::::::::::: She's A Jar ::::::::::: by Jeff Tweedy Transcription by Howie Wang The verse chords are basically G bm C. There are little embellishments like below: 1 2 3 4 G bm (to hit the 3rd fret on the sixth string, bob your -3-------3--3-3--2---3----------- middle finger down) -0-------0--0-0--3---3---3------- -0-------0--0-0--4---4---4---4--- -0-------0-------4-------4---4--- -2-------2-------2-------2---2--- -3-------3----------------------- 1 2 3 4 C -0-------0------------------------ -1-------1------------------------ -0-------0---------0-------------- -2-------2---0-h-2-------2-p-0---- -3-------3---3---3-------------3-- ---------------------------------- Intro: G bm C G bm C G She's a jar bm With a heavy lid C My pop quiz kid G A sleepy kisser bm With feelings hid C She begs me not to miss her [verse chords twice] She says forever To light a fuse We could use A hand full of wheel And a day off And a bruised road However you might feel Tonight is real [verse chords twice] When I forget how to talk I sing Won't you please Bring that flash to shine And turn my eyes red Unless they close When you click And my face gets sick Stuck Like a question unposed [strings solo verse chords twice] chorus: G am Just climb aboard D em The tracks of a train's arm Bm Bbm am In my fragile family tree D And watch me float inches above The people under me [harmonica solo verse chords twice] Please beware the quiet front uyard I warned you Before there were water skies I warned you not to drive Dry your eyes you poor devil [verse chords twice] Are there really ones like these The ones I dream Float like leaves And freeze to spread skeleton wings I passed through before I knew you [verse chords twice] I believe it's just because Daddy's payday is not enough Oh I believe it's all because Daddy's payday is not enough [verse chords twice] chorus [harmonica solo verse chords 4 times] She's a jar With a heavy lid My pop quiz kid A sleepy kisser A pretty war My feelings hid You know she begs me not to hit her =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chords transcribed by Warren Owen ( wozza@altcountry.freeserve.co.uk ) If you like this then you might like my website, "The Alt-Country Tab Page", http://www.altcountry.freeserve.co.uk Notes: Essentially another simple song musically, but the phrasing is trickier. The verses are G Bm C but be careful as Jeff Tweedy plays around with the timimg of his phrasing from verse to verse. Another thing to note is how he has used the same Bm Bbm Am progression in the chorus as he did on "Far Far Away". I received an email from Rob van Alstyne [rob@nycap.rr.com] who suggested ...I think after the C is strummed jeff hammers on with the middle finger on the D string second fret once quickly and then possibly hits the B-string 3rd fret once, releases and hits the B-string at the first fret once and then hammers on at the B-string first fret, and then hits the B-string once more letting it ring. Expressing that is quite tough but I guess its sort of ------------------ ----3h0h1h0h1h0--- ------------------ -h2--------------- ------------------ ------------------ but read the description for the idea Intro G Bm C [G]She's a jar [Bm]With a heavy lid [C]My pop quiz kid [G]A sleepy kisser [Bm]A pretty war [C]With feelings hid [C]She begs me not to miss her G Bm C x2 [G]She says forever [Bm]To light a fuse [C]We could use [C]A hand full of wheel [G]And a day off [Bm]And a bruised road [C]However you might feel [G]Tonight is real Bm C G Bm C [G]When I forget how to [Bm]talk I sing [C]Won't you please [C]Bring that [G]flash to shine [Bm]And turn my eyes red [C]Unless they close when you click And my [G]face gets sick [Bm]Stuck [C]Like a question unposed G Bm C x2 [G]Just climb [Am]aboard [D]The tracks of a train's arm [F#m?] [Em]In my fragile family [Bm]tree [Bm Bbm Am] [Am]And watch me floating [D]inches above The people under [G]me G Bm C x2 [G]Please be[Bm]ware the quiet front [C]yard I warned you [G]Before there were water skies [Bm]I warned you not to drive [C]Dry your eyes you poor devil G Bm C x2 [G]Are there really [Bm]ones like these [C]The ones I dream float like leaves And [G]freeze spread [Bm]skelton wings [C]I passed through before I knew you G Bm C x2 [G]I believe its [Bm]just because [C]Daddy's payday is not enough [G]Oh I believe its [Bm]all because [C]Daddy's payday is not enough G Bm C x2 [G]Just climb [Am]aboard [D]The tracks of a train's arm [F#m?] [Em]In my fragile family [Bm]tree [Bm Bbm Am] [Am]And watch me floating [D]inches above The people under [G]me G Bm C x4 [G]She's a jar [Bm]With a heavy lid [C]My pop quiz kid [C]A sleepy kisser [G]A pretty war [Bm]My feelings hid [Am]You know she begs me me not to hit her [C G]
