Subject: CRD: New Madrid by Uncle Tupelo
New Madrid
by Uncle Tupelo
from the album Anodyne
transcribed by Bill Filler
Intro: A Bm
Verse
A D A
All my daydreams are disasters
A D A
She’s the one, I think I love
A F#m D
Rivers burn, men run backwards
A D
And for her, that’s enough
A D A
They all come from New York City
A D A
They woke me up at dawn
A F#m D
She walked with me to the fountain
A D
She held onto my arm
Chorus
A
C’mon do what you did
D Bm
Roll me under New Madrid
D E
Shake my baby and please bring her back
A
His death won’t even be still
D Bm
Carum’s over the landfill
D E A
Buries us all in it’s broken back
Verse (same chords as first verse)
There’s a man conviction
And although he’s getting old
Mr. Browning has a prediction
We’ve all been told
So come on back to New York City
Roll your trucks in at dawn
Walk with me to the fountain
And hold onto my arm
Chorus
last chorus ends like this
D – E – A – F# – D – E – A
there is a common walk up pattern used throughout (usually when
moving from the A to D). It goes 0-2-4 (on A string a-b-c#) to D
