anthony Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I didn't see a good version of this posted yet, so I thought I would give it a shot. I might have went a little overboard on all the walking bass lines. Feel free to omit a few, as you feel fit. Feedback welcome. Thanks.

Atticus Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I hate to ruin your thread, but Jeff plays this song with capo on 2nd fret, making it a G-C-D-Am affair (relative to capo) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 the Em is used when played with a capo on the 2nd fret (which its played on the Anodyne version). there are solo live versions where plays it without a capo, but its played in G in that case (one step lower) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
