Feeling Gravitys Pull

=====================

{Okay, here is the opening lick - figure out the rhythm !}

#har denotes harmonics on that fret

(E) --------------------0--------------------------5har--

(B) -12-------12------0---0----------7har----------5har--

(G)----11-10----11-10----------------7har----------5har--

(D)----------------------------------7har----------5har--

(A)----------------------------------7har----------------

(E)-------------------------7-7777-7------7-7777-7-------

{play the riff but start with the stuff on the 7th fret of

the low E string}

I fell asleep at just about every paragraph

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around

Peel back the mountains peel back the sky

Stomp gravity into the floor

It's a Man Ray kind of sky

I'll show you what I can do with it

Time and distance are out of place here

{this next part reminds me a lot of Driver 8 or a slow These Days}

{The riff is like this:

(B) ------0------0------0------0----

(G) ----0------0------0------0------

(D) --------------------------------

(A) -----------------------0--------

(E) -0------2-------3---------------

Step up, step up, step up the sky is opening

{of course, start the riff again}

With the lightest mind I felt gravity pull

Somewhere near the end it's sad

You can't do this I said I can

To shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift

It's a Man Ray kind of sky

I'll show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up. The sky is opening.

C

With the lightest mind, I felt gravity pull...

D C D

...onto my eyelids. Holding my head straight-

C B

This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

I fell asleep at just about every paragraph

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around

Shift the swaying river's shift

Oceans fall and mountains drift

It's a Man Ray kind of sky

I'll show you what I can do with it

Time and distance are out of place here

This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

{The end follows these chords: B C B C B C B C D B}

Gravity pulls me down

Maps And Legends

================

{Intro}

Em D2 Em (A) --0-h-2-----

(E) --------3--3-0

Is he to be reached, he's not to be reached

Is he to be reached, he's not to be reached

D2 Em D2 Em

Call the fool in company

D2 Em F#m A

On his own where he'd rather be

D2 Em D2 Em D2 Em F#m A/Asus4

Where he ought to be he sees what you can't see, can't you see that

{Same as intro}

Maybe he's caught in the legend

maybe he's caught in the mood

Maybe these maps and legends

Have been misunderstood

Down the way the roads divided

Name me the places you have seen

Those who know what I don't know

Have heard of the yellow red and green

{The break follows these chords}

D Dm F C D Dm F F D Dm F C

The map that she's made him doesn't seem real

He just sees whatever he sees

Point to the legend point to the east

Point to the yellow red and green

Driver 8

========

The opening riff is :

1| | |

2| | 0 |

3| | 0 0 0 0 0 0 |

4| | 5 5 5 4 2 0 |

5| 2 0 2 3 | |

6| 0 0 2 3 | |

Finger: 1 2 1 1 2 2 2 2 1 1

I find a slide up to the 5th fret with the second finger, and a fast

slide back down from the 4th to the 2nd with the first finger, makes

the second part more fluid, so I gave my fingering here as well.

This riff is repeated for the intro, and the second half of it

replaces the D/F# on the second and/or fourth line of some of the the

verses.

The chorus riff is :

1| |

2| |

3| |

4| 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 |

5| 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 |

6| 0 2 3 2 0 2 3 3 |

(repeat as needed)

One set of verses that seems to work (I got several) is :

(Intro Riff)

Em Asus G D/F#

The walls are built up, stone by stone

The fields divided, one by one

And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8

Driver 8 take a break you've been on this shift too long

D C D C D

And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8

Driver 8 take a break, we can reach our destination

(Chorus Riff)

Still a ways away; but it's still a ways away...

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of a farm

The power lines have floaters so the airplanes don't get snagged

Bells are ringing in the town again

The children look up, all they hear are sky blue bells ringing

(chorus)

Am C

Way to shield away the heat,

G D

Way to put myself to sleep

Way to shield away the heat

A way to put myself, my children to sleep

(Intro riff)

Pilots did this song, in a plane like that one

She is selling faith on the hotel crusade

Locomotive 8, southern crescent hear those bells ring again

This field of wheat is looking thin.

And the train conductor says

Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break

We've been on this shift too long

And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8

Driver 8 take a break, we can reach our destination

(Chorus Riff)

Still a ways away; but it's still a ways away...

Driver 8

C Em Em/F# Em/G Em/F# Em Em/F# Em/G Em/F#

We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away

{on that part, you can play the Em Em/F# Em/G Em chords, or you can

play this riff:

(D)------0-------0------0--------0--

(A) ---2-------2------2-------2-----

(E) -0-------2------3------2--------

Saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm

Power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged

Bells are ringing through the town again

Children look up all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing

Am C

Way to seal the hated heat

G D

Way to put myself to sleep

Am C

Way to seal the hated heat

G D/Dsus4

Way to put myself my children to sleep

Pilot did this song in a plane like that one

She is selling faith on a hotel crusade

Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent hear the bells ring again

This field of wheat is looking thin

And the train conductor says

Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break

We've been on this shift too long

C D

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way

C D

To yours to go between the wall was razed today

C D

To yours the names before your others and your own

C D

Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

G5 Gsus4 G Gsus4 D

My carpenter's out and running about talking to the street

{same as before}

My pockets are out and running about

Walking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way

To yours to go between the wall was razed today

Raze the walls the childish flaws the carpenters should wrestle

So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

{somewhere around her, there's that little break "Listen to the holler..."

chords are: F Fsus4 C D

The hills ringing hear the words in time

Listen to the holler listen to my walls within my tongue

When my ears go tin the air quicken tension build ________ inference suddenly

Life and how to live it

Raze the walls the childish flaws the carpenters should wrestle

So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

Read about the wisdom lost a knock a knock a knock

A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

Listen listen to the holler

I will write a book it will be called Life and How to Live It

Life And How To Live It

=======================

The intro slides between 2 chord positions, and you mainly pick

on the B,G, and D strings :

(C)********* (D)**********

E-----3-------- ! -----5-------!

B-----3-(5)-----! -----5-(7)---!

G-----5---------! -----7-------!

D-----5---------! -----7-------!

A---------------! -------------!

E---------------! -------------!

Through the rest of the song, it's almost all more C and D chords,

played in various ways, (mostly) on the top 4 strings. (There's one

F chord in there somewhere too.)

(C)--------(D) (C)----------(D)

E-----8-------- ! -----10------! !--8---------!------10-----!

B-----5---------! -----7-------! !--8---------!------10-----!

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way

Wendell Gee

===========

C Dm

That's when Wendell Gee

G d g c (Bass in lower case)

Takes a tug upon the string that held a line of trees

C Dm

Behind the house he lived in

G d

He was reared to give respect

g c F

But somehwere down the line he chose

C Em F

To whistle as the wind blows

C G C

To whistle as the wind blows through the trees

Dm

He had a dream one night...

...and so on until it ends on a very sad C.

Noe I sure hope the lower case letters don't confuse you;

The guitar stays on G while mike is doing this country kind of thing.

That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug

Upon the string that held the line of trees

Behind the house he lived in

He was reared to give respect

But somewhere down the line he chose

To whistle as the wind blows

Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves

He had a dream one night

That the tree had lost its middle

So he built a trunk of chicken wire

To try to hold it up but the wire the wire turned to lizard skin

And when he climbed it sagged

There wasn't even time to say

Goodbye to Wendell Gee

So whistle as the wind blows

Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves

If the wind were colors

And if the air could speak

Then whistle as the wind blows

Whistle as the wind blows

Wendell Gee
