• A

Song:   Wilco (the song)
Band:   Wilco
Album:  (Live performance)
Tuning: Standard, down 1 whole step


Note:  This was taken from the 10/30/2008 Wilco performance on Comedy
Central's "The Colbert Report".  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3XHusLu7SU

The general rhythm of the song is 4:4, 2 chords per measure, all done as 
bar chords.  The "A G E" sequence is better transcribed as:

   1   2    3   4     1   2     3   4
   A/A/A/A  G/G/G/G   E/E/F/E   -/E/Esus2/E

   A      5776xx
   G      3554xx
   E      0769xx
   F      887Txx  (T=10)
   Esus2  096xxx

It sounds OK using normal shapes, playing the Esus2 as Em.  Other bar
chords are documented below:

   Am     57755x
   B      799877
   F#m    244222
   C#m    9EE999  (E=11)
