Umphrey's McGee

B------------8-----------7-------|-----------6--------------------|

A-7--------------------9---------|-5-----------------7------------|
E------------------7-------------|-----------------5--------------|
It was cold in the kitchen and the lights were low
As winter slowly stumbled home
The air felt different and it started to show
As every breath resembled smoke
I was short of opinions and I wanted to know
If you'd still be here tomorrow
Cuz it was cold in the kitchen and the lights were low
As winter wrapped around Chicago
The T.V.'s on too much
And I don't ever think enough
About the things that matter most
Or what can make me old
And there's no argument
For wasting time much better spent
Complacent(ly) *BB is not one to stick to the same lyrics...
(in) replacing
A melody with smoke
I play these chords like this...
As has been suggested, you can play around with these chords a lot.
For instance, using m7th's or m11th's, or 7sus4's...
E-7---7---5---5---7-----7-5-5---|
B-8---7---6---5---7-----7-7-5---|
G-7---7---5---5---9-----8-7-6---|
D-9---7---7---5---9-----9-7-7---|
A-7---9---5---7---7-----9-5-7---|
E-----7-------5---------7---5---|
Play this 3 times...
E--------------------------------0--|-0-------------0---0------------|
B-/9-----------------------------0--|-0-------------0---0------------|
G-/9--11--9----------------------4--|-6-------------4---6------------|
D-----11--9-/9-\7--6--6--4--2----5--|-7-------------5---7------------|
A-----------/11\9--7--7--4--2----5--|-7-------------5---7------------|
E--------------------------------3--|-5-------------3---5------------|
Or this way as suggested by Mark Gedmin (mrgedmi@ilstu.edu)
E-----------------0--0---|
B--9-7-5----------0--0---|
G---------4-2-1---4--6---|
D--9-7-6----------5--7---|
A---------5-2-2---5--7---|
E-----------------3--5---|
Then this transition riff to get to the next part...
E--------------------------------|
B-7-6-----6-----6-9-8------8-----|
G-----9-7---7-9-------11-9-------|
D--------------------------------|
A--------------------------------|
E--------------------------------|
Repeat this with the following lyrics...
E-0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0-|
B-0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0-|
G-8---6--4---2--1---2--4---6-|
D-9---7--5---3--2---3--5---7-|
A-9---7--5---3--2---3--5---7-|
E-7---5--3---1--0---1--3---5-|
I don't expect a smile when I come home
But the blankets that I stole should keep you warm
I hope there's not enough to fill a hole
I'm further from the source to feel the floor
Then this again...
E--------------------------------|
B-7-6-----6-----6-9-8------8-----|
G-----9-7---7-9-------11-9-------|
D--------------------------------|
A--------------------------------|
E--------------------------------|
Now repeat everything up to the 1st transition riff,
and end with an A chord that fades into a B chord.
