"Weightless Again" by The Handsome Family
Transcribed by MericanSoil
Standard Tuning
Similar to some of the previous transcriptions, but many of the chords were omitted/overlooked
from the earlier attempts. This should be pretty spot on…
Intro (played the same way as verse):
Am Am
D Dm Am Am
G D Am, G D Am
Verse 1:
D Dm Am
We stopped for coffee in the redwood forest
G D Am G D Am
Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream
D Dm Am
I wanted to kiss you, but I wasn't sure how
G D Am G D Am
Like those indians lost in the rain forest
D Dm Am
Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went
G D Am G D E E7
They all had forgo___tten how to start a fire
Chorus:
C Am E E7
This is why people OD on pills
C Am E E7
And jump from the golden gate bridge
C Am E
Anything to feel weightless again
Intro Again:
Am Am
D Dm Am Am
G D Am, G D Am
Verse 2:
D Dm Am
Those poor lost indians, when the white man found them
G D Am G D Am
Most died of TB, the rest went insane
D Dm Am
In our motel room you're drinking slice and gin
G D Am G D Am
Reading Moby Dick on the other bed
D Dm Am
Remember the first time we slept together?
G D Am G D E E7
You said it felt like when you learned to float
Chorus:
C Am E E7
This is why people OD on pills
C Am E E7
And jump from the golden gate bridge
C Am E
Anything to feel weightless again [stop]
