Chris thile's music

[Any Day Now]

Does anybody know a site or just know the chords for some of the songs from that CD. The songs I really wanted to learn were Heart in a Cage (its a lot different than the strokes version), How to grow a woman from the ground, wayside back in time, and dead leaves and the dirty ground. Funny they are all covers, I think wayside may just be a standard 145 progression. I may just sit and figure them out but I don't have a lot of free time this month.

wayside-is pretty easy to figure out - mostly g-c-em .....and the bridge is something like em-c-em-g... -just give it a try

Dead leaves-
A A/G
Dead leaves and the dirty ground
C D A A/G A
When I know you're not around
A/G
Shiny tops and soda pops
C D A
When I hear your lips make a sound
F5 G5 A A/G A
When I hear your lips make a sound
A/G
Thirty notes in the mailbox
C D A A/G A
Will tell you that I'm coming home
A/G
And I think I'm gonna stick around
C D A
For a while so you're not alone
F5 G5 A
For a while so you're not alone

VERSE 2:
A /g
If you can hear a piano fall
/f# /f A A/G A
You can hear me coming down the hall
A/G
If I could just hear your pretty voice
C D A
I don't think I need to see at all
F5 G5 A A/G A
I don't think I need to see at all
A/G
Soft hair and a velvet tongue

I think there is a Bm in Wayside; don't haven my mando in hand though

[Any Day Now]

thanks for the reply. Does anyone know the chords for "How to Grow a Woman From the Ground?" That is one I really want to learn.

[bradeinhorn]

why don't you write to chris from his myspace page?

[Any Day Now]

does he generally answer back? I would think he gets a lot of myspace messages.

Heart in a cage: someone put this up as "Strokes - Heart In A Cage Acoustic chords"

If you substitute G and C for Em and A in the bridge (all our friends are laughing at us) you've got Thile's version, besides all the rhythmic changes and sweet licks.

Yep.
