This song shouldn't be too hard. :) I have slowly been getting addicted to it. To be honest, The verses sound much more like a chorus, and vice versa. But I'm pretty sure everything is labelled correctly. Key is D# Mixolydian, sometimes going to D# Major. Capo on 1. All chords relative to capo, transcribe the whole tab one fret up for the true chords. [Intro] D [Verse 1] D Am I've never been alone G Long enough to know D If I ever was a child D Am I was tied up like a boat G On a button like a coat D Set free for a while [Chorus] Em Gm I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood D A While my white, green eyes [Verse 2] D Am Cry like a window pane G Can my cold heart change D Even out of spite? [Solo] D Am G D [Chorus] Em Gm D I saw behind my brain a haunted stain A It never fades Em Gm A I hunt for the kind of pain I can take [Verse 3] D Am And I cry like a window pane G Can my cold heart change D Over night? D Am So I won't ever want to touch G Your heart too much D Or hold you too tight [Chorus] Em Gm D I saw behind my brain a haunted stain A I'll never fade Em Gm A I hunt for the kind of pain I can take [Coda] D Am I never was alone G Long enough to know D If I ever was a child
About the artist behind If I Ever Was A Child Chords:
Wilco's music has been inspired by a wide variety of artists and styles, including Bill Fay and Television, and has in turn influenced music by The National and Cherry Ghost. The band continued in the alternative country of Uncle Tupelo on its debut album A.M. (1995), but has since introduced more experimental aspects to their music.
Wilco garnered media attention for its fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002), and the controversy surrounding it. After the recording sessions were complete, Reprise Records rejected the album and dismissed Wilco from the label. As part of a buy-out deal, Reprise gave Wilco the rights to the album for free. After streaming Foxtrot on its website, Wilco sold the album to Nonesuch Records in 2002. Both record labels are subsidiaries of Warner Music Group, leading one critic to say that the album showed "how screwed up the music business [was] in the early twenty-first century."[1] Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Wilco's most successful release to date, selling over 590,000 copies. Wilco won two Grammy Awards for their fifth studio album, 2004's A Ghost Is Born, including Best Alternative Music Album.
