Sky Blue Sky Acoustic Chords Guitar Tab

Sky Blue Sky Tabs:

Cappo 5th Fret
I didn't add the rythm or the open parts of the chords on the intro, so you will have to figure that out.
Use the chords I have added, not the ones the site defaults.
If you have any questions e-mail me at willmyster22@yahoo.com

	I think its about hope. Its about hope for better times on days when life seems so meaningless and hopeless . tweedy says "with the sky blue sky, this rotten time wouldn't seem so bad to me now". he believes that if only the sky was blue he would be happier. that don't solve the problems the person might have but it gaves him a little bit of hope.

	I believe the first line of the final stanza should read, "With the sky blue sky, this rotten time wouldn't seem so bad to me now."

No Picture JJ Average	#3 by JJ at Oct 7, 2007 at 8:52 AM EST
	yeah, it's definatelt a grower, the new album. it's just started to hit me and i'm really coming around to it, especially "hate it here," "impossible germany," and "on and on and on" and "walken" and "leave me like you found me" - oh theyre all so good!!!

No Picture [ßĩη& Average	#4 by [ßĩηŁ@Ðэń] at Oct 10, 2007 at 1:29 AM EST
	A few corrections (I could be wrong) "Windows open and raining in MAROON, yellow, blue, gold and grey." "With the sky blue sky this rotten time wouldn't seem so bad to me now" I heard Jeff Tweedy perform this back when it was called Lullaby for Rafters and Dreams at one of his solo shows in Southern Illinois and it took my breath away. After the show I mentioned to my friend that the lyric 'sky blue sky' really made me smile and was amazingly descriptive for its redundancy. The song, to me, is just the concept of hope and how even on the saddest of days if you look outside and see nature smiling bright and sundrenched, you are at your core made at least slightly happy.

No Picture James Wanna Be	#5 by James Makowiecki at Oct 13, 2007 at 3:10 AM EST
	Just wanted to say thanks for helping me figure out where I've heard this song before. Lullaby for Rafters and Dreams. I like the new album and I'm hoping it grows on me like Ghost did.

	I love this song, but this whole album is beautiful. I just want to say that amidst comments of "I am disappointed, or this rocks" I have to say that I am just thrilled to be living on this planet at the same time as Jeff Tweedy. If there's a heaven I will be listening to Wilco 24/7! That's all.

No Picture Kevin Average	#8 by Kevin turbyfill at Oct 17, 2007 at 9:42 AM EST
	i'm a bit disappointed by the new album, but this is may favorite song on it

No Picture kewl Wanna Be	#9 by kewl dude at Oct 21, 2007 at 8:40 AM EST
	i think this song is definitely about belleville, IL, which is where jeff tweedy came up. it describes it so perfectly- the school colors, the shitty downtown, the complete lack of anything to do. and while he talks about how much he hates the town, in the music i get the sense that he may now sometimes miss the time he spent there, which is how i think a lot of people feel about belleville after they finally get away.
