MARRIAGE TREE live version - LIVE AT MAXWELL'S, HOBOKEN album version - HOUSE TORNADO ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ some kind of 'nightmare-like cowboy song' (which is what i love about MARRIAGE TREE) with an 'old man in a dress'. the intro contains parts in 5/8! like in several of TM's earlier songs there are many tiny chord changes that are barely audible. i hope i figured them all out. ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ (on this version the guitar is tuned down 2 half-steps to D-G-C-F-A-D) intro: d-------------------------------------- a-------------------------------------- f---------0---------------------------- c----3---3--3-0h3---3------------------
