Wilco - Sunken Treasure

this is jeff tweedy’s solo version of the song .

capo on the 2nd fret for this one . also , tune your top “e” string down to A “d”
for this song , the G chord will be played like an Em7 which is 020030 .
an Em is played 222000 . play other chords normally . see song for timing
of chord changes . when you come to G , hammer on the a string .
i fingerpick the song but you can use a pick as well .

intro : D G ( x2 )

verse :
D G D G
there’s rows and rows of houses

D G D G
with the windows painted blue

D G D G
with the light from a tv

D G D G
running parallel to you

( same pattern unless noted )

but there is no sunken treasure
rumored to be
wrapped inside my ribs
in a sea black with ink

if i had a mountain
i’d try to fold it over
and if i had a boat
you know it would probably roll over

and i leave it on the shore
i’d leave it for somebody
surely there’s somebody
who needs it more than me

A
i Am so

G
i Am so
D
out of tune

Em
i Am so
A
out of tune
D
with you

( back to normal verse )

for all the leaves we burn
autumn fires and then return
for all the leaves we burn
all will return

( once you sing “return” you pluck the top D string . remember your guitar is tuned
to dadgbe . for the rest of the way you hit just the D string as you sing :

music is my savior
i was maimed by rock n roll
i was maimed by rock n roll
i was tamed by rock n roll
got my name from rock n roll

that’s it . the version he plays on his solo tours can be found here :

it seems like a difficult song but once you get the timing and everything it’s
really fun to play . any comments hit me up below at the comment section , i always
answer . this is 100% right . i watched his fingers . keep strummin’ guys .
