    Question Two of Us-John Reischman & The Jaybirds

    Great Beatles tune on the Butch Baldassari tribute CD. I have the melody for most of the tune but not the bridge. I was wondering if anybody worked these chords out.

    I'm pretty sure it's in A

    A////A////D/A/Bm/A/
    A////A////D/A/Bm/E/A/
    Bm///A/Bm///A/

    What am I missing here (I know there's something weird with the beat count, I'm all messed up)?

    I haven't tried to get to the bridge yet, but any takers on that would be welcomed.

    What a great rendition, very tasteful, nothing hokey about it.

    Key A

    (C)You and I have (Em)memories

    (Am)Longer than the (Bm)road that stretches(Bm7) out (E)ahead

    (That guitar lick/chords after "We're on our way home" rocks back & forth between A-D

    For guitar it's easier played capo 2 out of G-
    you can get those walk down notes into Am ( Bm actually)
    You can find the chords ( Beatles) here in G:

    Thank you. And regarding the A-D part. It seems like the lick ("On our way home") is B-C#-D-C#. Is that how you play it?

    yes, that sounds like it- the notes do follow that line.
    they let the D hang, at times- between the singing parts.

    Great tune!

    Where I have D/C# shown, that indicates it's a D chord played, but with a C# in the bass.
    similarly the Em/B is an E minor chord with a B in the bass.

    Code:
    A / / /  A / / /
    A / D /  D/C# / Bm / Bm /
    A / / /  A / / /
    
    A
    Two of us riding nowhere
                       D    D/C#    Bm
    Spending someone's hard-earned pay
    A
    You and me Sunday driving
                 D  D/C# Bm  E   A
    Not arriving on our way back home
          D          A
    We're on our way home
          D          A
    We're on our way home
          D     A
    We're going home
    
    A / / / A / / /
    
    Two of us sending postcards
    Writing letters on my wall
    You and me burning matches
    Lifting latches on our way back home
    We're on our way home
    We're on our way home
    We're going home
    
    [BRIDGE]
    C              Em/B
    You and I have memories
    Am              Bm                  E7
    Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
    
    [Breaks go over verse and bridge:
    Banjo over first 4 lines of verse, Guitar over second part (we're on our way home)
    Fiddle over the bridge, Mandolin over first part of the verse,
    then skip the (we're on our way home) part and go straight into the bridge repeat
    
    [BRIDGE]
    
    Two of us wearing raincoats
    Standing solo in the sun
    You and me chasing paper
    Getting nowhere on our way back home
    We're on our way home
    We're on our way home
    We're going home

    Thanks to both of you. Nice work Mr. Sausage. That will make it easier for me to introduce this song to the band I'm in. I need to try to get some of the essence of Reischman's solo.
