::::::: Wait Up ::::::: (Jeff Tweedy) First, the parts and lyrics (key below) (Intro) 1 1 1 1 1 1 Are you surprised it's me 2 2 Hope I didn't wake anybody 3 1 1 Honey, please wait up for me 3 1 1 I miss you more than I need sleep 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 Guess I'll let you go 2 2 1 1 Even though I don't want to 3 1 1 Honey, please wait up for me 3 1 1 I need you, and I can't keep up this speed 4 1 1 4 1 1 1 1 (Intro again, then end on A) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TAB and Notes This song is three instruments, Jeff on acoustic, Brian Henneman on banjo, and Peter Buck on feedback (doing an impressive impersonation of a slide guitar and volume pedal, gotta love that man) Part 1: Hold an A chord and use the following bassline. Listen to the record for the rhythm, or say (out loud now) "one-ee-and-a" as fast as possible, and that's your rhythm. Jeff fingers his A 3-1-2 across the second fret (top to bottom), using his middle finger (2) to fret the bassline (Saw Wilco do this song last November, incredible of course). I personally prefer 4-3-2, fingering the bass with my middle finger as well; experiment so your hands don't hate you. d-------------0----------------------0------ a--0------0h2-----------0-------0h2--------- E------0---------2-----------0----------2--- Part 2: As above in Part 1, keep playing the A chord as much as possible while keeping the following bassline going on the downbeats. d-----------0-----------------0------- a------0h2-2------------0h2-2--------- E------------------------------------- Part 3: It helps to only play the a and c# (g and b strings) during this part. Same as above, you know how it sounds. Bass notes on each beat. d---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2------------ a------------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------ d----------------------------------------------------2------- a---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2---0h2------2--(0)------ E------------------------------------------------------------ Part 4: It's a D chord. Banjo plays melody that is tabbed below for guitar, try and do both together. e-------2--0-------------------------2--0--------------------- b----3--------3--2h3-------0-2h3----------3------------------- g-----------------------2------------------------------------- Intro: These are sixteenth notes, you basically pick all three bass strings at the same time, and mute the a string while fretting what is below. d----------0-------0--------0-------0----- a----------------------------------------- E---0-2-4---0-2-4---0-2-4---0-2-4--------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean Winnie 400 Dewey #312 St Paul, MN 55104 (612) 659-9409 swinnie@macalstr.edu
