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.

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]). 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....

Transcription:      Xavier Flament (flament@onera.fr)


N.B.: listen carefully to the background voice, this is Adam Duritz's amazing 
voice (if you don't know the Counting Crows, go buy their 2 CDs right now!)

Note: tune all strings 1 step down. () means you can choose to play the chord or 
----  not.


Intro:
-----

G5   D5   A5   C5 (x2)


Verse #1:
--------

              G5                         D5
      Sirens ring, the shots ring out
      
                 A5                        C5 
      A stranger cries, screams out loud

                G5                          D5  
      I had my world strapped against my back

                  A5                        C5   ( D5 )
      I held my hands, never knew how to act


Chorus:
------


              G5                              
      And the same black line that was drawn on you

            D5
      Was drawn on me

                               A5            
      And now it's drawn me in

                  C5      ( D5 )
      6th Avenue heartache


Verse #2:
--------

      Below me was a homeless man
      I'm singing songs I knew complete
      On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
      It's fifty years, stood where he stands

(Chorus)


Verse #3:
--------


      Now walkin' home on those streets
      The river winds move my feet
      Subway steam , like silhouettes in dreams
      They stood by me, just like moonbeams

(instrumental part: play same chords)


Verse #4:
--------


      Look out the window, down upon that street
      And gone like a midnight was that man
      But I see his 6 strings laid against that wall
      And all his things, they all look so small
      I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
      Just like me, just moved on 

(Chorus/ad-lib to fade...)
