THE WALLFLOWERS

Bringing Down The Horse

I just bought this CD today, but i'm pretty sure the chords are right.

However the lyrics I had to figure out on my own, so don't scream if they're

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

way]).

6th Avenue Heartache by the Wallflowers, found on "Bringing Down the Horse"

There's four chords throughout: E - B - F#min - A (Open E, B at 7th, ect)

(You can add open high E & B's as drone notes). Sounds best

"unplugged". I

heard a GREAT version which was without drums and bass. Only vocals,

resonator

slide guitar (try a National Duolian!) for solo fills and background

accordion were playing.

My thanks to Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers for this one!

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!

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....
