"Row" - Rheostatics Written By: Tim Vesely On the album: Introducing Happiness Transcribed By: Graham James (g_j_james@hotmail.com) Disclaimer: Anyone expecting a proper transcription or even accurate chords can forget it. My goal in figuring out any piece of music is to find some reasonable (and sometimes recognizable) background that I can play on acoustic guitar in my underwear and sing while I arrange my sock drawer alphabetically. Improvements are welcome. Transcription notes: When I figured "Row" out, I just did it by ear using Tim's melody to guide me. But for those comparing this the key of the original on Introducing Happiness, they'll notice that the original is lower. The original chord progression is: F Bb C Bb F Bb F C Take your pick. All the [G] clouds get to [C] gether and [D] watch. All the [C] trees gather [G] 'round us and [C] grow up to [G] gether and [D] watch. A [G] stream, a [C] succession, a [D] parade of [C] fists before [G] teeth before [C] eyes and [G] ideas are [D] made. ...but the [G] eyes that are [C] borrowed are [D] weak. It's the [C] ones that can't [G] see who're the [C] ones who will [G] know I am [D] weak. While the [C] fighting gets [G] done, [C] nothing gets [D] won. [G] It is my [C] nature to [D] fight. What [C] ever I've [G] said is a [C] challenge, it [G] must be de [D] nied. But it's [G] easy to [C] see no one [D] wins. If [C] someone had [G] won, we'd have [C] heard long [G] ago. No one [D] wins. While the [C] fighting gets [G] done, [C] nothing ever gets [D] won. Ellowhee...Ellowhee...Ellowoo... Adlib All in a row Use same progression we will go. G/C/D/C/G/C/G/D [G] Now there's [C] nothing more to [D] do. [C] Whatever I [G] say, [C] I hear it [G] fade a [D] way. All the [G] clouds get to [C] gether and [D] cry. All the [C] trees in the [G] wind [C] wave good [D] bye. Good-bye. Use same progression All in a row. G/C/D/C/G/C/G/D
