:::::::: Postcard :::::::: By Jay Farrar/Jeff Tweedy (Intro:) D / F C (Verse:) D A Lost sight of the ground, never been so down G D F C D F C Nothing here to stand on Another weary road, another faceless tombstone Nothing here to stand on G Turn and face the wind, they never get out D D A A D forever caught in a spin, no better place to begin D Can't find the phone, can't hear to listen, can't take along (E F#) G D What we're missin'--just as well to write this postcard from hell. A G and the bar clock says three A M Fallout Shelter sign above the door, D are the words don't come here anymore (repeat Intro/verse) Too many miles in between, I heard a good man scream /Nothing here to stand on Each and every step, feeling out more or less /Nothing here to stand on Turn and face the wind, they never get out forever caught in a spin, no better place to begin Guitar Solo (over chords to "Turn and face the wind...") (For solo, see below) Guitar solo (acoustic part): Open G chord with variations on the high E string: 0---2-3 ------3 0------ 0------ X------ X------ Lead guitar freak-out over these chords: D A G (Repeat abbreviated intro) More freak out over these chords: D A G Turn and face the wind, they never get out forever caught in a spin, no better place to begin Tried to stay, tried to run, there's never been enough reason to believe in anyone this trickle-down theory has left all these pockets empty and the bar clock says three A M Fallout shelter sign above the door, are the words don't come here, anymore Solo: I can't really write out the guitar solo, but here's the chord forms around which Farrar bases his electric solo on the record, in the order in which they are played. If you listen to the record and use these as suggested positionings, the solo should be fairly easy to pick out: D: X------------------------------------------------- 3--------5--3-----------3--5-----5--7--7--5------- 2--------------4--2-----2-----7--------------7---- 0--------------------4-------------------------5-7 X------------------------------------------------- X------------------------------------------------- G: ------7-10-10-----10-------10------------------------------------ ----8---------10(bend)-10(b)-10(b + release)--8--------10-------- --7---9(bend)-----------------------------------9--7-------9(b)-- 9---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- A: ---------------- ---------------- 2---4---6-7----- 2--------------- ---------------- ---------------- G: ---------------- 0-----3--------- 0---2(bend)----- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Transcribed by Dave Nash
