"Cast Away Dreams" tabs
 

This song is in open G tuning (D-G-D-G-B-D), but is tuned down a half-step for the studio version and up a half-step for the live version. The lowest string isn't used in this as far as I know. Enjoy!

Em: x99980
Am: x22210
C: x55555
D: x77777
Bm: x44430
A: x22222

(D) It would do no (G) good

(D) Where no one re (G) members their name
And nothing but (A) nothing is (D) free

That's more or less exactly what way I play it as well. Though I use xx2002 as the Em chord, since that's how Lindsey seemed to do it in the Pabst DVD.

Cheers.

Sweet! Thanks! :)

The chords I put here are what Lindsey is playing on the album version. The live version has 2 or 3 guitars all playing at the same time, so things may be a bit different. It's all open to creative interpretation though. I happen to prefer to play it in Open E with a capo on the second fret, and just move the chord shapes down one string and have the 2 highest strings ringing out. It really depends on what you think works best.

Oh yeah, I know that isn't how the studio version goes. I spent ages listening to it with "Transcribe!" because I'm a bit of a stickler about figuring out exactly what's being played, but I just find it fast/easier than having to shift the whole way up the neck when playing it, especially during the chorus. I tend to play it in Open G most of the time since that's what my guitar is in most of the time and it's still within my vocal range to sing, so I don't have to retune up or down 1/2 a step each time I want to play it.

I know this was posted somewhere on here before...I think. Where can I find more Lindsey tabs/chords for UTS?? :cool:

If you would like I can post what was displayed in the recent acoustic guitar magazine. But, that will have to be tomorrow. Let me know.

Thanks Peetsie!!

I do have the recent acoustic magazine, so there's no need unless someone else wants it! :wavey: Thanks for the offer though! :D

OK...but you now owe me for the offer...I will send you a PM. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd like the tabs from the magazine. I'm sure I could figure out whatever song it is on my own anyway (I haven't worked on much stuff from UTS), but I'd still like to see it.

I do not have the magazine in front of me, so I am not sure and do not recall what is displayed....but I am happy to scan for you and post tomorrow. :wavey:

You still have it?
