So, I actually started to learn this song from Rockcru's tab (great work, thanx a lot)
in the meantime I watched Bruce playing this song on the Devils + Dust DVD and I found
differencies I'd like to share with you. So this is how Bruce plays it on the video.
Listen to the song to get the correct rhythm.
G Gadd9 C Dsus2 Em11 g---3-----3-----3-----0-----0----| D---0-----0-----1-----3-----0----| Bb--0-----2-----0-----2-----0----| F---0-----0-----2-----0-----0----| C---2-----x-----3-----x-----0----| G---3-----3-----x-----x-----0----|
(Bruce does a very open strum (indicated now as Em11) during the chorus between two chords)
Intro: G and Gadd9
G Gadd9 Out where the creek turns shallow and sandy G Gadd9 And the moon comes skimmin' away the stars G Gadd9 G The wind in mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops C G Gadd9 G Gadd9 Straight into my arms, straight into my arms G Gadd9 I'm ridin' hard carryin' a catch of roses G Gadd9 And a fresh map that I made G Gadd9 G Tonight I'm gonna get birth naked and bury my old soul
C G Gadd9
Gadd9 And dance on its grave, and dance on its grave Dsus2 Em11 G C It's been a long time comin' my dear Dsus2 Em11 G C It's been a long time comin' but now it's here G Gadd9 G Gadd9 Yeah now it's here G Gadd9 Well my daddy he was just a stranger G Gadd9 Lived in a hotel downtown G Gadd9 When I was a kid he was just somebody
G C G
Gadd9 Somebody I'd see around, somebody I'd see around G Gadd9 Well now down below and pullin' on my shirts G Gadd9 I've got some kids of my own G Gadd9 If I had one wish in this godforsaken world, kids G C It'd be that your mistakes'd be your own G Gadd9 G Gadd9 Yeah your sins'd be your own Dsus2 Em11 G C It's been a long time comin' my babe Dsus2 Em11 G C It's been a long time comin' but now it's here G Gadd9 G Gadd9 Yeah now it's here
Bridge: G C G C G C
G Gadd9 Out 'neath the arms of Casseopeia G Gadd9 Where the sword of Orion sweeps G Gadd9 It's me 'n' you Rosie we're cracklin' like crossed wires G C And you're breathin' in your sleep G Gadd9 G Gadd9 Yeah you're breathin' in your sleep G Gadd9 There's just a spark of campfire left burnin' G Gadd9 Two kids in sleeping bags beside G Gadd9 G I reach 'neath your shirt 'n' lay my hands 'cross your belly 'n' feel C Another kickin' inside G Gadd9 G Gadd9 And I ain't gonna fuck it up this time Dsus2 Em11 G C It's been a long time comin' my dear Dsus2 Em11 G C It's been a long time comin' but now it's here Dsus2 Em11 G C It's been a long time comin' my babe Dsus2 Em11 G C It's been a long time comin' but now it's here G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G Yeah now it's here
