1. oooooooooooohhhhh! Hot.

2. Annie, if you figure out how they get the melody out of that please let me know. I’m learning the chords in two registrations — the cowboy chords and the bar chords (mostly) between frets 5 and 8. I still cannot quite find the notes he’s playing. Thanks!! ef

3. Thanks for the chords 🙂

4. There are actually a few versions == this is one of the songs they seem to rework in the middle of a performance. Thanks for the alt/revised lyrics…!

   xxef

5. but i think these are the correct lyrics (from the album booklet) – 😉

   Reckoner
   You can’t take it with you
   Dancing for your pleasure

   You are not to blame for
   Bittersweet distractor
   Dare not speak its name
   Dedicated to all you
   all human beings

   Because we separate like
   ripples on a blank shore
   (in rainbows)
   Because we separate like
   ripples on a blank shore

   Reckoner

   Take me with you
   Dedicated to all you
   all human beings

6. not bad…
