a few notes at the risk of being verbose:
i saw this song transcribed differently
on a website, with the capo on the 5th fret,
with the chords BmGDA, (and that's the way richard does it live
i believe) but i play along with the CD with no capo,
in the key of Em/G (i think that's right).
both ways sound right when played along with the CD,
but i like my way better.
just use an easy, free-picking style, listen to how richard plays,
and you'll see what i mean.
sorry, i don't write tab; i play by ear...
but it's really quite simple.
he adds a lot of hammer-ons and twiddly things in there.
really a pretty song.
comments, suggestions ?
feel free...

(remember this is just my personal interpretation of the song.
you don't like it, go buy the sheet music. if you can find it.)

Wisteria
-Richard Shindell (Somewhere Near Paterson)
(free finger-picking )
let's not drive away just yet
Give me a mo- ment more
to walk through those rooms again
to walk through that door
if we turn off the radio
i've only to close my eyes
and the wind in the sycamores
will carry me home
the vine of my memory
is blooming around those eaves
but it's true it's a chore to tame wis - ter- ia
wis - ter- ia
i'm tempted to ring the bell
maybe they'd ask me in
or maybe it's just as well
to just let it be
remember the price we paid?
it seemed like a lot back then
remember the love we made
the day we moved in?
the vine of my memory
is blooming around those eaves
but it's true it's a chore to tame wis - ter - ia
wis - ter- ia
(solo)
it did need some pruning back
and i know that it's not my place
but how could they just cut it down
and leave not a trace?
let's not drive away just yet
give me a mo - ment more
to walk through those dreams again
to walk through that door
the vine of my memory
still blooms all around those eaves
and it's true it's a chore to tame wis - te - ria
wis - te - ria
wis - te - ria
wis - te - ria
