Jeff Tweedy

Biography:

Jeff Tweedy (born August 25, 1967 in Belleville, Illinois, United States) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and poet best known for his work with the group Wilco. Tweedy joined rockabilly band The Plebes with high school friend Jay Farrar in the early 1980s, but Tweedy's musical interests caused one of Farrar's brothers to quit. The Plebes changed their name to The Primitives in 1984, and subsequently to Uncle Tupelo. Jeff is also a member of Golden Smog

A Amaj7 x2

A Amaj7 A Amaj7
His goal in life was to be an nickel
A Amaj7 Bm
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll
Dm A Amaj7 A Amaj7
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her
A Amaj7 C#m E
She appears in his dreams
F#m F#mMaj7
But in his car and in his arms
Bm
A dream can mean anything
DmII C
A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her
E
But he never could

C#m E
Remember to remember me
C#m E7
Standing still in your past
E7addC A
Floating fast like a hummingbird

E Emaj7 E Emaj7
His goal in life was to be an echo
E
The type of sound that floats around
Emaj7 F#m
And then back down like a feather
Am
But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans
E Emaj7
No one could hear him
B
Or anything
E Emaj7 G#m B
So he slept on a mountain
C#m G#/C#
In a sleeping bag underneath the stars
F#m F#m7
He would lie awake and count them
Am
And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way
G B
Would never let him die alone

E Emaj7
Remember to remember me
C#m E7
Standing still in your past
E7addC A
Floating fast like a hummingbird

E Emaj7
Remember to remember me
C#m E7
Standing still in your past
E7addC A B
Floating fast like a hummingbird, hummingbird

E Emaj7 G#m C#m G#/C# F#m Am
E Emaj7 G#m C#m G#/C# F#m Am G B
