Subject: CRD: Screaming Trees-NO ONE KNOWS
Due to the scarcity of Screaming Trees songs out there, I decided
that my first contribution to the archive should be just that.
For NO ONE KNOWS, there are only 3 chords throughout the song,
played over various fills and drums and bass in the back, but I
always liked playing this one with just an acoustic (and a harp
if you've got it!). Anyway, I've presented two ways to play the
F and G chords, but I prefer the first example of both because it
allows you to play the song with minimal finger movement. These
are probably the less popular versions of the chord (although not
more difficult), so if you're not used to them, give it a shot.
It's really smooth that way. I also included that little
intro that they put before the chorus and each verse.
This one's from memory with out a guitar present, so if I screwed
up, please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks in advance.
Gotta love these guy's music. Stay tuned for more...

Screaming Trees: No One Knows
Verse I
Don't turn away, you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay, remember what you said
10,000 miles and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been, where every woman's wasted
Chorus
All the while you were sleeping,
Drifting where the wind never goes
Tomorrow you'll wake up achin'
Wonderin' how when no one really knows
Verse II
Don't speak the word of all that you've been savin'
If there is a time, then you should let it go
Into the fire and bring back all you've taken
Once more alone you'll never let it show
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Now what've I done wrong
Why don't you tell me what've I done wrong
Babe tell me what've I done wrong
Why don't you tell me, tell me, tell me
Repeat Verse I
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Bridge

| Actually it doesn't mean that at all. Please don't think I'm retarded. I was having one of the worst days of my life. | |

| It's about being being forced to be alone because of an addiction. You eventually become so isolated that you can't have anything and no one else truly knows what it's like. Trying to have a relationship with someone else or with anything is always ruined, but there's still a person alive inside suffering. Alone. That part that still wants all those good things, but knows they can never have them. | |

| I feel this song is about a girl giving everything to a guy except what he wants the most. "Don't hesitate, it's my fate" ... as if he is still left clinging for what may finally bring peace, he's pleading-don't give up on me. | |

| 1st of all Screaming Trees Frickin RULE! Anyone who likes good music should give Dust a listen to! I think this song is about lost love. You know, the singer feels he has failed to be with someone that he could of been with but he tottally messed up somewhere. Brilliant song! | |

| oh man, this is summer dispair. Drenched with 60's carefree acid and happiness despite the cynical lyrics. Running away indeed, it's what the generation is about which kinda makes me question the intentions in the first place. Metaphors suggest strong violence and a strong tendancy towards the violence nay more like an appetite for the pain! Biting on the thorn...lines that make me questy, especially considering the actual instrumental content being so uplifting. The 2nd layer is masochistic, persuaded by a kiss i already know is full of deceit, but i love it anyway. A guilty pleasure of a message, but PURE gem of a song. Lanegan Lives! | |
