Untitled (my Sweethart The Drunk) by Jeff Buckley
Hi all,
There's this one untitled song, that Jeff Buckley wrote as a demo for
My Sweetheart the Drunk. It's a bad quality recording but probably
one of the most moving (though possibly one of the most depressing)
songs I think he's made. I've never been able to track down a tab for
it.
So I''m going to get the ball rolling by putting my fairly amateur
attempt up on the internet. I'm pretty hazy with most of it, but I
think have got the basic sound. The bass comes through on most of
Jeff Buckleys guitar-work but perhaps moreso on this recording due to
the low quality and reverb higher than his usual flavour (surprising to
whoever has listened to his acoustic performances).
I've tried my best to imitate the feel, but I can't hear the finer
parts of the melody and have mercy on me, this is my first tablature.
Indeed some of the melody is missing. Also absent are the chords from
"Young life crushes young love" to the end. The tab below is the
intro, first two verses and coda. FINISH IT FOR ME PLEASE! :)
(When viewing be sure to copy this into notepad or some other text
editor that uses a fixed-width font)
Cheers,
Jarrod Moldrich

Lyrics from alwaysontherun.net:
Take the pain in ‘til it all rings hollow
We’ll learn to loathe the truth as it shines
I already see the ghosts on the sidewalk
Kissing in the hereafter
Your hands are in your pockets as you face her
And your bodies both frozen by the door
Only one knows they’re watching it die
The other from hereafter
Young life crushes young love
You’ve learned to think love is for somebody else
Make your heart deliver for yourself
And the man you loved just doesn’t know who just what he’s after
Chances are you wouldn’t even recognize the man I am now
Chances are you wouldn’t even recognize the man I am now
Chances are you wouldn’t even recognize the man I am now
And make up any excuse to enemies you can’t control
The knife wanders through me so slow
It cuts between us as we grow
