I tried to break it up into sections where you can hear a "pause". listen to the cd, you'll
see what i mean.
NOTE on Solo: 2 things about this. 1st, it is my interpretation, so the fingerings
might be different than Derek's, but it sounds the exact same, i checked several times.
2nd, i play solo guitar, so i have added come chord inversions where usually cliff would
play, to fill it out. so sometimes there is _more_ here than on the CD. as always, mail
me if you are lost.
Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
--------
Like the April Showers on the slick cement
And the roads once straight have now become so bent
Weaving through the trees of vain security
Rounding round the hard rocks of hard morality
Cadd9 G D (This time the Cadd9 G after verse is played only once)
Chorus (See above)
(Intro Lick is played ONCE)
Bridge:
-------
Em Am7
And the sacred cows
Em Am7
Feed on the green
Em Am7
While the least of these
Em D Barre-D (10th fret)
Are dying on the streets
And they're crying...

5. Forget What You Know
Cliff: Clean Guitar (playing in E)
-------------------
Intro:
(Derek only; Cliff does not play)
Verse 1:
--------
hE hAsus2 C#m A
My friend why do you whip yourself
hE hAsus2 C#m A
With the leather of your life
hE hAsus2 C#m
Why do your memories build like
A hE hAsus2 C#m A
Poison in your mind
Bridge 1:
---------
C#m A A B C#m
You're re-running the mistakes (of your mind)
C#m A E
In the theater of your mind
C#m A
Hoping that there'll be
F#m D
A happily ever after this time
Chrous 1:
---------
E open-A
Let go
E open-A
Let go
E open-A
Let go
E open-A
And forget what you know
Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
--------
You fear you've walked too far
In the hemlock forest and you are lost
But what error could you invent
With more power than the cross
Chorus 2:
---------
E open-A
Let go
open-B open-A
Your sin is not an axe
E
Let go
open-A open-B open-A
That can fell the sacred tree
E open-A
Let go
open-B open-A
Your regret is not a net
E
Let go
open-A open-B open-A
That can dredge the forgetting sea
(Solo) Play verse chords over it: hE hAsus2 C#m A
Bridge 2: (Same as Bridge 1 above)
--------
A wise man once told me
When I was dying just the same
The past can be like sidewalk chalk
If you will dance and pray for rain
Chorus 3:
---------
Play Chorus 1, then Chorus 2 until out...
Play verse riff and then stop as Derek, then cajon drums lead out.
-----------------
Derek: (Capo 2 --> His part is in D)
------
Intro: This is _fast_ and is built around a Dsus2 chord. Practice,
practice, practice... it is played through all the verses also.

This is repeated about a million times, i didn't even try to count.
It doesn't change until the bridge

6. Another Ten Miles
Intro:
--0-0---0--0----0-0---0-0-0---
--3-3---1--1----3-3---1-1-1---
--4-4---2--2----4-4---2-2-2---
--5-5---3--0----5-5---3-0-0---
--5-5---3--3----5-5---3-3-3---
--3-3---1--0----3-3---1-0-0---
Just repeat this over and over.
The best way to finger this:
2nd string: 1st finger
3rd string: 2nd finger
4th string: 3rd finger
5th string: 4th finger
6th string: loop thumb over
It will take time to get used to pulling that 3rd finger up, just keep
practicing. It will come.
Verse 1:
--------
The changes are really fast, so I'm not gonna put chords over words.
I will put the part, it is only 4 strums, and it is just repeated over
and over. Work on playing it muted, it sounds better. Also, in the middle
of each verse, one riff of the intro is thrown in. It is obvious when you
listen to the record.
--3----3---0-0--0---
--3----3---1-1--1---
--0h2------2-2--2---
--0--------3-3--0---
--x--------3-3--3---
--3--------1-1--0---
The best fingering for these:
First one, the one like a G:
1st string: 4th finger
2nd string: 3rd finger
6th string: 2nd finger, also muting 5th string
3rd string: (the hammer) 1st string
I don't see what you see in me
I'm just flesh and bone
Many hours at the carrousel,
Postcards from far from home
Sometimes I feel as useless
as my empty words, old
president's dogs, clean paws,
no dirt-
What do these words mean?
Sometimes I just don't know.
Sometimes I just can't see
where it is I go- I waste
my whole day thinking over
things I've said and avoiding myself
like the plague in my head
Bridge 1:
---------
Bm7 Cadd9* Bm7
I know that you see me and I know
A Bm7
You're about me, that's why You
Cadd9*
let me roam
Chorus:
-------
Just play the intro part over and over...
Another 10 Miles...
(Sax solo)
Verse 2: (Same as verse 1, see above)
--------
Where does this all lead, and
why must I follow it?
Nothing is black and white,
(even me, I must admit).
I jot down the facts and work
on consistency, but open up the
closet door; it's George, and
the cat, and me.
My shifting eyes like sands
cannot focus on the void,
concentration still,
"Get thee behind me, Freud."
I'm grasping at straws and
the bale is almost gone;
the fire's grown much too dim,
nights grow much too long-
Bridge 1 (Same as above)
Chorus (Same as above)
Bridge 2:
---------
Bm F#m A E
I am holding things Yours, not mine
G D/F#
while I should cling to You like a
Bb C D D7
cow beneath the light of a highway sign.
(Percussion and Sax solo)
Bridge 1 (Same as above)
Chorus
