"The Story I Heard"
Blind Pilot
3 Rounds and a Sound
All chords relative to capo.
Chords used:
F7sus2/C (F*) 1x3010
Notes to playing it JUST like Blind Pilot:
1) He does this little pinky thing with his F chord. First he'll emphasize the open E
the F7, then he'll emphasise the D on the F11, then back to the E string on the F7, and
he'll do a sort of melodic fall from the F9-F7-F11-F7. (emphasize the notes, G-E-D-C).
great video is found on youtube by searching, Blue Ribbon Vision @ the riverside
In fact, in that video he breaks his A string (on purpose!) to avoid hitting that nasty
(which I included for the C chords)
2) When strumming verse, he does a weird pull of thing with the 2nd fret on the G
but it's VERY brief, don't over do it! The idea is a F7-F*-F7- real quick.
3) When strumming the bridge (Amin chord), he uses pull offs on the 2nd fret of the D
G strings. He also plays the f7 chord for only 1 strum!
4) He changes the strumming pattern towards the end (on the chorus section) to
a melody involving the D on the B string (3rd fret). I'm too lazy to tab it out,
have
use your ear. Check out the video, it'll help loads!
Hey, JoJo.
Yeah, I know your name.
I thought I saw you
jump the Utah train,
iin
but I could not say.
I could not say.
Heard you tried to
keep your hat on a shelf.
Marry the woman,
went off and loved someone else.
inin
Could be as well.
I cannot tell.
Oh, no I cannot tell!
Hey, JoJo,
don't you forget your name.
Might try to keep you
from the man you have been.
inin
So, don't go that way.
Don't go that way.
Oh, 'cause the story I heard
is the people are bored
and the measures you take
to wrestle with your Lord.
All the money you take?
All the memories you spill...
Will He measure your tongue?
Will He measure your will?
Oh, now?
One of these mornings
we'll be the loudest you'll hear.
You'll write your story on firecracker paper,
in in
And disappear...
Near disappear...
in in
And disappear...
Near disappear...
Oh, 'cause the story I heard
is the people are bored
and the measures you take
to wrestle with your Lord.
All the measures you fake...
Whether you're dead or just still...
Will He measure your tongue?
Will He measure your will?
Oh, now?
One of these mornings,
We'll be...
We'll be...
One of these mornings,
We'll be...
We'll be home.
BOO YAH!
