• Song:

    Word Of Mouth

  • Artist:

    Shakey Graves

Awesome artist but not well known. Liked this song and couldn't find a tab so I made one.
This is the Audiotree session version. He does a no capo version as well and its the 
exact same chords.

Capo 6
The Bass line follows this pattern and you just pick the chords overtop

          Ame|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| (x02210@1)B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----0-------------------0-------------------0--------3-----0------------0-|
E|-------------0--------3----------0---------3---------------------0-----3---|

The bass changes to follow the C chord. Anything in brackets is optional but it is in 
the song.

          Ce|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| (x32010@1)B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------(pick)-----(pick)-----(pick)----(pick)---------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------(0)--3---------------(0)--3---------------------------------|
E|--------3------------------3-----------------------------------------------|
(pick just means pick the top strings in the C chord)

The strumming pattern is pretty simple. Listen to the song to get it down.
Intro: Am
    COh, (x32010@1)I see a girl thats blue like the sea
                                              Amwhen (x02210@1)i go to sleep you know that she sees me, too
      Cyeah, (x32010@1)just standing around like the popular kids
                                   Amhoping (x02210@1)saint peter will let us in, too
                         F"well," (133211@1)he says " if you value your life stay off the drugs
       Cif (x32010@1)you value the drugs stay off the map.
       Gif (320003@1)you value maps you better travel, son.
       F (133211@1)                                       C(single strum)          Amif (x02210@1)you dont want to travel then you better run"

ooh, yeah, mmm, oh
           Cyeah, (x32010@1)well I knew a king in his purple throne
                                              Amoh, (x02210@1)and he had some trouble so he's all alone now
       Cwell (x32010@1)I used to bring him little presents from time to time
                                             Amand (x02210@1)hed sit me in his castle and hed pick my mind
          Fhe (133211@1)said, "if you value your heart, oh stay on the road.
       Cif (x32010@1)you value the road, oh stay on the top .
       Gif (320003@1)you value the top, oh youre gonna suffer son.
       F (133211@1)                                           C(single strum)      Amand (x02210@1)if you dont want to suffer, then you better run"

(Full strums)

       Cwell (x32010@1)i see my boss in his practical suit
                                            Amill (x02210@1)toss him in the cellar wont give him no food

(Back to picking)

     Cwhen (x32010@1)anybody tries to tell him what to do
                                   Amhe (x02210@1)holds his breath until he turns blue
          Fhe (133211@1)says, "if you value your job, stay out of crime.
       Cif (x32010@1)you value the crime, stay out of doors.
       Gif (320003@1)you value them doors you better lock em son.
       F (133211@1)                                  Gand (320003@1)if you dont want to lock em, you better buy a gun"

This part speeds up. Its the same Chords but just at a different tempo. Theres a few 
riffs here. Theres no real
pattern I can distinguish. He just plays around with the high B and E strings on the 
third fret with his pinkie.
He also throws in some bends on the B string.
The new bass riff comes to this.

                   Cyeah, (x32010@1)he said, "it must be gettin awful lonely tryin to save the world;

          Fhe (133211@1)said, "if you value your limbs, stay in the game.
