a little off, (Jakob can slurr like only a Dylan can [I mean that in a good
way]).

6th Avenue Heartache by the Wallflowers, found on "Bringing Down the Horse"
There's four chords throughout: E - B - F#min - A (Open E, B at 7th, ect)
(You can add open high E & B's as drone notes). Sounds best
"unplugged". I
heard a GREAT version which was without drums and bass. Only vocals,
resonator
slide guitar (try a National Duolian!) for solo fills and background
accordion were playing.
My thanks to Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers for this one! SIXTH AVENUE HEARTACHE by

Singin' songs he new complete
On the steps alone
His guitar in hand
His 50 years sit where he stands
CHORUS 2X
And walking home on those streets
A river winds it moves my feet
Subways steam, like silouttes in dreams
Stood by me, just like moonbeams
CHORUS 2X
I looked out the window, down upon that street
And gone like midnight was that man
But I'd seen his six strings laid against that wall
And all his things well they all looked so small
I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
Just like me, he just moved ah ah on

6TH AVENUE HEARTACHE by the Wallflowers, from "Bringing Down the Horse".
Transcription by Dave Poch (I am not responsible for any of the
following, use at your
discretion!)
I play it in a different key than the recorded version: (E as opposed to F?)
There's four chords throughout: E - B - F#min - A (Open E, B at 7th, ect)
(You can add open high E & B as drone notes). The original, if you like
would be
F, C, Gmin and B flat, just capo at the first fret and finger the chords
as shown.
Play a full barre on the F#min if easier.

However the lyrics I had to figure out on my own, so don't scream if
they're
a little off, (Jakob can slurr like only a Dylan can [I mean that in a good
way]). Try it with the Gm7 before the Bb and let me know what you think
(bag@cjnetworks.com)
I play it w/capo@3 like D(F) A(C) Em7(Gm7) G(Bb) its easy and sounds
cool.
I saw these guys
in Lawrence KS recently..VERY COOL...like seeing a young
pre-disillusioned(new word) Bob!

If you have anything to add or change feel free. If you would like to get
in
touch with me you can: samcarla@sowega.net or at my homepage
http://www.america.net/~samcarla ME TOO! Thank you Sam for getting me on
the right track!
the Gm7 thing was a gift from above...it just happened....and seemed
right!?!?
not sure why I can remember lyrics tonight while typing. I sure as hell
can't when I'm singing it!
I dont know how correct it is. The chords sound right though
Ive only got the first verse lyrics, but they're pretty simple.
Appreciate any corrections or suggestions....
