Lon Gisland
My Family’s Role in the World Revolution
Capo at the first fret Gm – Eb – F
Scenic World (Second Version) (PDF)
The same chords as the version on Gulag Orkestar.
The Lon Gisland Sound
Capo at the first fret Am – D7 – G – C – Cmaj7. Just the same as Elephant Gun.
Gmaj7 and A all the way through.
Misc
The White Whale
One of the tracks recorded under the name Real People. The chords are Ebm – Abm – Bb. But it makes more sense to play Dm – Gm – Bb with the capo on the first fret.
The Interior of a Dutch House
From a split single with Calexico. The first half starts off with a uke. It disappears halfway through, but the chords are the same: E – Bm – F#m – E
My Night With the Prostitute From Marseille
From Big Change: Songs for Finca. The chords are G – A – Bm – D. I prefer to slide the G shape up two frets for the A chord, but you can use the normal A chord if you prefer.
Cover of a song by Ary Barroso and a live favourite. Also done by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The chords are simple enough, and there’s no way you can’t include this little riff:
Siki Siki Baba
Another regular live cover. I took the chords from this version with the Kocani Orkestar (the second half of the video). For the most part it’s G5. You can spice it up a little by adding in the bass line to the chord.
In the instrumental parts, there are C then D chords leading into the G5.
The LAAA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA section is Em, Bm, C, D, G.
You can find Gulag Orkestar and Flying Club Cup tabs and chords on this page, but that’s your lot.
The deed is done!
Much love :pounds chest:
