xThe Black Crowes Song Title: Wounded Bird TBC Original? Yes Written By: Chris and Rich Robinson Recording Session: Warpaint Record: Warpaint Live Debut: 03/02/2008 Shows: 45 times played live Notes: This song was recorded in July, 2007 at Allaire Studios, Shokan, NY. It was produced by Paul Stacey and The Black Crowes. “Rich came up with that riff and it all fell out from that. It's a song about loss but with the realization that nothing can really kill you. This life is an experience and we can't hide from any of it. It's kind of harsh but it definitely represents letting go. It's the only Taoist rock song on the album.” - Chris Robinson ------------------------- The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com Tuning: DGDGBD (Open G) Unlike I first thought, this one is in fact in open G (well, Rich plays it live in that tuning, and some of the positions do make more sense that way, so I'm going to assume it was recorded in open G as well). This tab contains the rhythm guitar only, and is not transcribed note for note.

The last time through continue on to the second ending. It's hard to tell what Rich is doing here, the sound gets a little muddy, but this will suffice. After the interlude, the chorus is repeated, and Rich repeatedly hits the chords over the "set your mind to fly" lyrics and Luther's slide lines.
