Ashes of American Flags
by Wilco  
/////////

Transcribed by Chad El-Zayaty <selzaya@uchospitals.edu>

I don't think it gets any better than this album.  There are some
tricky chords and I'm not sure what they're called so I gave them names
(probably erroneously).


F#dim7th     xx121x   <-- sounds much cooler than a regular F#maj
Em           xx2453   <-- use only during chorus, not during the verse
Em/maj7th    xx2443
A/C#         x4222x


Intro:

e |----------------------------
B |----------------------------
G |---------------------------- 
D |--0---------------------2---
A |------0-------------2-------
E |-----------2----3-----------


Jay Bennett's guitar riff in background:
e|------5--------------
B|----------8b~~~~~----   <-- bend like crazy
G|---------------------
D|-7-------------------
A|---------------------
E|---------------------


D               G
the cash...     is blue...
D               G
for a hundred.. and a small...

Em               A
i could spend... and sixty...
D                G
on diet...       and unlit...

D    G    D    G

Em           A  
i wonder ... when nobody ...
D            G
how hot ...  this machine ...


Chorus:

F#dim7        G               Bm
       all my lies...         wishes.
Em      Em/maj7       A/C#           D 
       i know i would die...    back new.


The rest of the song follows this pattern.
Any corrections/comments are welcome.
