Wisteria


a few notes at the risk of being verbose: i saw this song transcribed differently on a website, with the capo on the 5th fret, with the chords BmGDA, (and that's the way richard does it live i believe) but i play along with the CD with no capo, in the key of Em/G (i think that's right). both ways sound right when played along with the CD, but i like my way better. just use an easy, free-picking style, listen to how richard plays, and you'll see what i mean. sorry, i don't write tab; i play by ear... but it's really quite simple. he adds a lot of hammer-ons and twiddly things in there. really a pretty song. comments, suggestions ? feel free... laura mrspremise77@aol.com (remember this is just my personal interpretation of the song. you don't like it, go buy the sheet music. if you can find it.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wisteria -Richard Shindell (Somewhere Near Paterson) (free finger-picking ) Em/addG D C G Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D Em/addG D C G let's not drive away just yet Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D Give me a mo- ment more Em/addG D C/G G to walk through those rooms again Em/addG D to walk through that door Em/addG D C G if we turn off the radio Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D i've only to close my eyes Em/addG D C/addG G and the wind in the sycamores Em/addG D will carry me home G C/addG the vine of my memory G C/addG is blooming around those eaves G C/addG Em/addG D C/addG but it's true it's a chore to tame wis - ter- ia Em/addG D C/addG wis - ter- ia Em/addG D C G i'm tempted to ring the bell Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D maybe they'd ask me in Em/addG D C/addG or maybe it's just as well Em/addG D to just let it be Em/addG D C G remember the price we paid?
