Sauget Wind Chords
by Uncle Tupelo
Sauget Wind by Uncle Tupelo is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of D with a capo on the 2st fret. It uses the chords D, Dsus4, G, Bm, A and Asus4. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
first off, here is the chord fingering
(which is fret 0 in this tab)
D Dsus4 G Bm A Asus4
e 3----4-------3----2-----0----0------------------------
B 2----2-------3----3-----2----3------------------------
G 3----3-------0----4-----2----2------------------------
D 0----0-------0----4-----2----2------------------------
A 0----0-------2----2-----0----0------------------------
E x----x-------3----2-----0----0------------------------
This can be played without a capo. It'll just be in a key
different than what Jay sings it. If you are using a capo,
shape chords as though the capo is the nut.
The Dsus4 and Asus4 chords are reached by hammering your little
finger to the 3rd fret on the 1st string from D to Dsus4 and
your ring finger to the 3rd fret on the 2nd string from A to
Asus4
Someone please double-check me on the lyrics, especially the
"weatherman..." line.
