The Inlaw Josie Wales

from Eric_Sievers@spgl.com <Eric_Sievers@spgl.com>
 
So here it is. This comes from the version that was on Austin City
Limits. This song is performed in DADGAD tuning (thanks Dave!),
which is double dropped D with the addition of dropping the B to
an A. I play the bottom three strings with my thumb and the GAD
strings with my middle, ring, and pinky fingers respectively. Trey
uses his pointer finger on certain parts. If you have trouble with
this style of fingerpicking, I would recommend you buy the official
tab for Billy Breathes and try the title track. It's slower, and
it's in standard tuning so the chord shapes are more familiar (and
a sweet tune taboot!). I've notated the timing through spacing
(every four dashes equals one beat). In the case of frets higher
than 9, I put the second number where the note should fall (unless at
the very beginning of a measure). Most of this is sight verified
(I watched that two and a half minutes of tape over and over!), so
I'm pretty confident that almost all of it is right. Feel free to
email me at eric_sievers@spgl.com with questions or whatnot. Also,
please note that I have not compared this to the Farmhouse version,
(can I have my CD back, Shaun?) but I would guess there are a couple
minor differences. Have Fun! -E
 
*nh = natural harmonic
*ho = hammer on
*po = pull off
*sl = slide (I used this once where I couldn't fit a '/' before
 the note)

Alternate Transcription

Transcribed by Jonathan Attea (Buffalo, NY) JMOSES90@AOL.COM
 
So I just got back from summer 2000 tour and I was so moved by the 7-15
closer with Inlaw (even though that wasn't the first time I saw it) that
I needed to figure out how to play it on guitar. I checked the internet
and found that the current transcription of it (and this is with no offense
intended at all towards the previous transcriber) is almost totally wrong,
so I sat down to figure it out. Be warned, this song is TOUGH. Reading the
tabs is not enough, you almost have to get into a Trey-mindset to get all
the nuances down. It would be almost useless to try to learn this song from
tabs without it playing in the stereo next to you, as there are complex
rhythms that can not be explained with tablature.
 
Well, here goes. (By the way, I am pretty good at figuring things out
by ear, if anyone wants help figuring something out, feel free to e-mail
me at the above address.)
 
The song is in standard tuning, down one full step:
 
Tuned from thickest string to thinnest string, D G C F A D. Obviously you
can forego the dropped tuning and it will sound fine, just higher in pitch.
 
I have labeled different sections of the song as "verses." This is
just to be organized. I did this whenever there was a noticable change
in the song.
 
I have also put time references in (from Track 10 off of Farmhouse),
to help you keep your place.

Immediately following this, starting at 1:31, is a slow progression
down from G to D/F# to F to E (in reality, with the detuned guitar, the
chords are F, C/E, Eb, then D, but I just call them by their usual
positions on the guitar neck). Use the typical open chords with a simple
folksy comp on each (If you have gotten this far, you should know what all
that means). Listen to the cd to understand what I mean. When you get
to E, instead of comping on typical open-E, substitute the intro, then:
