Biography:
What the hell is a Wrinkle Neck Mule? A sophomoric phallic reference? Too easy. A pack animal used in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico to transport opium to America in the early 1900s? History channel worthy, but wrong. A band of five (or four, depending on the wind) from Richmond, Virginia carrying indie-rockish country music about the land? Eureka. Daily double.
Born somewhere on I-64 between Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia in late 1999

DISCARDED - Wrinkle Neck Mules
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: A.J. Conner
E-mail: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard
Sixth song on the album. This song features a mandolin playing the main riff,
but I have tabbed the riff for guitar. Like other songs on the album, this one
has a little walk up riff that is often played right before going into a chord.
In this instance it's played before playing the G chord in the verse and is
played as follows:
E|--0-2-3--| Simple enough.
You can also walkup from Am to C in the chorus of the song by playing this:
A|--0-2-3--|
CHORDS USED:
Am: x02210
F: xx3211
G: 320033
C: x32010
E: 022100
MAIN RIFF (Play three times in intro):
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------5---------------------------------------|
D|----------2-2-2-3-3/5-2-3/7-7-7-7----7-------------------------------------|
A|--0-0-0-3------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The chords that are played overtop of the riff are as follows
(each line represents one cycle of the riff):
Am G
Am F G Am
Am
Next play the walkup riff followed by these chords:
G F Am
VERSE:
Am G F G Am
It's hard and uneasy, livin' in this skipped over town
Am G F G Am
Once was called a music city since has been scaled down
(MAIN RIFF 1x)
G F Am
VERSE 2:
Am G F G Am
The oil that once was pavement, the mud that once was brick
Am G F G Am
Engulfs the gossamer river like hot wax on a wick
CHORUS:
C G
What once was grey is now greyer,
F E
What once was cloudy is gone
Am G
The streets are all layered
F G Am
With discarded honky tonk songs
F G Am
Discarded honky tonk songs
(MAIN RIFF 3x)
G F Am
VERSE 3 LYRICS (Same chords as other VERSES):
Am G
Everyone fears the color scarlet
F G Am
With a misguided prejudice
Am G
They all point their crooked little fingers
F G Am
At the high school reading list
(MAIN RIFF 1x)
G F Am
SOLO:
Am G F G Am
Am G F G Am
C G F E
C G F G Am
(CHORUS)
(MAIN RIFF 3x)
G F Am
END
"See my mule don't like people laughin'. Gets the crazy
idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize like
I know you're going to, I might convince him that you
really didn't mean it."
