Hey I always play this with an A in the verse progression so its C#7 F# A B - below is how i would go through the verses. May be wrong may be right but its a different way to play. The rest of the tab is pretty accurate - I play the solo different, but i know that my way isn't 100% right so what can be done. Enjoy

can someone please define C#7 and F#? I can't seem to figure out the exact fingering ..
C#7 - x46464
F# - 244322
the way this works, looks at the strings like this:
EADGBe
except with a fret number where each one of those strings falls. and there you have it.
(a C chord is x32010...does it make sense? also, an x is a string not played)
and try this:
Capo IV
(all chord positions and shapes relative to capo
i.e. A7 is really C#7, but is an A7 chord in relation to the capo)
A7 - x02020
D9maj7 - xx0220
Fmaj7' - 133200
G6 - 355400
then for that bridge bit (i'd roll on but i know you'd need me some day)
F#m - 244222
C#m - 466544
D - xx0232
A - x02220
repeating the D and A for a couple bars as he's saying "someday"...
I'm pretty certain Jim doesn't use a capo when performing War Begun
This song and many others are located at the official unofficial My Morning Jacket guitar tabs and chords site:

One other thing:
I think he puts a finger on the b string on the 4th fret when doing the upstroke on the F# and the A... if you try that it sounds just like how he does it, but only on that upstroke, and only those 2 chords.
Love this song. Thanks
thanks
probably my personal favorite live..thanks man
Okay to my ears and eyes, these are all close but not correct. This is what I'm hearing and seeing (watching live vids)
The F#7->Fmaj6 and the A(b5)->A are grace notes basically, that follow the vocal lines. For example, for the first chord change, you'd fret
XX434X (F#maj6 w/o the root, which the bass is playing) and hammer on the 7th, XX436X (F#7)
C#7 (F#7) F#maj6 (A(b5)) A B

C#7 (F#7) Fmaj6 (A(b5)) A B

A#m F F#maj7 C#5
I'D MOVE ON, but i know you'll need me some day.
A#m F F#maj7 C#5
I'D roll ON, but i know you'll need me some day.
repeat verse, and end alternating between C#5 and F#maj7
