Anyone have any guitar tablature for these guys?
I figured out the chords from "Old Sept Blues", "The Dark", "I will be there when you die", "By My Car", "At Dawn" and "Phone Went West". No solos or anything. I'd have to type them out first, but if you want, I can mail 'em to you.
Wouldn't it be an idea to put the chords on this site? I have typed out "By my car", "At Dawn" and "Phone went west", so if anyone's interested, let me know.
I think it would be cool to have a tabs tab. Someone with tablature typed out should contact the webmaster.
Chanson: At Dawn
Artiste: My Morning Jacket
C# F#
At Dawn they rise again
C# F#
They'll haul you out to the street
G# F#
They'll burn your papers and your empty thrash cans
G# F#
Beat this thought into your head
F#
Saying over and over again...
C# F#
All your life is obscene
C# F#
Forget the papers, forget your musical dreams
G# F#
But that's when my knife rises
G# F# C#
Their life ends and my life starts again!!!!

Chanson: By My Car

"Evan

I said:
D#sus2
"If he does,
F D#sus2
I'll kick
A#
I'll kick his head in"
I'be known you for years
I know all your moves
I just can't believe that it caved in this soon
And I'm playing it over and over again in my head
I said: "Where you go?"
She said: "Where've you been?"
He took you to movies and carnival tents
Bought you big houses and payed all the rent
And I'm playing it over and over again in my head
F D#sus2 A#
Oh, and Los Angeles

Oh and the rest of the girls

I have some more, just have to type them out, but here's my first shot... The chords might not be on the right spot, if you know what I mean, but these are the chords to use, just listen to the record to figure out the timing and strumming and such.
By the way, as you can see, these songs are incredibly simple, and yet, so fucking amazing. How does he do it? ;D
Yeah, baby! Another one of my topics is sticky now! ;D
Well, since Two Tone Tommy is here, can't he help us, poor little guitar freaks with some tabs? No, for real now, I'm busy writing an "I Will Be There When You Die Tab", all I can tell you for now is to play it with your capo on the sixt fret, just like Jim playes it. The solo notes are easy to figure out, the rest is still somewhat blurry.
Nevertheless, bless you MMJ!
Again with the stickiness!
what's the Dutch word for "sticky"?
Hmm, John, that's a tricky one. A literal translation would be "plakkerig". However, in this context, that translation would be rather weird. Can anyone help on this one?
Well, to be correct, sticky means "plakkerig" or "kleverig"... But how to translate it? Hell, I don't know! Maybe the best way for now is to say "kleverigheid"... It will do, I guess.
Well, to be correct, sticky means "plakkerig" or "kleverig"... But how to translate it? Hell, I don't know! Maybe the best way for now is to say "kleverigheid"... It will do, I guess.
Hell, I've searched the whole net to find some mmj-tabs, but guess they aren't as famous as metallica, so I didn't find anything. So I had to figure it out myself. Well here's the tab for "I will be there when you die".
Tune down your guitar one half note
Intro: (fading in)(search the rhythm for yourself)
D
Eb---3- 3--3-2--0---3-3-3-2-----I
Bb---3---3--------3-3--3----3---I
Gb---2--------------2---------2-I
Db---0--------------0-----------I
Ab------------------------------I
Eb------------------------------I
Verse
D G D
Joe was born in New York city, son of Paul and Catherine
D G Em A
Always down and always out, but his morrows always seemed just fine
Chorus
Bm Em Bm Em
There will be bigotry and there will be open minds
Bm Em G Em
There will be days of peace, you 'll never have the time
Bm Em G
As long as you keep a straight face
Em D
I will be there when you die
Em G
As long as you keep a straight face
Em D
I will be there when you die
Verse
D G D
I was born in East Kentucky, home of where the grass is dyed
G Em A
Always down and always out, but my morrows always seemed just fine
Bm Em Bm Em
There will be bigotry and there will be open minds
Bm Em G Em
There will be days of peace, you'll never have the time
Bm Em G
As long as you keep a straight face
Em D
I will be there when you die
Em G
As long as you keep a straight face
Em D
I will be there when you die
D
OOOOOH
G
OOOOH
Outro
D (just strum and pick this chord for a while)
Eb---2
Bb---3
Gb---2
Db----
Ab----
Eb----
Then James plays the d-chord higher and picks it
Eb---14-
Bb---15-
Gb---14-
Db---0--
Ab---0--
Eb------
So this is it!
I know it's not completely accurate, but that should do it.
If you have any suggestions to improve, please let me know
Thanks Jeroen (Dankjewel!),
Now try putting your capo on the 6th fret instead of the first, just like Jim plays it and transpone the notes of your tab to the new positions... And let the magic work.
Thanks for that I will be... tab! I always play it on piano, kinda in a loose interpretation, ´cause I couldn´t get it right on the geeta. So thanks! :)
O, please please pleazzzze post all your tabs, we're all desperate... We wanna play some more MMJ, but the tabs are all done - finished - finito. Help us!
I'm beginning to have serious doubts if my tabs are right. I had figured out the chords to I will be..., but it now turns out that I played the wrong chords in the chorus. And when I looked at Jim when he played By my car at the Paradiso show, he also played some different chords.
I could tell you that I always play O with Bm and A and D and A in the final part and How do you know with Am and G throughout the entire song, but I can't guarantee you that's right...
The Bear anyone? I can kick a trashcan for the bass drum!
I think this is right:
wAR BEGUn
C#7stolen as the F#war begun, Athis time your Bsoul is my
C#7one. i beF#long to a Arace of robots, Bdrownin out my
C#7one. anyF#time your Awar gets out of Bhand i'll take it on.
C#7stolen as the F#wars begun, Athis time your Bsoul is my one.
A#mI'D MOVE FmON, but i F#know you'll need me some C#7day.
A#mI'D roll FmON, but i F#know you'll need me some C#7day.
repeat verse, and end alternating between C#7 and F#
haai,
I figured out the solo for war begun (more or less). It's rather simple and yet it sounds perfect!
Enjoy!

hey guys,
I powertabbed the bear and I put it on www.powertabs.net. If you don't have the software for it, you can download it for free on this site. (for the people who don't know what powertab is: it is a program where you can give in musicnotes, so make a tab, and afterwards you can listen to it by means of this software, just hit the playkey)
let me know if it sucks or not (it's my first powertab and any comment whould be welcome)
jeroen
Within a while , I'll post "the way that he sings" too, but I'm still working on it. (Also on powertabs.net) Have fun!
Hey,
Recently I tabbed lowdown and the way that he sings, within a while also war begun will be placed on www.powertabs.net. But for the moment I have some problems with old september blues. I know the songs starts with an A chord but that's all. Can anyone help me out?
lfish
Seems I'm the only guy posting here, but anyway ...
Since my last update I managed, thx to "O", to tab old september blues. I also did "the dark" and I did an update of " the way that he sings" (based on the bbc acoustic session). For the moment I would very much like to tab "I think I'm going to hell" so if anyone could help me out with the chords?
ciao
yeepla,
Today, it' a historical day! The sixth mmj-tab has been posted on www.powertabs.net and I truly hope more will follow. For the moment I'm trying to tab 'I think I'm going to hell" but I have some difficulties with the guitar tuning.
I think it would be a great idea to have the different guitar tunings of the songs on this site. Maybe the moderator can help us, poor guitar freaks, out?
cheers,
lfish
yow yow yow,
I just posted 'I think I'm going to hell' and it sounds perfect.
Just to let you know!
have fun
ciao
lfish
Gonna have to check out that Powertab site in the near future, I think... At the start, I didn´t wanna download any programs, ´cause I´m always a bit careful with that, but now it´s starting to sound interesting! So thanks in advance! :)
powertabs.net sucks. can someone please copy and post the tabs onto this message board. or possibly e-mail to me. i just wanna "play that song". any help greatly appriciated. thanks.
I can't see why powertab.net sucks. I still had no problems with it. It's easy to use and you can find great tabs. There are also other powertabrelated sites but I believe that powertab.net is the biggest one on the net, with the largest database. So if you realy think it sucks that's your problem. And in the future, if you want express your opinion, maybe it would be useful to say why it's sucks so other people could learn something from it. It's very easy to break something down but it's much harder to say why you are breaking it down.
lfish
yes it is easier to break something down, its a lot easier than using power tabs.net. i apolizgize for not explaining why it doesn't work for me, because i don't know why it doesn't work. the text is coded and not legible when i down load it. once again i truely apoligize for the trouble, but i just want to play these songs this weekend at a small gig. At least, could you please, please e-mail me or post on this message board "the way that he sings". again, your help is greatly appriciated.
Non-musician point of view: could the text that isn't legible be because of your default internet font?
just a thought....
thanks for your response. it could be, i really don't know, not much of a computer guy. but why not paste them on this message board. i'd rather give mmj the multiple hits as opposed to "powertabs". it would attract more people directly to this site more often.
ok Here are the chords for the way that he sings, just to help you out, so no solo's are included.
Intro: Bb/E: x1333x
Fadd11/E:x1321x
verse: Eb/E: x6888x (play four measures)
Bb: 688766 (play four measures)
Chorus: Dmadd9/E; x5776x (play two measures)
Cm/G:x35543 (play six measures)
F : 133211 (play four measures)
Cm/G:x35543 (play two measures)
F : 133211 (play two measures)
Go back to intro.
Play verse again
chorus
verse
outro: You play the chords of the intro and the second guitar just repeats this lick all the time:
--6-6-6-4-4-3-3-3
--7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3
Enjoy your show!
PS Possible solution: Did you download the software(the powertabeditor) to read the files?
yeah,
That's true, but I don't know how to paste these files on the messageboard? These files ain't just text files.
I would so love for anyone to highlight the tabs for Lowdown. I wanna put it in my live set as a cover. I can't stop playing it.
Hey,
I posted all the tabs on www.powertab.net. You have to download the powertabeditor (it's freeware) to read the tab. It is a lot easier for me this way, instead of typing it all out here on this messageboard and it will be a lot clearer and better for you, guys to learn how to play the songs. So I recommend you to look for this site and dowload the tabs. For the moment I tabbed: "lowdown", "war begun", " the way that he sings", "the bear", " the dark", "Old september blues" and " I think I'm going to hell". I hope more will follow, but for the moment I don't have a lot of time to analyze the songs.
Bsut anyway I hope you have fun with it!
tschow,
lfish
Could you post them here? Mac users cannot read Power Tabs... And I'm a Mac user...
Hey kristof,
I'm very sorry, but I don't think this messagesystem here has the possibility to clip files on the board.
But I think it's strange that a Mac-user can't read powertabs?
Did you dowload the powertabeditor?
If you did, I'm afraid I can't help you.
If you want I can put the chords on this messageboard but solo's will not be included.
Groeten
Lfish
I'd like it as well, Ifish, if you'd post just the chords, I never play solo's myself, I just play the chords to accompany my singing, and solo's on accoustic guitar don't really sound too great, anyway...
Ok here they are.
Hope you like it.
"Evelyn is not real"
Intro + verse:
E: 022100 (1 measure)
B: 799877 (1 measure)
E: 022100 (1 measure)
E: 022100 (1 measure)
Repeat this for four times!
Chorus:
A: 577655 (2 measures)
E: 022100 (2 measures)
A: 577655 (2 measures)
E: 022100 (1 measure)
E6: x466xx (1 measure)
So once you can play that you can play the entire song. Simple, yet beautifull!
"I think I'm going to hell"
Intro:
Ebmaj7sus4b9/Bb: 66879x(1 measure)
Bb: 66878x (1 measure)
Bb type2: 68876 (2 measures)
Verse:
Gm6+5/E: x6888x (2 measures)
Bb type 2: 68876x
chorus:(is more silent part when jim sings "I think I'm going to hell)
G13/F: 131515xxx (1 measure)
Em/maj7+11/E:111313xxx (1 measure)
Bb type 2: 68876x (2 measures)
Back to verse
So those are all the chords for this song.
"lowdown"
Intro:
D: 000232 (1 measure)
G: 320003 (1 measure)
Verse:
D: 101212111010 (1 measure)
F#m/C#: 991111109 (1 measure)
Em/B: 779987 (1 measure)
F#m/C#: 991111109 (1 measure)
D: 101212111010 (1 measure)
F#m/C#: 991111109 (1 measure)
Em/B: 779987 (1 measure)
Em/B: 779987 (1 measure)
Repeat this one time
Chorus:
D: 000232
G: 320003
A: 002220
So those are the chords for this song.
"Old september blues"
Intro:
A: 002220 (1 measure)
D: 000232 (1/2 measure)
Dm 000231 (1/2 measure)
Instead of D and Dm you can also play:
1) xx7779 (is comparable to D)
2) xxx767 (is comparable to Dm)
Chorus:
Esus4: xx2200 (1 measure)
E: 022100 (1 measure)
Interlude:
Esus4:xx2200 (1 measure)
A: 002220 (1 measure)
And that's it for this song.
So that's it for now.
If you still have some questions, just ask.
Enjoy

i've just posted the chords to "death is the easy way" and "just because i do" on the altcountrytab.com site, in case y'all were interested. lemme know if somethin' don't sound right...

haai,
I submitted Picture of you on powertabs.net. Hope you like it.

ok, i know iz a pretty easy sounding song, but I really suck at picking up chords by listening to the song....can anybody help me with the tab for "hopefully"?
Thank you mmj, iz beauuuuteeeful!
Can anybody help with "strangulation" ?? Sounds like it starts on a G# and works up to maybe a C# but I know thats just not quite right...are they tuned weirdly? or playing high on the neck or something?
Put your capo on the first fret for strangulation...
G
strangulation
C G
I don't wanna feel a thing
C Em
When your hands close tight around my neck
D
force the air that I breathe...
C
I don't want to feel a thing
G
I don't want to feel a thing.
Then G C Am through the next part...
It repeats pretty closely for the next verse... And the intro and outro obviously works poorly on a single acoustic guitar, but you can just bang on Em if you want to.
I know it's nowhere near the studio cut, but it is a similar facsimile thereof.
Yo, yo, yo
For the moment I'm working on a tabbed-out version of Strangulation and I have to admit, it sounds great, but I think it will take a while to finish it because exams are coming my way :-X . I'm also tabbing "I will be there when I die" for the fans amongst us. The release date of this songs is been expected within a few months. All will be posted on powertabs.net, so check it out.

I often visit this topic and see all those tabs and I really want to play them and I wanna tab out things myself, but when I play guitar, I always play my own songs for hours, and I just never get to MMJ-songs. But still, y´all keep up the good work, and maybe I´ll get to it someday.

TRY PLAYING THIS SAME SONG WITH A CAPO ON THE FIRST FRET, and TRANSCRIBE YOURSELF OUT OF ALL THOSE HARD ASS FINGERINGS...
THERE"S A REASON GOD MADE THE CAPO...
GOOD WORK STILL...
THANK YOU...
AND THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING ME TO POWERTAB..
I LOOK FORWARD TO HOOKING EVERYBODY UP WITH MY OWN TRANSCRIPTIONS
_GEne
Thx for the tip man, but I don't have a capo, so I all have to tab it without it. And yes I know the fingersetting isn't that easy, but it's good for the fingers. They become more flexible and it allows you to take more difficult fingersettings in the future. But considering the advantages of a capo, I think I'll buy one in the future.
here is hopefully

B:---7-7--3~--

Hi guys, I pretty much know all MMJ songs on guitar if you have a particular song you wanna know just email me (mike_nix@beer.com). -Mike (www.mp3.com/the_axis_band.com)
I figured out mahgetta a while ago, just the solo so far but i can put the rest up in a few days..
I've been doing a whole lot of sitting around and playing along with the new album, and I'll post what I've figured out when I have time. Let me know if you've got requests. :)
Gee,
thx guys for keeping up the good work. Long time since I visited this thread. It makes me reach for the guitar again.
Hey, I was wondering, as you guys have so many tabs worked out, isn't it possible to put them into powertabfiles. It's much better then just the chords. I've put already some tabs on powertabs.net but for the moment, I don't have much time myself to work it all out. But I will be glad to help working it out if help is needed.
That other guy had the verse and chorus chords correct for "One Big Holiday", the song they played on Conan. Heres some intro stuff I figured out.

Anyone know what that really nice and simple chord progression on the second half of "Steam Engine" (you know, when the "take your money and your drugs" part kicks in) is?

Does anyone know "I Needed it Most"?
I posted an updated capo6 version of I Will Be There When You Die, as well as Lowdown and Phone Went West at www.altcountrytab.com. There's been some other people posting MMJ songs pretty regularly there as well.
Enjoy,
Porter
May I also(or again) point out that there are 9 tabs of the jacket on the site www.powertabs.net. It would be nice to hear some comment on these songs. I think they're pretty accurate. You first have to download the free software to play the tabs.
Ps: solo's included
Can someone post the chords to "Golden". Such a beatiful song. Thanks.
hey everyone just wonderin is there anyone who that could post some bass tabs, it would be a great help thanks :)

Tabbed by Steve F
well that didn't format correctly but with the chords and listening to the song you'll get it anyway i guess.
Thx for the nice work!
Ok for all the powertabfans amongst us (for those who don't know this: It's about time you did) I've uploaded "O is the one that is real". Enjoy it and if you pop by would you give any comment? It would be great for my future tabbings.
PS. Now it's still standing in the waiting list but in a few days it will be approved and be placed in the my morning jacket directory
Ok it's on! Right now I'm working on one big holliday, including the solo's, but I don't know if I'm gonna be able to tab the whole solo very accurate. I'll see. Feel free to give me any advice and if there are any suggestions for a particular song to be tabbed, just let me know.
greetz
Ok I never thought I could pull this off but I did. I tabbed completely One Big Holliday, solo's included. It's just amazing how simple the guitarsolo's are. And it sounds just like the real thing. Every moderate guitarist can play the jacket. So the story is familiar: I've put the song on www.powertabs.net and within a few days it should be accessible for all of you.
I think I must be crazy puttin' all of my free time in this tabbing.
it's appreciated :)
oh yeah, i have just a small gripe with your 'o is the one that is real tab', you have this as the outro riff :
e----------------------------
b----8b-7--------7-----------
g---------9--7-9-------------
d----------------------------
a----------------------------
e----------------------------
i think it sounds more like:
e----12b-11------------11----
b-----------14--12-14--------
g----------------------------
d----------------------------
a----------------------------
e----------------------------
or am i going crazy ?
I don't think that your change is right. If you play your riff along with the song, you will notice that you are playing in a different key. If you play my riff along with the song, it is hmmm "perfect". But thx for the tip. It is worth checking it out, because I know that my tabs aren't 100% correct? If you have other comment, just let it flow.
heh..just listened to it again, and both riffs are playing in harmony, the lower(in pitch) one is mixed left, the other right
i'd bet my life on it ;)
Well if you would have done the bet, I think you are death by now. I've just filled in your riff into the powertab of O is the one that is real and it sounds terrible. Your riff is played in a different key, namely B minor while that part of the riff (my riff) is played in key D major, which is the key of the song.
Just try it out and let me know. :)
Anyone have any tab or chords? It'd be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Just go to www.powertabs.net , download the free powertabeditor and you can download 11 mmj tablatures and play them on your computer. The powertabeditor is a very good tool to compose tablatures and to play tablatures(sounds weird? just go to their site and reab about it). It's all freeware!!!!!
howdy folks ty for all you've tabbed out...im new here, glad to see there are others striving to be able to play some of these pimp tunes :)
it's our pleasure!
alright im a really crapy guitar player but i still need the tabs to one big holiday so if anybody can get that ill give you somethin... it will probably be something cheap but im jewish so what do you expect.
check the web site altcountry.com,they have some tab there.not sure if its right but its there!!
And please check out the previous things I wrote. Check out www.Powertabs.net
11 Tabs of the jacket are posted there, solo's included!
Maybe the board system should be changed a bit- a tab section would be a real help since it seems to be popular part of the boards. Or maybe rather than a tab forum a tab section with all of the tabs that have been previously submitted. Just food for thought
Good thought, though, but I don't think this forumprogram contains such a possibility. You cannot ad attachments or sort alike. I've already asked riny, but it is not possible unless the program is changed, but I don't think this will be the case. But nevertheless some tabs are very easy to find, if you know where to look. But I guess that goes for everything. As mentionned before, www.altcountry.com and www.powertabs.net contain some fine mmj tablatures. Have fun with them and don't hesitate to tab some songs yourself.
greetz,
lfish
The previous link should have been www.altcountrytab.com
i dont know guys. maybe its cause im new but i cant find anything from mmj but i really think their should be a ass load of tabs from these guys.
oh someone please tell me the tabs for "one big holiday"
someone get the tabs for one big holiday please
wow tom, you almost seem desperate
someone get him some tabs! ;D
Baxter, are you associated with the band at all? I see that you're moderator.
Tom, I don't know if this helps you or not but here's a link of tabs submitted by our very own forum threader: http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=artist,686. Hope that's helpful.
sorry, left out his name: Ifish, sorry, no disrespect.
no prob! ;)
And I have further good news for you guys. For the moment I lay my last hand on bermuda highway and it sounds just fine. You do need a capo for this one. I'll let you know when it's up.
greetz
Hey typical_fan, I think this link will do a better job ;)
http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=artist,686
Nope It doesn't. Some problems with numberrecognition.
Just copy the entire link, so also the number 686 in your browser and then you should prompt be directed to the jacket tabs.
hey guys,
fixed the links.
typical fan, yes that's correct
Cool. Sorry about the link Ifish. I downloaded those tabs from that link and I have to have a PTB file extension program to open it, I'm still wondering what program I need. Hey baxter, I was wondering if you knew when MMJ is coming to Lubbock or Dallas anytime soon?
QuoteHey baxter, I was wondering if you knew when MMJ is coming to Lubbock or Dallas anytime soon?
hey typical. no plans right now, not to my knowledge.
Hey typical fan,
I'll help you out.
Just click the following link and download the powertabeditor. It's freeware so you don't have to pay a dime.
http://www.simtel.net/product.download.mirrors.php?id=17736
Install the program and make sure that your downloaded tabs get the extension ".ptb" (comes from powertab obviously) and you should get on your way to play beautifull mmj songs.
If you still have some problems, drop me an email and I'll help you further out.
greetz
yea i am desprite baxter. and thanks for the links guys it helped alot.
Well, even if they don't come to my area soon, I can wait, their music won't die out on me. Thanks for the info, Ifish.
Well I got it to work. Give all the credit to Ifish there tommy, he made the tabs, I just found them sorta.
Yo de mannen,
Another song has been accepted at www.powertabs.net. Bermuda highway is now at your disposal. I've also uploaded Just one thing, which will also be online within a few days . Oh, and the chords for just one thing on altcountrytab.com are not right, so I corrected them in my version of the song. Have fun!
Ok "just one thing" is up. You know where to go to, don't you? If not, please read this thread carefully.
greetz
Hi, can someone please give me chords (not the riffs/solo things, I don't need them really) of the song 'I needed it most', I'm really too stupid to figure it out myself :(
you guys are great
(and so is MMJ :))
a quick rough 'busking' tab of 'one in the same', some improvisational bits i can't quite make out :/

I have been flicking through this post, so if i'm repeating a request that has already been posted i'm sorry. But does anybody know the tab for Run thru it seems to have been overlooked. I love the introduction bit, so could anyone post the tab on the forum please. Thanks ;D
Well Hippy,
I've been working on this tab, but I only figured out the intro. If you want, I can sent the powertabfile to your email adres. If you don't want to display your email here on the forum, just drop me a private message and I'll help you along
Thanks IFISH i've sent you my email in a private message. :o
Anyone figure out "Come Closer" at all? I can't get this tune out of my head. :D
its a work in progress but its on its way. i'll be updating or maybe a kind soul will help.
My Morning Jacket
War Begun
Capo 2
The only way to get the progression is to listen to the song. There might be a Bmajor at the end of the riff. When I'm singing it doesn't seem to work.
Intro/chorus
E----2-----2-------0-------0----0-----0---0----0----------------
B----4--p--2-------0------3----0-----2---0----0------------------
G----2-----2-------4------1----1-----0---0----2-----(4)----------
D----4-----4-------4------0----0-----2---2----2-----(4)-----------
A----2-----2-------2------2----2-----0---------------(2)------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------
stolen as the war begun, this time your soul is my one.
Verse:
Bm7 - X24242
Am7 - X02020
Em - 022000
Bm7 Em Am7 Bm7
i belong to a race of robots, drownin out my one.
anytime your war gets out of hand i'll take it on.
stolen as the wars begun, this time your soul is my one.
(not sure yet, check back later)
I'D MOVE ON, but i know you'll need me some day.
I'D roll ON, but i know you'll need me some day.
Chills... does anyone know the song tab? thankx
does anyone have a tab for "i needed is most"?
it would be much appreciated thank you!
If I find the time, I will give it a try, but I can't promess anything. I need it most is a fantastic song, that I only discovered recently. Ain't the jacket fantastic?
Does anyone else agree that these chords sound right for Magheeta? Im not sure what they're called but it sure sound pretty when i strum it.
JJ's signature: Capo 1st Fret
F F9? GmC7? GmC7?
-----------------2----------4---
---------2-------------------------
--1------1-------2----------2------
--2------2-------1----------1------
--2------2-------2----------2------
-----------------------------------
No I don't think they're right. I've figured them out (just the intro), but right now I'm at work, so I don't have my guitar with me ;D.
I'll post them asap.
mahgeetah and golden are both in open E minor capoed at the first fret. which i guess is open F minor. once you retune it's pretty easy to follow.
--0------0-------2----------4---
--0------2-------2----------4------
--1------1-------2----------4------
--0------0------(0)--------(0)-----
--0------0------(0)--------(0)-----
--0------0-------------------------
the "can you see me?" part is Gm, Am and F
just bar the open chord at 2 for Gm and 4 for Am. F is the first chord up in that crappy tab i did.
the end is C and A# and F.
golden is in this tuning, too. pick around on the B and G strings for the pretty walk with the others ringing.
then the chords for the verse:
--0------0-------0----------0---
--0------0-------0----------7------
--1------2-------4----------6------
--0------2-------4----------5------
--0------0-------0----------0------
--0------0-------0----------0------
just pick around the open strings, you might not use 'em all.
then go
--0---0---0---0--
--9---7---9---7--
--8---6---8---6--
--7---5---7---5--
--0---0---0---0--
--0---0---0---0--
for the pretty ahh ahh part
then the chorus part is A# C F Dm
A# C F
i've not tabbed before nor posted on this board. if this makes sense i'm glad. if not, ask me a question.
***************************************************
"From the bottom of our coal black hearts...
all the way from louisville kentucky."
the new live album out on Here's Hopin' records.
Ok here are my chords for magheetah,
though your version also seems right delguapo,
No capo,
-------------------
-1--1-3--3-3--3-5-5
-2--2-2--3-3--3-3-3
-3--3-3--5-5--5-5-5
-------------------
-------------------
But this is still work in progress.
oh yeah Golden definitely seems to be in open F, listen to the instore toronto version, i was playing it as openg down a step, but this seems more right, hmmm i'll have to play around with this
how do you tune to E Minor if im usually tuned to E w/
EADGBE ??
EADGBE is standard tuning, not an open chord. for E minor tune the A to a B and the D to an E. the rest are the same.
does anyone know the complete solo for one big holiday, ive got most of it worked out, but would appreciate if someone could post the full solo up! thanks
Picture of you tabs anyone?
erm, thats better, ya picture of you tab or O is the one thats real...both pimp songs :D
My bad they're both on powertabs, sry bout that :D
anyone know this tab goin? thank you.. :(
Open Em | E B E G B E
Capo 1
heres alittle more for golden. i just wish my guitar was as nice as Jim's.

G --1------2-------4----------6------
E --0------2-------4----------5------
B --0------0-------0----------0------

E --0---0---0---0--
B --9---7---9---7--
G --8---6---8---6--
E --0---0---0---0--

B --5------7-------0----------9------
G --6------8-------1----------9------
E --5------7-------0----------9------
B --5------7-------0----------9------
E --0------0-------0----------0------
there is an into part, its F chord with a couple hammer-on's on the B string
Glad the tabpage is still alive and kicking.
Due to little time I haven't been able to finish some tabs I've been working at: strangulation, Just because I do, Magheetah (just intro) and golden.
If someone wants the rough edition of those tabs, just drop me an email and I'll send them to you.
PS I guess, I don't have to mention, they're powertabs ;D
Can someone type the complete guitar tab for 'magheetah', it's such a great song but I can't write this song out, I'm still a beginner in playing guitar :-[
Hello All. WHEEEWIE. I haven't been on these forums in a while. ALmost a year now. Anywho, I have just started to learn guitar, and would love it if anyone could e mail me or just post up the tab for "Heartbreakin Man" Its one of MMJ's best songs in my opinion. Thanks a bunch. My e mail is homeless_elfman@hotmail.com
Hey everyone...I've seen numerous requests for it on this site, but still haven't seen a complete tab yet (I'm afraid I'm gonna be no help as well), but I was just hoping someone had a complete tab of One Big Holiday, with the solo and whatnot.
Dear Jaydun
For your eyes only...
You may want to check out the site www.powertabs.net, download the free powertabeditor software, and download 12 beautifull mmj tablatures(for more info, read the other pages here on this tablatures section, all explanation you need is in there).
greetz and enjoy
In fact,
13 beautiful mmj songs...
PS solo's included
Following the advice of several posters, I went to powertabs.net. I was really impressed! However, when I went to print out the music, my printer misprinted most of the characters and excluded several of the notes. I was expecting this to happen to some extent, but not nearly to the degree that it did. Now, the printout is pretty much worthless. So, I am wondering, is there any way to download a font set/character set so I can get the whole sheet of music printed?
Hey Matthew,
I think the problem lies with your computer. I've already printed out some powertabs and everything went fine.Maybe you do have to change your printer settings? What's the exact problem? Is everything printed out blurred?
Another possibility is to learn the tab sitting in front of your computer with your speakers on, so you can follow the notes played.
Hope I helped you out...
the continued frustration of power tab users should act as motivation for us to post the tabs directly on the msg board. (i would do it myself, but i've had it w/ powertabs). why not give mmj the hits? -i swear lfish must have stock in this company
Quote-i swear lfish must have stock in this company
Damn right I have. I'm riding a big fat buick, smoking cigars, lighted by 100 $ bills and drinking champagne on ice all day. Yep, you all made rich guys out of me....
No, what's your problem with the powertabthing joe? Maybe I can be of any assistance? As for me, I didn't have any problems using the program. Of course there are other similar programs, but a man does have to make a choice...
does anyone have a tab for i needed it most yet?
ta
im hooked on "they ran" acoustic version
anybody have any idea where tabs might be for that
Does anyone know what guitar amps they use. I know they both play out of the three quarter mesa cabinets but Im not sure what type of head they use,, Thanks
How do you open a .ptb file from Powerchords so the characters aren't all screwed up. Any help would be appreciated.
The reason you're having problems with opening the ptb file is because you didn't install the software, which you can find by clicking here
http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=software
Donwloand it, it's for free, install it and if you're having any problems then, just let me know and I'm flying over. ;D
:o
could anyone post up a tab for 'sooner' from the sweatbees ep???
nobody here would happen to have the chords for Golden would they? I'm absolutely in love with this song, and I want to learn it. That inro posted a couple pages back soudns about right, but being able to play the whoel thing woudl rock.
Hello all, new to MMJ and the board. Golden Chords are pretty basic bit J James uses an open eminor tuning, capo at 1st fret. Haven't really experimented with that, but I do capo 1st fret in standard tuning. Here is what I remember as far as chords in standard tuning and will give you a rough idea, please correct any mistakes as I am without guitar and doing it off the top of my head:
Verse:
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Something like this:
(Fmaj7) watchin' a stretch of road, (Bbmaj7) miles of light explode (Cmaj7) feelin in my, etc..
Chorus:
mmm...(Bbmaj7) people always (Cmaj7) told me. that (Fmaj7)bars are dark and (dm) lonely and (Bbmaj7) talk is often (Cmaj7)cheap and filled with (Fmaj7)air.
(Bbmaj7) sure sometimes they (Cmaj7) thrill me but (Fmaj7)nothin' could ever (Dm) chill me. (Bbmaj7) like the way they make the (Cmaj7) time just (Fmaj7) disappear
Hope that was right! Still working on the finger picked licks!
Does anyone have Nashville to Kentucky worked out? Couldn't find it anywhere - little desperate.
Is this anything to do with Benson & Hedges?
They are my fave tabs. ::)
can anyone tell me if its possible to hide the music charts and only look at the tabs with powertabs cause its all to cluttered for me and cramed together.
im not a big fan of it but i enjoy playing the fills and solos of MMJ over the chords and all that jazz but the only tabs on the net are just chords only.
i need the solos and fills of one big holiday but i dont like the crampness of powertabs
can anyone help?
Quotei need the solos and fills of one big holiday but i dont like the crampness of powertabs
The crampness of powertabs. Explain yourself mister.
Guys like you make my powertabs-stocks decline rapidly.
Gee, I lost already a lot of money.
Sorry can't do better then powertabs.
I wonder if somebody has the guitartabs to the song I will be there when you die!
love that song...if you have it...send it to 93silu@utb.ronneby.se

Sorry can't do better then powertabs.
sorry i was talking about the bars with the numbers on it are really cramped together and sometimes hard to read.
but it just took a while to get used to cause im used to normal internet tabs that are just tabs and note the musical notes and bars that i dont know how to read and confuses me. its no big deal now
i am wondering if anyone has figured out the golden intro yet (the finger picking part)
I'm working on golden, but it can take a while. I had to sweep the hard disk of my computer, so software, necessary to run powertabs, is not yet on it.
yo man somebody should post some tabs for i will sing you songs thanks
has anybody sat down with "If All Else Fails" or "Nashville to Kentucky"? I just got the Tennesee Fire today and I'm lovin it so far.
I figured out one big holiday out by ear but nothing else really.....
i hope someone cracks down and give some tabs popping out here...hahaha....
you just might see tab for "I Will Sing You Songs" and "If All Else Fails" sometime soon. I've been playin i wills ing you songs for a while, it's pretty simple. And IF aLL else Fails is simply a matter of me sitting down and learning more than just the intro, which is quite easy if you play with a G chord and just move the root around. It may or may not be capo'd. Once again, I need to listen. I just got the TN Fire yesterday, but the song sounds pretty easy.
By the way, on Golden - Jim has tuned to open E minor by changing the A and D strings.
On I will sing you songs.... and believe me.. I fought with this FOREVER.. He changes the G string a 1/2 or whole step down. I didn't realize this for 2 years when I heard an old live recording and you can hear him doing it before the song. Otherwise, that G string rings wrong as you're trying to play the intro lics. Da de da, De de da, Da Da Da . Da De De Da
thank you lfish if you could write some tabs out for me for i will sing you songs thatd be really nice i have been trying this song for years and cant figure it out
Wow. Man, you guys get really specific, hey?
Word.
Hey Herban.
I'd love to work out some new mmj tabs, but unfortunately I don't find the time to do so. But if I do find some time, I'll sure let you know.
Greetz,
Lfish
Hey thanks for everything on the tabs you guys... ive found a lot to begin with.
I am searching desperately for tabs to "I Needed It Most"
it sounds faily simple to play, but im retarded when it comes to transcribing or picking apart songs.
any of you know even the basic chords? i would LOVE the help finding this one.
i dont check the boards too often, so if you have info, send a reply to my email address...
once again, thanks... =)
-trey
Does anyone know "Dancefloors"? I tried to figure it out last night, but gave up after a few minutes. Does he use a capo on this one?
ok, I've got two good ones fer y'all.
[size=13]"Nashville to Kentucky"
Verse:
Fmaj7..........................Em
From nashville to kentucky
Fmaj7......................Em
My heart draws the line
Fmaj7........................................Em
Somewhere someone thinks of me
Fmaj7.......................................................G
I just wish it was somewhere I could find
Repeat, substituting humming for the words and guitar soloing (I might figure this out too, when i get some time)
Chorus
C.................................Fmaj7........C
Take me out of this dead-end nightmare
C................................Fmaj7....C
Take me out of this hell I'm in
C.................................Fmaj7........C
Take me out of this dead-end nightmare
C...................................G.................C
and put me back in a world i can live.
and just so you don't get too confused (since I'm not sure if my notation for the chord is completely accurate), I'm playing fmaj7 like this: x03210
Then repeat the whole thing as you please...
"If All Else Fails"
This is done with a capo on the 7th fret - Standard tuning
The chords go like this (I'm giving them my own names, because I'm not THAT much of a theory nut)
A (which can also be an Asus2 (x02200) - I think this variation is used for most of the verses)
Ab5 which is xx1220 or xx1200 (normally the sus2 variation for4 the verse)
Dmaj7 which is xx0220 or xx0200 (sus2) for the verse
Intro: fingericked
A Ab5 Dmaj7 A
Verse:
Ab5(sus2)...Dmaj7(sus2)...Asus2
Surely your lips deceive me...
it's the same for all the verses, sometimes with or without the sus2 variation on the chords
Chorus:
A...................E
And I know (That your mine)
A...................E
And I know (That your mine) - can't remember how many times this goes
but end on the A chord, and then take it from an A to Am, so that the next progression is:
Am................................................Em
Sherie your heart, I'll take you there
same progression for the rest of that bit,
then transition straight back into the verse progression.
[/size]
Any comments or additions you may want to make to these are welcome whole-heartedly. My ear is nowehere near perfect, and I may be missing a note in a chord somewhere that is making it sound a little off. Either that or my guitars tone is simply not as muddied as Jim's is int hese recordings. I can't really tell, maybe a bit of both. Either way, these seem to be pretty accurate from just playing along with the album. There's nothing that sounds weird to me ear, but perhaps I have a chord in the interlude slightly wrong in "If All Else Fails". I'm still playing with that one.
Wow. Whatever in the hell this chord is:
QuoteDmaj7 which is xx0220 or xx0200 (sus2)
makes my fingers and head hurt all at once.
But my goodness, you're clearly very good at making tabs!
QuoteWow. Whatever in the hell this chord is:
makes my fingers and head hurt all at once.
But my goodness, you're clearly very good at making tabs!
Do you not know how to play it? Because it's relatively easy to finger.
possibly it should be read like this:
e-0
B-2
G-2
D-0
A-x
E-x
the x's meaning you don't play those strings.
Aha!
Oh man, now I understand. I thought that the xx's and numbers were some kind of strange mathematical equation for acheiving the correct sound.
Much simpler your way! Thanks!! :)

no prob, I didn't feel liek writing out all the string names. I think I might try and do a ocuple more off of the TN Fire pretty soon. They aren't too awfully difficult sounding.
Do any of you guys know about any riffs or solos being tabbed out.
I've spent some time figuring out Johnny's part on the intro section (and between verses) of "the way that he sings" and several others. I suppose the ultimate would be the tab of "One Big Holiday." I wonder how Carl learned all of Johnny's solos. I guess he either has a great ear or had some good coaching from others with great ears.
That would be sweet to get some solo stuff. Any of you guys got any solos or riffs down? Yo.
Carl got all the solo parts from www.powertabs.net ( see under section m of my morning jacket)
;D
just figured this out -
"I Think I'm Goin to Hell" on the album is in this tuning:
Bb F Bb F Bb D
The only chords in the song are (I think) open, barred at the fifth fret, and barred at the seventh fret. And then the 12th fret, then seventh fret, and back to twelfth fret harmonics for the chorus.
Hope that made sense, I'm in a rush.
okay,
Here's "I Think I'm Goin to Hell"
Tuning: Bb F Bb F Bb D
For convenience's sake, I'm gonna name the chords
Bb - 000540
Fmin/open - 000-12-10-0
Eb/open - 000-10-9-0
Eb - 555555
Eb(sus) - 555575
F - 777777
Fsus - 777797
Bb(h) - 12-12-12-12-12-12
F(h) - 777777
(the "h" stands for harmonic)
Intro:
1 bar............1 bar.................2 bars
Eb/open.......Fmin/open..........Bb
Remember to bend up the 9th fret a half-step when playing the Fmin chord. I bend this by pulling it toward the high E string, so that the 10th fret can still ring
Verse:
Doooooooooown in the ceeeeiteeee
Eb or Eb(sus).....................Bb
and so on...
in ashes on the ground
Bb(h) Eb(h) Bb(h)
they think they're goin to hell
Bb(h) Eb(h) Bb(h)
Ooooooooooout in the hooooooooollow
Eb or Eb(sus).....................Bb
etc...
and i
thiiiiiiiiiiink my ooooooooooother would kill me
F or Fsus..........Eb or Eb/sus..........Bb
if she knew what i was about
Bb(h) Eb(h) Bb(h)
i think I'm goin to hell
Bb(h) Eb(h) Bb(h)
play the intro again
then the interlude which is just the
F then Eb then B
progression behind the
Devils and demons are comin
and then you end it with the harmonic pattern played earlier
if you want to incorporate the electric guitar bit into this and make it for solo (I know Jim doesn't play it like this in the video, this is just my personal interpretation) you can play the intro liek this:
Fmin(open)
Eb(open)
Bb
Fmin(open)
Eb(open)
000-12-12-12
and play that twice after the normal intro
There ya go!

Anyone have "Strangulation" tab?
Not the intro/outro.. just the main acoustic part.
i believe that the Strangulation tab is just a few pages back.
I'm gonna work on the acoustic version of They ran for the next couple of days. I'll post what I get
The chords for the acoustic version of They Ran is pretty easy.
Just Capo 6 and its these three.
x02120 x43222 022100
The second one might be off by a fret. I don't have myguitar on me. Just listen to her, the timings pretty easy and all, and theres a little finger moving between chords. If you need mroe help, I'll be glad to assist.
I finally broke down and was planning on installing powertabs, but the software doesn't seem to be there anymore.
Unless I'm blind, it looks like the site was jacked...
No, they don't carry the software on their own site, because of bandwidth problems. They have links to it though. I think its available form cNet or download.com
Didn't find them there either. Oh well...
I think I have powertabs on my computer. How can I get it to you?
http://www.power-tab.net/downloads.php
there ya go. its whicherever one of the two links you wanna click on.
Come Closer
I figured this out by watching Jim's hands when he played this solo acoustic at WPFK on 12-20-02. I suggest you listen to the song to get the rhythm of the chords changes because they are a little tricky and the lyrics and the chords won't line up right on the website. All of the chords are in bar chord form and are shown below.
A couple tips to add in once you've got the gist: Tap the body of the guitar to recreate the bass drum just before "just to send off with you". Jim relies on the chord ringing rather than strumming like crazy, so figure out the right time to hit each chord and let them ring, especially during the "how long can you stay" build up.

no exact picking patterns on there, but you should be able to sound it out pretty easily
Xmas Curtain
This song has an unusual rhythm. He strums triplets on the first beat of each measure. Listen to a recording to get the hang of it.
Intro: E / G A X 4
A / / / B / / / X 2
E
Hey the xmas
G#m
curtain falls on lawbreakers who
F#m
pave the way
A
for thoughtless folks like
B
me and J who
E
play. We can't
G#m
afford the finer things in life, So we
F#m
heist them all
A
The criminals who
B
never break the
E
law
G#m / F#m / A B
E
So, to all you
G#m
frowns go down to town square and
F#m
get some action, from the
A
xmas girl that
B
lives inside your
E
womb. She's always
G#m
there I think that im certain,
F#m
you pay to get behind her Christmas
A
curtain.
B
A
you're the
B
criminal that never breaks the
E
law!
Hope this makes me sense. Enjoy!

that's all I can think of right now. I'm going to try and work on "Isobella with the White Umbrella".
By the way, I'm sure that most of those songs have a capo somewhere when mmj does them, but I usually leave it off because Jim's voice is too high for me most of the time anyway.
Welcome aboard aMillionDreams it's AWESOME as fuck having you on the board, now quick tab "off the record" ;D
i do appreciate that, sweatboard.
I noticed that Just One Thing needs a correction however, The Intro should be Am / / / *Em* / G /
I can't figure out "Dancefloors" for the life of me. I was hoping that they would play it in BHAM so I could watch for the chords, but they didn't....

i was wondering if you all might want to expand this thread or start a new one that is dedicated to other people's song that MMJ covers? I could dedicate chords charts and tabs for "Dream a Little Dream", "I'm Still Felling Blue", "Behind That Locked", "Suspicious Minds" and probably some others too.
I would love to see some tab for "Tyrone".
While I'm at it I've noticed that we have a lot of Dylan fans on the forum, so here is a link to the definitive bob dylan chord site:

Anyone ever bother to figure out Jim's version of "Time of the Season"? I know he has his own chord prgression for it, because the one's i found online suck.
In 'Hopefully', how do you define the chord G/D?
I agree, that is what it said on the tab page. the notes at the bottom said a "quick transition from the G chord to the D chord". I wasn't posting that up there to say it is correct i was looking for help on how to correct it. any suggestions?
hmmm
a G/D would suggest instead of a G as the bass note. So i suppose that a G/D would probably be a G chord played on just the DGBe strings, with nothin on the lower two being played.
but there is a hammer on when he is strumming it, would you say to just hammer on the 1st fret D string?
ummm...ah here we go!
Probably a G chord that looks like this
320003
and you hammer onto
320033
You're right, that tab for 'Hopefully' is way off. Thanks for the Rocketman tab though.
Hey Eisey, have you try to figure out 'Lil Billy' yet?
Haha, give me a few listens with it first man. The song rocks - doesn't sound too hard.
I haven't heard this one, where did you get it? Did they play it at a concert i missed?
QuoteI haven't heard this one, where did you get it? Did they play it at a concert i missed?
I think it's oooooold rmwehner. I don't think I've heard it, either...
it is old, relatively speaking. They played it in 00 and 01. There is a thread in the music section about it and we're trying to keep the thread alive so that the band will put it back in rotation. Go ahead and give it a bump! :)
about hopefully,
I think you hammer onto the second fret of the G string. I need to find my capo and figure this out.

anyone know "i won't cry" from the "Ch.2 Early Recordings" disc?
ok, I got Oxen figured out
its in CGCGCe tuning
C- 000000
Fsus- 555000
Gsus- 777000
F-555555
G-777777
intro is C C Fsus Gsus
(not counted in full bars, but in symmetricitiousness. therefore, you play twice as much C chord as the the others individually. if youve heard it, its easy. One thing to remember, at the end of it, make sure you strum the top strings. Lay off of em for most of strumming, but hit them at the end of the bar for accent)
wanted to see your holy vow

This is what I've got for 'I Won't Cry' so far. I'm pretty sure that it's mostly right. The second guitar adds a lot to this song and I'd appreciate some help figuring out some of those licks.

hey all - i've been lurking the boards for a spell now, just registered. anywho -
i've got a chord chart/tab thing worked out for 'knot comes loose', but im seeking permission to post it along with the lyrics, as per standard. i just do this because i wouldn't want to ruin the record for anyone who was able to exert some self control and not seek it out early (not to worry, i already have my double vinyl ordered).
i also have a dead knock-out of hopefully that im working on typing up and hope to post here in the next few days. i'm working on a few others from the new set as well (dandante for instance - is actually pretty simplistic sans the lead guitar line)
so - let me know if some folks would/would not like to see the knot comes loose tab.
thanks
Please keep this thread alive. Love all the old songs as well as the new! Thanks for the tabs!

I noticed well browsing through here Picture of You was mentioned but from what Ive seen there wasnt a tab for it. Does anyone happen to know how to play it?
