Wilco – Capitol City (Ukulele)

----------------------- ----------------------- by Graham Robertson ----------------------- Notes: All verse chords should be voiced as bar chords starting on the A-string (e.g. F = x|8|10|10|10|8 ; C = x|3|5|5|5|3 ; etc.). Though I think Tweedy plays the second F (on "secretaries") down on 1, you need to play it up high if you wanna mimic the bass line by hitting the root and fifth below it on beats 1 and 3 (e.g. for F, 8 on the A-string and then 8 on the E-string). On the chorus, all chords that can be played in open voicings should be done so. The B7 is voiced as shown below. You can walk down the C after "You wouldn't like it here" to the C7 in order to mimic Nels' part (i.e. 1 then 0 on B and then play the C7). Here's some of the trickier chord voicings: Ebdim: x|6|7|8|7|x Gbdim: x|9|10|11|10|x Baug: X|2|1|0|x|x B7: x|2|1|2|x|x Enjoy! Love this song. Very Sergeant Peppers. VERSE:

(first half of verse w/o lyrics) Capitol towers, radiator steam vents Scream along with the clarinets and arguments Echo down the hall I can't sleep; I can't wake up I'm shaken up; maybe we should break up I wish you were here Better yet I wish I was there with you CHORUS (first half of verse w/o lyrics) Capitol city skyline photo Picture postcard sign the moon's so Low in the sky I can't smile when my heart's still broken Far away in love and unspoken I wish you were here Or I was there with you CHORUS w/o lyrics
