Moodswing Whiskey

 

Essentially this song is simple to play but the fact Jeff does a thousand variations and the chords are some of the weirdest I've ever seen makes it more difficult.

 

Intro/Verse

The Words start:  Repeat twice, 

(All bracket notes are kind of optional add-ons. And the second picked

ending is rarely played: the 222 54 ending is played most.)

(A weird strummy thing happens on the Mystery White Boy recording, at the end of the verse

Probably Jeff and Michael playing in different timings)

 

Chorus (if you could call it that)

D¦--0-----|-0--|---------|-0--|--4--------9-|----

 

"Going Down to the subway station...."

(The volume you play certain parts is just as important as the chords themselves)

 

(We return to the chorus but it's a bit souped up)

Then in to the:
