7 B7 (four times) Adjectives are often used to help us compare things, To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall. C7 Db7 (four times) Girls who are tall can get taller, Boys who are small can get smaller, Till one is the tallest And the other's the smallest of all. We hiked along without care. Then we ran into a bear. He was a hairy bear, He was a scary bear, We beat a hasty retreat from his lair. And described him with adjectives. [spoken]That was one big, ugly bear! [spoken] You can even make adjectives out of the other parts of speech, like verbs or nouns. All you have to do is tack on an ending like "-ic" or "-ish" or "-ary". For example, this girl can grow up to be a beautiful woman – but still have a girlish face. "Girl" is a noun, but the ending "-ish" makes it an adjective - girlish. That describes the beautiful woman's face, get it? Next time you go on a trip, Remember this little tip: The minute you get back, They'll ask you this and that, You can describe people, places and things... Simply unpack your adjectives. You can do it with adjectives. Tell them 'bout it with adjectives. You can shout it with adjectives.

Title: Re: "Nothing" Post by: zack26 on July 01, 2007, 06:36:46 AM The lyrics to 'Nothing' and the chords, so I can maybe learn it on piano? I'm not sure I got all of the lyrics right... feel free to submit any corrections Nothing from Why Me? G D Not that you want to be out of curiosity Em C Just a corsage of the world G Am I was in love with a girl C D D7 I would the violence foresee (G D Em C G Am C D D7 is the same for every verse) All that it ought to be Blessed by generosity Sure do put your heart in a whirl Stop to pick up a dollar bill As the blood drips at the mill Have you got fried chicken? You ate it up so fast Layed down his life just for you Now you have nothing to do Just a television tube Though for goodness sake And the love you make Skipping stones at the lake You’ve got a half-baked idea To think we’d be so glad to see ya Lost in your lonely room How they grow up and bloom Young girls in the magazine How they took part in your doom Babies step out of the womb Hunger and lust for life She was like any housewife Darning the socks with concern Glad you ever were born Just to get up in the morn Though all the while you were Surrounded by amateurs Crazier than love shows insane Thinking your hope was refrained And the emotional pain Nothing to do but cry As you dry your eyes Watching the soap opera die Longing for the freedom of success When we’re all just a temporary guest Living in such a mess I’ll bring you back again Just like you used to have been How could really win Punching your existence to sin We’ll drive in the twilight You think will make it right There’s nothing left but nothing But an empty song Why did it have to go wrong? How it all works out Something about it so Thinking that love is a crime You were a friend of mine Standing there at missed time You’re gonna make it Joe Love is sure to follow Happy to be that way Tomorrow is a brand new day What do you have to say? Nothing Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Beef Crisps on July 16, 2007, 11:49:00 AM Top stuff mate, although I always heard this lyric:

Zack, how about true grief or come back (from it's spooky). I love Come Back, and it seems simple enough, but everything on that album is so out of tune. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on August 01, 2007, 07:52:20 AM Wow this thread has gotten huge! Zack, how about true grief or come back (from it's spooky). I love Come Back, and it seems simple enough, but everything on that album is so out of tune. Come Back from It's Spooky The guitar on Come Back is tuned down roughly a whole step (D-G-C-F-A-D) and is then played using these chords. C X-3-2-0-1-0 (sounds as Bb) F/A X-0-3-2-1-1 (sounds as Eb/G) A X-0-2-2-X-X (sounds as G) These are the chords I put in the tab. If you don’t want to retune you can play it with a capo on the 3rd fret using these chords instead (fret numbers are counted from the capo). It will sound pretty much the same. G 3-2-0-0-0-X (sounds as Bb) C/E 0-3-2-0-1-0 (sounds as Eb/G) E 0-2-2-X-X-X (sounds as G) Come Back C I took a wrong turn of events F/A C I made a wrong fork at the situation C I took a wrong turn of events F/A I made a wrong fork at the situation C I’ve been talking to you in your absence F/A And I’ve fabricated quite a turn of events C I always knew it would come to this F/A I always knew it would come to this A Come back, come back into his hands His every wish is your command Come back, come back into Satan’s arms I won’t shield you from the evil And I love all your songs (as before C F/A C F/A) I’ve been talking to you in my absence And your narrow path has made sense of it all I always knew it would come to this I always knew it would come to this A I make up what I believe I don’t believe what you believe Come back, come back to Austin, Texas Satan wants you and he loves all your songs (as before C F/A C F/A) You reach through 200 miles of your own music noise So dear and so quiet Like bells across water Like lying in the darkness A Come back, come back into his hands His every wish is your command Come back, come back into Satan’s arms I can’t shield you from evil But I love all your songs Oh Danny Boy, the old serpent’s calling Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on August 01, 2007, 10:09:49 AM how about true grief True Grief Daniel usually throws in bass note runs connecting the chords in the verses: C (bass: C-C-D-D#) E7 (bass: E-E-D-C) Am D7 (bass: D-Db) C E7 Once upon a stage Am D7 An evening of praise C E7 the public has come to see Am D7 the saddest singer C F C F (continue C E7 Am D7 progression) And he's playing, playing the song and it's a classic and his fingers, fingers are bleeding and his heart is aching out loud C F C F And the people are clapping and clapping and clapping and clapping C F C F and the song he is playing just goes on and on and on (continue C F C F) and it seems like it will never stop then everybody gets up and does a hop - yeah C F7 C F7 (solo around notes C-Eb-F) (verse: C E7 Am D7) Then the entertainer chained to the piano gives a nervous grin to the massive crowd C F C F He says here's one about the day I really broke my heart (continue C F C F) and he sheds a tear, the audience applauds everyone shouting - he's so sincere I can't believe he's here C E7 Then he does his famous Am D7 (bass: D-C-B-A) song of sorrow C F C F and his melody of pain D Daug and he bows G Gaug and the curtain falls C E7 And the white in his eyes Am D is reflecting light from the ceiling C E7 as he prays alone Am D a silent prayer to his lover C whom he lost E7 whom he sings about Am D whom he thinks about all the time Am E he sits for a little bit Am D Daug G and then he writes another hit - ohhhh C F7 C F7 (solo to end) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: hemightbetimmy on August 03, 2007, 05:44:44 PM Holy crap!

You know, you should start a website with all these tabs and let people upload their own to fill out the rest of daniel's catalogue. It would be like ween's Awsome Sound site. http://www.toddhorton.net/ween/ How about Chords of Fame? Thanks for being the ultimate online resource for DJ tabs. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on August 05, 2007, 12:30:14 PM One of my favorites by Phil Ochs from his "Greatest Hits" LP (not really a greatest hits - just Ochs poking fun at his own lack of popularity, record sales, and of course, hits). The cover has Ochs in an Elvis gold lame suit - the back reads "50 Phil Ochs Fans Can't Be Wrong!" I'm currently obsessed with his music. If you haven't listened to him he's definitely worth checking out - especially "Pleasures from the Harbor", "Tape From California", "Rehearsals for Retirement", and "Greatest Hits"
Jad and Daniel changed the chord progression and also a few lyrics (as expected). I threw the chords to the original Phil Ochs version just for fun) The wiki site is good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Ochs Chords of Fame (Phil Ochs) (“Act Naturally” by Morrison/Russell) (Capo 3rd fret) G C G G I found him by the stage last night C G He was breathing his last breath A needle full of heroin C D was all that he had left G I can see that you make music C D Cause you carry your guitar G But God help the troubadour Em Who tries to be a star G C G So play the chords of love my friends G C G Play the chords of fame G C But if you want to keep your songs G C D Don’t, don’t, don’t G C G Don’t play the chords of fame (verse chords) I’ve seen my share of hustlers As they try to take the world When they find their melody They’re surrounded by the girls But it all fades so quickly Like a sunny summer day Reporters ask you questions They write down what you say (chorus chords) So play the chords of love my friends Play the chords of fame But if you want to keep your songs Don’t, don’t, don’t Don’t play the chords of fame (verse chords) They’ll rob you of your innocence They’ll put you up for sale The more that you will find success The more that you will fail I’ve been around, I’ve had my share And I really can’t complain But I wonder who I left behind The other side of fame (chorus chords) So play the chords of love my friends Play the chords of fame But if you want to keep your songs Don’t, don’t, don’t Don’t play the chords of fame G C They’re gonna put me in the movies G D They’re gonna make a big star out of me G C I’ll play the part and I won’t rehearsing G D G C G C G C Em Cause all I gotta do is act naturally Chords of Fame Original version by Phil Ochs E I found him by the stage last night D A He was breathing his last breath E A bottle of wine and a cigarette D A Was all that he had left A I can see you make the music D E ’cause you carry a guitar A God help the troubadour F#m G Who tries to be a star A G A So play the chords of love, my friend A G A Play the chords of pain A D A If you want to keep your song, A E Don’t, don’t, don’t A G A Don’t play the chords of fame Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: hemightbetimmy on August 05, 2007, 10:16:02 PM Thanks again. I didn't even know that was a cover.
All I know about Phil Ochs is that on the day he and Marvin Gay got married, the trees all waved their giant arms and happiness bled from every street corner and biplanes bombed with fluffy pillows. Actually that's just a song by They Might Be Giants.....but its the only other time I've heard his name. I would request another song, but I feel guilty - like I should be paying you or something.

Thanks, I couldn't figure the chords out.. Just Like A Widow Another victim of screwy tape speed… the recording is in the key of Ab, but he most likely played it in G. I’m posting chords in both keys. Here’s the left hand bass part on the piano (verses). g-d means play g and d together: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + RH (Chords) G | D LH (Notes) g-d g-d g-e g-e g-f g-f g-e g-e | d-a d-a d-b d-b d-c d-c d-b d-b 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + RH (Chords) F | C LH (Notes) f-c f-c f-b f-b f-a f-a f-b f-b | c-g c-g c-a c-a c-b c-b c-a c-a Just Like A Widow (in G as originally played) G/F (G chord in right hand, left hand bass note F) G D F C (see above) G D He's got tracks down his face F C Where his tears dropped G D Got a stain on his shirt F C Where his heart bleeds C D Just like he’s a widow Em C His poor heart has died C D His mind is like jello Em C In the ghetto of love C C G C C G C C G C C G/F G/F G D F C (see above) G D It’ll work out F C Everything does G D But if it doesn’t work out F C It’s only because (same as before) Just like he’s a widow His poor heart has died His mind is like jello In the ghetto of love Just Like A Widow (in Ab as sound on recording) Ab/Gb (Ab chord in right hand, left hand bass note Gb) Ab Ed Gb Db Ab Eb He's got tracks down his face Gb Db Where his tears dropped Ab Eb Got a stain on his shirt Gb Db Where his heart bleeds Db Eb Just like he’s a widow Fm Db His poor heart has died Db Eb His mind is like jello Fm Db In the ghetto of love Db Db Ab Db Db Ab Db Db Ab Db Db Ab/Gb Ab Eb Gb Db Ab Eb It’ll work out Gb Db Everything does Ab Eb But if it doesn’t work out Gb Db It’s only because (same as before) Just like he’s a widow His poor heart has died His mind is like jello In the ghetto of love Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: hemightbetimmy on August 29, 2007, 04:19:29 PM Hi Zack! You rule, obviously.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on August 31, 2007, 07:25:03 AM Can I request the song "Fighting with Myself"? As always... the recording speed is off. Daniel played it in C, but the recording is in C#. I'm posting chords in C. I had a couple of places where I wasn't sure about lyrics - I put them in brackets. Please post any corrections... Fighting With Myself C G7 I was shadow boxing C E And my shadow punched back A Dm Can you imagine B Em Dm G7 My surprise C G7 Then I got to thinking C E If there’s something I don’t know A Dm Something inside of me B Em Dm G7 That I’m trying to hide C G7 Fighting with myself C I may never win G7 But I’ll never stop E When did I begin? F C G7 Till I can rest [these feet] Verse chords: C G7 C E A Dm B Em Dm G7 I looked in the mirror And I wasn’t there [Then I was] I wondering where I could be now So I sat in a chair And tried to relax But I really Don’t know how Chorus chords: C G7 C G7 E F C G7 Fighting with myself I may never win But I’ll never stop When did I begin? Till I can rest [these feet] Verse chords: C G7 C E A Dm B Em Dm G7 Sometimes I feel Like I could get along But it always ends In tears Sometimes I feel Like I could be happy But I always find Something to fear Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: silver on September 10, 2007, 01:30:33 AM ZACK!! you are on a roll! Can you do "Death" from Why me? I't can't be that hard. It's the same through the whole song.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on September 10, 2007, 04:32:21 AM Zach, you got the first line wrong with the lyrics. He says, "He's got tracks down his face", not "Black tracks down his face". What do you think he was wearing make-up or something? lol Actually, that was exactly the image that came to mind. Doesn't make any sense, I agree. I fixed the lyrics - thanks! Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on September 11, 2007, 06:44:25 AM Can you do "Death" from Why me? I't can't be that hard. It's the same through the whole song. I love this song. Death from Why Me? and Lucky Sperms: Somewhat Humorous G C E C D E D C E D C E G C E I wanted to be free C D E But there was nothing left of me D C E I saw the emptiness in her eyes D C E Though I had to leave, something inside told me E C A It hurts to be alone E C A It hurts to be alone Em Am C You might as well just worry yourself D E A D A E to death D E A D A E death (all verses and choruses the same as above) I found that loneliness makes me ill Till I thought I could reach out to some girl Like the girlie on TV Like a magazine that smiles at me But it hurts to be alone It hurts to be alone You might just worry yourself to death death Way out in the deep blue sea The fish swim like a family The big fish eat the little fish Till the bigger fish eat the bigger fish And it hurts to be alone It hurts to be alone You might just worry yourself to death death I only wanted to be free But the world was like a prison to me When you all alone in the darkness you can’t see Maybe you can get the gist of me ‘Cause it hurts to be alone It hurts to be alone You might just worry yourself to death death I was wondering what the afterlife was like Somehow you’ll get your reward Pillow for your head, whatever you want Free refills of your great love soda ‘Cause it hurts to be alone It hurts to be alone You might just worry yourself to death death Somewhere in the future I might not be there I plan to live forever if I dare I need to happy, I need your affection I need the kisses I‘ve been missing ‘Cause it hurts to be alone It hurts to be alone You might just scare yourself to death death Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: silver on September 12, 2007, 11:33:38 PM thx your the best.

Do you guys know about tabwiki? I just spent the last couple hours building the Daniel Johnston page using the tabs from this thread. I'm going alphabetically, and when I'm done with the songs in this thread I'll input the ones from the R/U site. I need to get some sleep, but I managed to make it through the "f" section: http://www.tabwiki.com/index.php/Daniel_Johnston (http://www.tabwiki.com/index.php/Daniel_Johnston) Feel free to pick up where I left off and add songs to the page. I'll be back on it tomorrow and will hopefully have it finished in a couple days. When it's all done (which will be never, really, considering all the DJ songs that have yet to be tabbed) it will be a lot easier to find tabs than scouring this thread. I figure alphabetizing the songs is easiest for now, but at some point maybe someone will organize them by album. Thanks again to zack! So far, all the ones on the wiki came from him. Hooray and goodnight! Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on September 22, 2007, 06:12:11 AM Cool! Thanks so much for doing this HMBT. I'll post tabs in both places in the future. I've got a bunch more tabs that i just haven't had the time to put up. I'll try to get some of them up in the next few weeks. I've been on a Lost Recordings kick lately... love those songs.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Green Monkey on September 23, 2007, 05:24:51 AM can someone help me with the song "And I Love You So (And I Can't Let Go)
I think it's a new song. help me, pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaassseeeeeee Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: AnthonySBowman on October 01, 2007, 07:07:28 AM Zack,
Thanks so much for this. There are so many songs I've always wanted to play already included in this thread. Do you think you can do "Never Get to Heaven" from More Songs of Pain? Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: TheWildWind on October 07, 2007, 11:14:07 AM I would like a tab of Chord Organ Blues.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: silver on October 19, 2007, 09:05:33 PM Yay! I figured out my own song request. I think this is right but maybe your ear could double check mine, zack26!
Without Love (Why Me? Live in Berlin 1999) ========= Intro G D Verse/Chorus G D C G D Love You'll hate it if you have none And your mommy and your daddy didn't give you none And you allways on the run Without Love Love You'll regret it if you forgot And you'll be all tied up in knots If you can't share and there's no one there If you don't have love And all your deepest fears And sorrows through the years And there will be no tears No feelings for anyone Without love The mind is completely drained Saddened by the falling rain Stuck somewhere in time And there's nothing there to find Alone without love Everyone's gone insane Everything seems the same As your life burns life a flame Without love You're hiding from each other Not a word was spoken of it And your sinking in the mud in the crud Without love You'll never know yourself And there just ain't no help In hell for the children of the damned Love Is the sweetest of refrains It'll wash away your pain And you'll be able to understand It's the greatest power in the land Love Will light the way for you And you'll know just what to do As you follow through To a better kind of way If love could find you some how You'd be living in the now And if you thought you loved someone Then love may come to you Love Could be with you all your life And you just didn't realize Til you open up your eyes And see that love was there all along Love It never really ends And love could be your friend Remember that love is heaven sent And love is for everyone Amen Title: The Monster Inside of Me Chords Post by: zack26 on October 24, 2007, 07:21:01 PM iLeah requested this one...

D I need your love to carry me E Out of the darkness of the pit F You know I feel just like **** Bb G Maybe, girl, you could help me fight C6 F6 C6 The monster inside of me C6 F6 C6 (as before) Maybe if someone had said to Vincent Van Gogh "Keep punching, Joe!" Maybe he'd be here today. Maybe he'd be here today. D You inspire the strength within E And I can be conquerer F As my spirit rise above us Bb G Maybe, girl, you could help me destroy C6 F6 C6 The monster inside of me F6 G6 C6 And we could be happy And we could be happy And we could be happy And we could be happy C6 F6 C6 Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on October 25, 2007, 04:45:03 AM Yay!

I'd love you forever!
Title: Held the Hand Post by: zack26 on March 18, 2008, 07:05:12 PM Hi, i've been trying to figure out the piano to my two favorite songs from 1990 forever now and have gotten nowhere, do you think you could do piano tabs for Held the Hand and Lord Give Me Hope. I'd love you forever! Held The Hand Daniel plays fifths in the left hand and root position chords in the right hand, except for the short C-F interlude between verses where he plays single notes in the bass. Left hand bass notes are in parentheses. Here’s the notes in his chord voicings listed from low to high in the left and right hand : G: left: g and d; right: g, b, d Bm: left: b and f#; right: b, d, f# Em: left: e and b; right: e, g, b C: left: c and g; right: c, e, g Am: left: a and e; right: a, c, e F: left: f; right: c, f, a Held The Hand G Bm Em (bass: e - d ) Oh my lord C Em Am (bass: a - b) I am so bored C G Bm Em (bass: e – d) Held the hand of Satan C (bass: d - e) F (bass: e - d) C (bass: d - e) F (bass: e – d) (same chords each verse) Oh Laura What has happened to you? Held the hand of the devil I was on MTV Everybody was looking at me Held the hand of the devil Ending chords: C Bm G Am Em (repeat) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on March 18, 2008, 07:24:27 PM Hi, i've been trying to figure out the piano to my two favorite songs from 1990 forever now and have gotten nowhere, do you think you could do piano tabs for Held the Hand and Lord Give Me Hope. I'd love you forever! Lord Give Me Hope Daniel plays single bass notes in the left hand and block chords in the right hand. Chord voicings listed low to high, left hand and right hand: C: left: c; right c, e, g F: left: f; right: c, f, a Gm7: left: g; right: Bb, d, f C7: left: c; right: e, g, Bb F: left: f; right: f, a, c (this is the F on the word “road”, it is in a lower octave than the previous one) Fm: left: f; right: f, Ab, c C: left: c; right: e, g, c (this is the C on the word “upon”, also in a lower octave than the first one) Dm: left: d; right: a, d, f G7: left: g; right: b, d, f Loud piano interlude: C: left: c,c (octaves); right: e,g,c F#m: left: f#; right: f#, a, c# Lord Give Me Hope C F C Lord give me hope Gm7 C7 F Fm C For the road I walk upon C F C The road, it is long Dm G7 C And I fear Same chords every verse – there are a lot of them. I didn’t post all of the words but they're easy to pick out. Loud piano interlude: C F#m (3 times) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: bennyboo00 on March 18, 2008, 09:32:13 PM THANK YOU

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: billybob on April 03, 2008, 10:26:34 AM oh i agree completely. daniel's versions are always better than the covers in my opinion. but the songs deserve to be covered and need to be covered. daniel will make a lot more money that way, and it spreads his music more widely.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Robert Ronson on April 05, 2008, 10:21:18 AM @billybob
your'e right ...i really hope that somebody covers a DJ Song and it makes a Nr.1....and so DJ. will earn a lot of money! I also play a lot of Daniels songs on guitar....it's really great..because i'm a beginner(playing guitar one year now) and most of Daniels Song have really easy chords..so i can play a lot of his song...such a fun!!!

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: K1r0ft on April 07, 2008, 02:57:27 PM Hello – this is what im hearing on the beginning for polka dot rag:
Bass: A………D – A#...... / A………D – A#...... F..E..A,E,C,A,C,E Treble: A /A C /C E /E D,C A, A, A, A / D,C A, A, A, A – A/Ab..A D, D, D, D/ D, D, D,D – C/B….C This is the beginning. The treble part goes up one octave along the way somewhere in there. I really like this song too – been kind of looking at it. I’m kind of a beginner at the piano hope you can kind of get where im going with it. This takes you up to the chorus. Please forgive the punctuation marks as a sad attempt at measurements and articulations. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: K1r0ft on April 08, 2008, 09:35:08 PM Chorus

I have 2 l'il guys at home who want to perform "Casper the Friendly Ghost" from Yip/Jump for their 3rd grade talent show. One is singing and the other is playing the piano. We've got the singing part down, but using these chords isn't working out: http://www.azchords.com/d/danieljohnston-tabs-22913/casperthefriendlyghost-tabs-213554.html. It's hard to explain, but it just doesn't sound right.
From what I've read, maybe we're looking for another version than one we have. Does anyone know of another version? Could it be that we need it in another key? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Missy :) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: K1r0ft on April 10, 2008, 11:01:24 PM Missy -
G C "Now hes casper the friendly ghost." Maybe this will help - it looked like all the G to C progressions were missing an F chord in between Try: G F C Now hes casper the friendly ghost. Also the words from that link are a little different - not by much though Hope this helps. :wink: Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: K1r0ft on April 11, 2008, 12:05:19 AM Just Like A Widow

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: K1r0ft on April 11, 2008, 09:37:20 PM Missy, you are more than welcome.
This site holds a wealth of information. On this thread alone zack26 has posted more songs than I can keep up with – the dude is a machine (LOL). In-fact if you want a better idea of the lyrics and chords, you can also search up at the top – or go through the thread and find the info on just about any song you’re looking for. I think it’s great about the talent show. If they are putting forth the effort to perform this number im sure they’re going to knock the audiences socks off! Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: through the strip on April 12, 2008, 04:24:18 PM thank you btw for Polka Dot Rag, you have no idea how grateful I am!!

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Beef Crisps on April 13, 2008, 04:47:20 PM Think someone might have already requested, but does anyone have "Living Life"? I guess it might be easiest to tab the Dead Dog's Eyeball version...
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: quantumdriven on May 18, 2008, 05:10:14 PM Anyway you could map out "I Live My Broken Dreams" ?
Hate to bother you, but it wasn't on UltimateGuitar.Com or anywhere else, darn it. --Sonney Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: silver on August 29, 2008, 01:17:04 AM Hey missy
I know it's months after your Casper request but I was playing it on the piano tonight and I think the part you are missing is the part in between verses. It sounds good to me as pounding the single bass note on your left hand on 1,2,3 and 4 through the whole song. The part than goes dun-dun-dun-DUN. Bass Righthand(seperate notes on the 1) C C-E-G-C(higher octave) F F-A-C-F(higher octave) C C-E-G-C(higher octave) G then pound 8 Gs then 8 G7s Plus, this thread should always be bumped to the top!

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Stress Records on January 31, 2009, 02:53:50 PM Bump. I've never previously bumped a thread just for the sake of bumping but thought it was important that this one remained on the first page.

Please please please please please! This would be awesome to play live! Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: drewjoh on June 29, 2009, 11:14:48 AM LeLouch: This is the official tab request thread for Daniel Johnston songs on the Daniel Johnston forum... you might be better off finding Zebrahead tabs in a Zebrahead forum. :mrgreen:
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Lelouch on June 29, 2009, 01:07:59 PM I merely misunderstood. I followed a random link for the tab to the song I wanted and it lead here. Seeing the words" Tab request thread" I didn't think anything else of it. My mistake.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: itsmynothing on June 30, 2009, 09:57:02 PM Hi,
Here is "Mean Girls Give Pleasure" as requested by andylips: Mean Girls Give Pleasure Chords: G |320003| G* |323003| C |X32010| C* |X32310| D |XX0232| Structure: Intro/Verse 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + G G G*G G G G*G C C C*C C C C*C D D D D C C C C G G G*G G G G*G Chorus 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + D D D D C C C C G G G*G G G G*G Chorus (ending) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + D - - - C - - - G - - - - - - - D D D D D D D D Lyrics Every time I think and I do get by And I have all my friends and I do get high But every time I can't deny I'm already dead and I already died You think that its soup and that its your friend But its already gone and poop in the end There's nowhere to go and no way to win Then you start to fantasize again Mean girls give pleasure Its my greatest treasure Mean girls give pleasure Its my greatest treasure You can't really live and you can't really send And all of your dreams are probably pretend And nothing makes sense and its over again And you're already dead and you're dying for sin Too blind to see and too weak to think And the angel of death has taken you for a walk Nothing to say but just small talk And your head is in a block Mean girls give pleasure Its my greatest treasure Mean girls give pleasure Its my greatest treasure You can't really love and you can't really hate And all of your problems are probably fake And she tastes just like ice cream and cake Then you know its not too late The more that you live the less you know for And love could wash up on the shore And it drives you to tears after all of these years And being rich is better than being poor Mean girls give pleasure Its my greatest treasure Mean girls give pleasure Its my greatest treasure **Note syntax and if a line starts with "and" varies slightly from performance to performance** If anyone has/could work out the chords to "Mother Mom" I would be really grateful (I'm not very good at figuring out piano on guitar).

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: connor0103 on October 16, 2009, 12:39:10 AM hey everyone. i've been having so much fun going through this thread and playing all the songs i know. the tabs are always so accurate and helpful. i'm glad this thread is still alive and kicking. if i have any requests i'll let you know
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: notdaniel on October 16, 2009, 07:07:51 PM Hey. Can someone tab "girls" that can be found on the CD "continued story. hi, how are you" ? It's played together with Bill Anderson i think. I really like the riff. Thanks^^ :lol: I can't put it on your tab -- you have to pay cash! Seriously, just FYI, the riff you mention may well have been played by Bill A. (most recently a member of the Meat Purveyors) but the band Texas Instruments as a whole also played on that track, which was one of the notorious demos produced by Kim Fowley (see Modern Lovers; Runaways, etc.). You probably noticed the rather prominent sample from The Runaways' "Cherry Bomb" repeated towards the end of the track! As I recall, the guys in TI nearly strangeld Dan for insisting on that weird change at the "Hey, Elvis" part -- Bill A. can probably tell ya more about the track if he still pops in here these days... - notdan (If someone can point me to a page that shows chords and their names, I can give you tabs for some songs me & Dan co-wrote. Otherwise, I have no idea what I'm playing half the time!) Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: connor0103 on October 17, 2009, 02:01:30 AM hey i thought of a request- I Know Caspar, off Artistic Vice. anyone know it?

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: shloonktapooxis on November 01, 2009, 07:42:05 PM Fake Records of Rock and Roll :-D PLEASE??
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: connor0103 on November 02, 2009, 05:00:51 PM Ok i'll give Fake Records of Rock 'n Roll a try. For the instrumental part do all barre chords and make them seventh chords if you want. it sounds good that way, but changing the C, C#, D to sevenths is kinda tricky, at least for me.
G Get down boogie like never before C7 D7 Fake records of rock and roll G hold on tight and don't let go C7 D7 fake records of rock and roll C7 when the people walk into that record store G fake records of rock and roll The people go shopping and they lay their money down C7 D7 Fake records of rock and roll G It sounds just like and the people don’t know C7 D7 Fake records of rock and roll C7 When they turn on that stereo G Fake records of rock and roll, look out!

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: connor0103 on November 08, 2009, 02:30:37 AM hey man, how about a little love for the tab? i spent like two hours on it.

Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: connor0103 on May 10, 2010, 01:52:11 AM AHHH i've been waiting for a reply for like 5 months. this thread needs to come back to life.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Stress Records on April 05, 2011, 03:53:33 PM Bump. It's a shame to see things so slow around here when I know Daniel has more fans than ever. This thread had slipped to page three so I'm hoping the bump to page one might help.
Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on April 06, 2011, 09:40:07 AM I contributed a bunch of chords and tabs in the past but with a new baby I just haven't had the time. I agree with Jeff - it needs to come back to life. I'm sure many are still watching the message board, but few are posting. I believe March had only 1 post! I'll try to get some new chord charts in the future. If there are any requests for chords I'd be happy to try and post them soon.
I took a little break from DJ - now I'm just beginning to listen again. It's been refreshing. Been really enjoying the later albums recently - Rejected Unknown and Lost and Found in particular. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: Stress Records on April 06, 2011, 11:30:31 AM I contributed a bunch of chords and tabs in the past but with a new baby I just haven't had the time. Congratulations on the baby, Zach. Thanks largely to your contributions, I think this is the most important thread in the history of the message board so on behalf of everyone who has ever learned a song with the help of this thread, thank YOU. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: andylips on May 04, 2011, 01:50:11 PM congrats zach!!
I've just gone through ALL 15 pages of this thread playing quite a few of the songs, it's been fun, you rock for teaching us most of the chords. I'm looking for I Lose please! Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: zack26 on May 04, 2011, 08:01:31 PM Thanks! I love this - the baby's digging it too....
Daniel occasionally plays A7 and D7 instead of regular A and D A7 A D E7 She invited me to a pity party Every hour everyone was making fun of me I told her it really didn’t matter You can’t imagine what it’s done to my personality C F G7 I don’t know where she should go, but I lose Though I tried, like a lullaby, I lose A D E7 Once I saw her in a crazy dream She was laughing, I looked the other way Then I find that she unwinds, she puts me down behind my back Everyone seems to have a love but me, it’s what I lack C F G7 I’ve been denied the hurt inside, I lose Though she was barely a friend of mine, I lose I got left out of the “in” crowd They speak as if I was there They say the cruelest things, I seen their type A bunch of buttwipes that rule C F G7 Don’t make sense, it’s really strange, I lose Though I try, there’s no sense giving up, I lose I walk the second mile, there’s no one there, I lose I pick up the pieces of my broken dream, I lose Everyone had their fun, I lose A D E7 Yet she was a one of them from the beginning How am I to carry on, there’s no help given Then I realize it’s all reoccurrence What they’re thinking, their mind is a blur C F G7 I seen the future, and I ain’t even there, I lose I see it all, and it’s really, the same old thing, I lose They think they’re smart, all huddled together, I lose One more time, I try to make it, I lose A7 D7 E7 I lose, I lose Tell me about it, darlin’, now Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: breadbox on August 01, 2011, 09:23:06 PM Does anyone have the music for "It's Over" (Continued Story)? I've scoured the internet and come up empty-handed.
This thread is amazing to read through, BTW. I wish I had a fraction of your folks's ability. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: breadbox on September 01, 2011, 07:10:48 PM ... Well, maybe someday.
In the meantime, here's a minor contribution from me. I took the detailed notes on "Walking the Cow" by zack26 and turned it into bonafide sheet music. You can download it here: http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/music/Daniel_Johnston-Walking_the_Cow.pdf (http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/music/Daniel_Johnston-Walking_the_Cow.pdf) There's nothing important in there that isn't already in zack26's original notes, but as a piano player I find it much easier to follow in this form. Maybe someone else here will as well. I did my best to follow zack's instructions, but I have to admit to having a tin ear, so there may still be some minor mistake in there. I would welcome corrections. (The sheet music was created using a program called GNU LilyPond, so it's generally very easy to make changes.) Enjoy, and thanks to zack26 and everyone else for sharing in this thread. Title: Re: The Official Chord/Tab Request Thread Post by: connor0103 on August 13, 2012, 10:37:39 AM THANK YOU ZACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
