TAB-Chords, Oh well whatever you want, I'm ta

[FrenchCanadian]

Hello there!

Any of you figured out how to play some of Lanois' songs?

I know Daniel's work goes deeper than just aligning chords, but once you got chords you figure out the scale, nor you figure out the scale and then chords.

All I want to know is: Anyone interested about this topic? I could post what I've came up with, will you do the same?

Hope to see you here!

I'm definitly interested in this topic, but i'm not that great at working songs out. I've been messing about with Fire recently, but it's hard to keep it interesting on just one guitar. Anyway I'd love to see what you've got. Here's a link to a site I found with tabs for Lotta Love to Give and Marie Claire.

Also if anyone has any ideas about how to play San Juan please let me know as I cannot for the life of me work it out.

[maninashed]

Ok I've been playing a lot of guitar these past few days and I've managed to work out versions of Still Water, Ice and (Yay) San Juan. If anyone wants me to tab these out and post them here I will.

[chunnamark]

Would love to see it. I know he uses a very strange tuning (big surprise) on San Juan... like an open C or something. I once worked it out, but have since forgot. I'd love to see versions of shine and Power of One. He uses these transitional chords, especially on Shine that are tricky...

[maninashed]

I'd love to be able to play those too, even Dan himself says Shine is a struggle to pull off by himself, still I'll give it a go at some point. As regards Power of One (Rockets version) I've figured out the basic melody line of the chorus, but not much else. But here it is to get you started:

e---------------------------------------------------------------------  --------------
b-3---5--X----3-5-8-7-5-----3-55--8-7-5-------------------------------  ------
g-2---4--X----2-4-7-6-4-----2-44--7-6-4-------------------------------  ------

That's interesting what you say about the tuning for San Juan, I've been playing it in open G and have found that it needs more open strings. I can still post my version if you want it.  Meanwhile here are the chords for Ice and Space Kay. (I could do a tab for Space Kay, if required)

Ice:
Verse: Em, Bm (sounds best played with Am shape barre chords)
Chorus: C, D, G (also barre chords where C & D are A shape and G is E shape)

Space Kay

Main Progression

B, Am, B, Am, G, G*, F, G, G*, F, Em

G*: Not really a chord change but the melody requires  playing b,c,b on the G string during the g chord.

Play all chords as E shape Barres except Em. Use lots of delay and pick out the melody from the chords. If playing solo it sounds good if you play a constant chugging baseline with the roots.
Thats it for now, but if anyone wants anything else I'll give it a shot. I've worked out a nice version of Slow Giving btw.

Intro : | Em    | x8

           Em                       Bm (G)

All the way from Paris to Mexico

Your shine inside the laughter and the ghosts

Bm             Em                 Bm  (G)        C
They have spoken of the river forever bending

                G
inside the fever

           C                           G
Of the saints that walk all night with no

       D
domain

Bm    Am        Bm    D    Em              G
In the end the thing that keeps them walking

   Bm         F

Your shine when they wear no coat, your

G                       C
shine when the feelings low

        G                             Bm                   D
Your shine when it's too late to turn around

Bm      Em                Bm  (G)              C
I have frozen up my dreams, thinking I was all

       G
alone

              C                   G                         D
Fighting every minute for each turning stone

Bm      Em                         Bm (G)
I have reached the rocket speed

           C                                    G
I have touched the ground that feeds

             C                      G                      D
Scaling fences, looking for the healing sun

In the end the thing that keeps me walking is

Bm       F
your shine

         Em        C                             G
Your shine in transmissions, your shine in

      C
decisions,

         G                  Bm                      D
Your shine when I labor to the new day,

              C               G    Em       F        C
It's your shine, your shine, your shine, shine,

D  
shine on

Outro :  | Em    |

Right here's my best shot at San Juan in open G tuning.

Well that's the intro right up until the singing comes in, the rest of the song is mostly variations on the above, I don't think Dan plays any line the same twice on the record, so I just tend to improvise.
Have fun, corrections welcome.

[maninashed]

I decided to give Dan's open F tuning (FFCFAC) a try and came up with a better version of The Unbreakable Chain, based on the Cool Water version. The chords I suggested earlier were horribly wrong.

C----5---5-----5-----------------------------------------------
A--5----5----5-----5h7-7-5-------0-0-0h1-1-1-1--0-----
F--5----5----5-----5---------7-5--0-0-0--0-0-0-0--0------  Play twice
C----------------------------------------------------------------
F---------------------------------------------------------------
F--5--- 5----5-----5----5----5----0----0-----0------0-----


C--------------------12-----------------------------------
A--0-3-1 0---7--7-----------------0---0h11110------
F--------------7--7-----------------0---0--00000------
C--------------7---------777540------------------------      Play twice
F-------------------------777540------------------------
F--0------0---7---------777540--0---0--------0------

Same pattern all the way through but with lots of improv/variations.
The bass line is really just a guide, play it in whatever rhythm sounds best.
Also the chords I wrote for Ice are slightly too high. All chords should be lowered half a step for the original key.

Please feel free to let me know what you think.

Hello!

Sorry about being away for such a long time... I kind of launched a topic but let you fellows feed it...

Anyways, greatful thanks to everyone who posted here, as I believe all of you are better guitar players (or tabbers, but in this case I don't care that much) than I am.

Does anyone have the chords for "Sometimes", I got them on OLGA before it went down but forgot to transfer the textfile to my new computer before I got rid of the old one.
