{Okay, here is the opening lick - figure out the rhythm !}

#har denotes harmonics on that fret (E) --------------------0--------------------------5har-- (B) -12-------12------0---0----------7har----------5har-- (G)----11-10----11-10----------------7har----------5har-- (D)----------------------------------7har----------5har-- (A)----------------------------------7har---------------- (E)-------------------------7-7777-7------7-7777-7-------

{play the riff but start with the stuff on the 7th fret of the low E string} I fell asleep at just about every paragraph Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around Peel back the mountains peel back the sky Stomp gravity into the floor It's a Man Ray kind of sky I'll show you what I can do with it Time and distance are out of place here

{this next part reminds me a lot of Driver 8 or a slow These Days} {The riff is like this: (B) ------0------0------0------0---- (G) ----0------0------0------0------ (D) -------------------------------- (A) -----------------------0-------- (E) -0------2-------3---------------

Step up, step up, step up the sky is opening {of course, start the riff again} With the lightest mind I felt gravity pull

Somewhere near the end it's sad You can't do this I said I can To shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift It's a Man Ray kind of sky I'll show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up. The sky is opening.

DO

With the lightest mind, I felt gravity pull...

RE DO RE

...onto my eyelids. Holding my head straight-

DO SI

This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

I fell asleep at just about every paragraph Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around Shift the swaying river's shift Oceans fall and mountains drift It's a Man Ray kind of sky I'll show you what I can do with it Time and distance are out of place here

This is the easiest task I've ever had to do... {The end follows these chords: B C B C B C B C D B} Gravity pulls me down

Maps And Legends ================

{Intro}

Em D2 Em (A) --0-h-2----- (E) --------3--3-0

Is he to be reached, he's not to be reached Is he to be reached, he's not to be reached

RE2 MIm RE2 MIm

Call the fool in company

RE2 MIm FA#m LA

On his own where he'd rather be

RE2 MIm RE2 MIm RE2 MIm FA#m LA/LAsus4

Where he ought to be he sees what you can't see, can't you see that

{Same as intro}

Maybe he's caught in the legend maybe he's caught in the mood Maybe these maps and legends Have been misunderstood

Down the way the roads divided Name me the places you have seen Those who know what I don't know Have heard of the yellow red and green

{The break follows these chords}

RE REm FA DO RE REm FA FA RE REm FA DO

The map that she's made him doesn't seem real He just sees whatever he sees Point to the legend point to the east Point to the yellow red and green

Driver 8 ========

The opening riff is :

1

2 0

3 0 0 0 0 0 0

4 5 5 5 4 2 0

5 2 0 2 3

6 0 0 2 3

Finger: 1 2 1 1 2 2 2 2 1 1

I find a slide up to the 5th fret with the second finger, and a fast slide back down from the 4th to the 2nd with the first finger, makes the second part more fluid, so I gave my fingering here as well.

This riff is repeated for the intro, and the second half of it replaces the D/F# on the second and/or fourth line of some of the the verses.

The chorus riff is :

1

2

3

4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

5 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 2 2 0 0

6 0 2 3 2 0 2 3 3

(repeat as needed)

One set of verses that seems to work (I got several) is :

(Intro Riff)

MIm LAsus SOL RE/FA#

The walls are built up, stone by stone The fields divided, one by one And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8 Driver 8 take a break you've been on this shift too long

RE DO RE DO RE

And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8 Driver 8 take a break, we can reach our destination

(Chorus Riff)

Still a ways away; but it's still a ways away...

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of a farm The power lines have floaters so the airplanes don't get snagged Bells are ringing in the town again The children look up, all they hear are sky blue bells ringing

(chorus)

LAm DO

Way to shield away the heat,

SOL RE

Way to put myself to sleep Way to shield away the heat A way to put myself, my children to sleep

(Intro riff)

Pilots did this song, in a plane like that one She is selling faith on the hotel crusade Locomotive 8, southern crescent hear those bells ring again This field of wheat is looking thin.

And the train conductor says Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8 Driver 8 take a break, we can reach our destination

(Chorus Riff)

Still a ways away; but it's still a ways away..

{on that part, you can play the Em Em/F# Em/G Em chords, or you can play this riff:

(D)------0-------0------0--------0-- (A) ---2-------2------2-------2----- (E) -0-------2------3------2--------

Saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm Power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged Bells are ringing through the town again Children look up all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing

LAm DO

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way

DO RE

To yours to go between the wall was razed today

To yours the names before your others and your own

DO RE

Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

SOL5 SOLsus4 SOL SOLsus4 RE

My carpenter's out and running about talking to the street

{same as before} My pockets are out and running about Walking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way To yours to go between the wall was razed today Raze the walls the childish flaws the carpenters should wrestle So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

{somewhere around her, there's that little break "Listen to the holler..." chords are: F Fsus4 C D

The hills ringing hear the words in time Listen to the holler listen to my walls within my tongue When my ears go tin the air quicken tension build ________ inference suddenly Life and how to live it

Raze the walls the childish flaws the carpenters should wrestle So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best Read about the wisdom lost a knock a knock a knock A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

Listen listen to the holler I will write a book it will be called Life and How to Live It

Life And How To Live It =======================

The intro slides between 2 chord positions, and you mainly pick on the B,G, and D strings :

(C) (D)

E-----3-------- ! -----5-------! B-----3-(5)-----! -----5-(7)---! G-----5---------! -----7-------! D-----5---------! -----7-------! A---------------! -------------! E---------------! -------------!

Through the rest of the song, it's almost all more C and D chords, played in various ways, (mostly) on the top 4 strings. (There's one F chord in there somewhere too.)

(C)-------->(D) (C)---------->(D) E-----8-------- ! -----10------! !--8---------!------10-----! B-----5---------! -----7-------! !--8---------!------10-----! G-----5---------! -----7-------! !--9---------!------12-----! D-----5---------! -----7-------! !------------!-------------! A---------------! -------------! !------------!-------------!

Wendell Gee ===========

DO REm

That's when Wendell Gee G d g c (Bass in lower case) Takes a tug upon the string that held a line of trees

DO REm

Behind the house he lived in

SOL RE

He was reared to give respect

SOL DO FA

But somehwere down the line he chose

DO MIm FA

To whistle as the wind blows

DO SOL DO

To whistle as the wind blows through the trees

REm

He had a dream one night... ...and so on until it ends on a very sad C. Noe I sure hope the lower case letters don't confuse you; The guitar stays on G while mike is doing this country kind of thing.

That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug Upon the string that held the line of trees Behind the house he lived in He was reared to give respect But somewhere down the line he chose To whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves

He had a dream one night That the tree had lost its middle So he built a trunk of chicken wire To try to hold it up but the wire the wire turned to lizard skin And when he climbed it sagged There wasn't even time to say Goodbye to Wendell Gee So whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves

If the wind were colors And if the air could speak Then whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows
