Another 10 miles

Group: Caedmon's Call Album: "Just Don't Want Coffee" Song Title: "Another 10 Miles" well, guys... if 'April Showers' is the easiest song that the guys do, this is quite possibly the hardest. It is possible to take all the progressions and simplify them to familiar chords, but of course then you ahve taken all the flavor out of a really rad song. Anyway, here it is. Derek is the only person playing, and the main verse and intro/ chrous riffs are not any normal chord; they are base chords with a few strings left open. I have been putting names up for these kind of chords, their names in theory, which can be odd (have you seen the 'Suicidal Stones' tab?!?), but was told that was confusing so will just tab them out. The song, btw, is in , capoed at the third fret to put it in , but don't count on that helping much... (i'm telling you, this one is nuts!) Derek: clean guitar (Capo-3) ------ Intro: --0-0---0--0----0-0---0-0-0--- --3-3---1--1----3-3---1-1-1--- --4-4---2--2----4-4---2-2-2--- --5-5---3--0----5-5---3-0-0--- --5-5---3--3----5-5---3-3-3--- --3-3---1--0----3-3---1-0-0--- Just repeat this over and over. The best way to finger this: 2nd string: 1st finger 3rd string: 2nd finger 4th string: 3rd finger 5th string: 4th finger 6th string: loop thumb over It will take time to get used to pulling that 3rd finger up, just keep practicing. It will come. Verse 1: -------- The changes are really fast, so I'm not gonna put chords over words. I will put the part, it is only 4 strums, and it is just repeated over and over. Work on playing it muted, it sounds better. Also, in the middle of each verse, one riff of the intro is thrown in. It is obvious when you listen to the record. --3----3---0-0--0--- --3----3---1-1--1--- --0h2------2-2--2--- --0--------3-3--0--- --x--------3-3--3--- --3--------1-1--0--- The best fingering for these: First one, the one like a G: 1st string: 4th finger 2nd string: 3rd finger 6th string: 2nd finger, also muting 5th string 3rd string: (the hammer) 1st string I don't see what you see in me I'm just flesh and bone Many hours at the carrousel, Postcards from far from home Sometimes I feel as useless as my empty words, old president's dogs, clean paws, no dirt- What do these words mean? Sometimes I just don't know. Sometimes I just can't see where it is I go- I waste my whole day thinking over things I've said and avoiding myself like the plague in my head Bridge 1: --------- I know that you see me and I know You're about me, that's why You let me roam Chorus: ------- Just play the intro part over and over... Another 10 Miles... (Sax solo) Verse 2: (Same as verse 1, see above) -------- Where does this all lead, and why must I follow it? Nothing is black and white, (even me, I must admit). I jot down the facts and work on consistency, but open up the closet door; it's George, and the cat, and me. My shifting eyes like sands cannot focus on the void, concentration still, "Get thee behind me, Freud." I'm grasping at straws and the bale is almost gone; the fire's grown much too dim, nights grow much too long- Bridge 1 (Same as above) Chorus (Same as above) Bridge 2: --------- I am holding things Yours, not mine while I should cling to You like a cow beneath the light of a highway sign. (Percussion and Sax solo) Bridge 1 (Same as above) Chorus Chorus ------------------ Chord Signatures: ------------------ E|-3---2---0---2---2---2---0---1---0---2---2---0-- B|-3---3---2---3---3---2---0---3---1---3---1---3-- G|-0---2---2---4---2---2---1---3---0---2---2---0-- D|-0---0---2---4---4---4---2---3---2---0---0---2-- A|-2---0---0---2---2---4---2---1---3---x---x---3-- e|-3---2---x---x---x---2---0---x--(3)--x---x---x-- Brett [email protected] 7:15 PM 12/7/96 Lyrics printed by permission of Derek Webb and Aaron Tate.
