Flood by: Jars of Clay CD: Jars of Clay written by: Jars of Clay Lyrics: Dan Haseltine from: J.B. (Fyretruks@aol.com) or (guitarman.jbd@juno.com) Copyright:Brentwood Music _______________________________________ Jars plays in an open E tuning on most songs. This interpretation is arranged for standard tuning. CHORDS E5th------ x 7 9 9 0 0 D5th------ x 5 7 7 0 0 C5th------ x 3 5 5 0 0 B5th------ x 2 4 4 0 0 These chords have generic names which will be ok for my purposes. This song is played with a capo on the 3rd fret. All the chords and Violin solo are played relative to the capo. Listen to the CD for the ryhthm. INTRO: E5 (2 beats) C5 (2 b.) D5 (2 b.) B5 (2 b.) Play twice. Let all Strings ring. VERSES: E5 (2 b) D5 (2 b) C5 (4 b) Play 4 times while muting the 1st and 2nd strings. "Rain rain on my....." PRE-CHORUS: Play 4 times. Same as VERSES. Let all strings ring. "But if I can't swim...." CHORUS: PLay 4 times. Same as INTRO. Let all strings ring. "....When i'm falling..." GUITAR INTERLUDE between verses: E5th ( 16 beats) VIOLIN SOLO: e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b-------------------------------------------------------------------5---8--7--5------5---7--7--5----5--5--7--8---- g----------------------4----------4--5--7--5--4------------4-------------------7----------------7------------------- d--------------4-5-7----5--7----------------------7---5-------------------------------------------------------------- a---7-6-7--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "calm the storms..." e--------------------5---7-----5---------------------------------------------------------5------------------------------ b---7---5--7--8-------------------8--7------------5--8--7----------------5--8--7------7--------------5--8------ g-------------------------------------------------4--------------7--------4---------------------7---5---4------------- d---------------------------------------------------------------------7--------------------------------------------------- a-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e--7---10------8---7---5---5----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b-----------------------------------8--7---------"If I cantswim...."----------------------------------------------- g-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are more parts to the violin harmony that i haven't figured out. Sounds good anyway.This is MY attempt at this song. It sounds pretty good to me and pretty close to the album too. Enjoy! I hope this doesn't get garbled on your computer. i wrote this with my page filling the screen.It might get goofed if your screen is a small window. J.B. Please note: I transcribed the previous Flood from memory without following the music. When I did, i found that it was in the wrong key. But here's the thing ::: I did some looking and found that JOC uses an open E tuning on most of thier songs FLOOD uses this tuning (low to high)=E-B-E-G#-B-E. And they use a Nashville tuning on this particular song. This is when the 4 bass strings (EADG) are replaced with thinner strings one octave higher. You can find those in any 12 string guitar string package. I know it's a big change from standard tuning. I have not taken the time yet to actually do it BUT I might one day. The chords that are used in the other Flood trancsriptions are correct, it's just a mattter of finding the right fingerings and voicings for open E tuning. I;ve been fiddling with these trying to find which ones will work. IT will tke time i guess. ANYway, the string solo is in the wrong key too, Here it is in the right key Cminor (standard tuning) VIOLIN SOLO: e-------------------------------------------------------------- b-------------------------------------------------------------- g-------------------------------------------------------------- d------------------------5--------5--6--8--6--5---------------- a-------------5--6--8------6--8-------------------8--6--------- e---8--7--8------------------------------------------------------- e-------------------------------------------------------------- b-------------------------------------------------------------- g-----5--8--7--5------5--7--7--5-----5---5--7--8--7--5- d-5-----------------8----------------8------------------------ a----------------------------------------------------------- e-------------------------------------------------------------- e-------------------------------------------------------------- b----------6---8----6--------------------------------------- g--7--8-----------------8---7----------------------------- d----------------------------------------------------------- a----------------------------------------------------------- e-------------------------------------------------------------- "calm the storms..." e----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - b------------------------------------------------6---------------------------- - g-----------5--8--7-----------------5--8--7------7-------------5--8-------- d------5----------------8---------5--------------------8--6--5---------------- a----------------------------8----------------------------------------------- e---------------------------------------------------------------------------- e-------6------------------------------------- b---8--------9---8--6--6--------------------"If Icantswim...." g----------------------------------8---7----- d------------------------------------------- a---------------------------------------------- e---------------------------------------- I hope this clears the mud a little (Cheezer42@aol.com) JB Dean ---------------------------------------- Added by: Jon Shaner (jmshaner@juno.com) ----------------------------------------            Cm    Bb        Gm      Eb     Cm    Gm   e---------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------1-4-3-1---1-3 G--------------0-----0-1---3-1-0----------------3---- D--------0-1-3---1-3-------------3-1--1-------------- A--3-2-3--------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------         Fm     Ab     Gm    Ab7            Bb e-------------------------1-3--------1--------------- B-3-1---1--1-3-4--3-1-3-4---------------4--3--------- G-----3---------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------    Cm     Bb         Ab      Bb       Gm      Cm7 Gm e----------------------------1--------------3-6----6- B-----1-4-3--------------1-4---3--------1-4---------- G--0--------3--------0-1---------3-1--0-------------- D-------------3----3--------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------   (calm the storms....)              (cast down...)             Bb e--4--3--1--1--- B-----------3--- Yes, the chords are weird...the song is in the key of Eb (I think)- our band moved it up to G- to do this add 4 to each fret number and change the chords like so: Original- Eb  Ab  Ab7  Bb  Cm  Gm  Fm  Cm7  In G-     G   C   C7   D   Em  Bm  Am  Em7 I hope you find this useful (and correct)- e-mail me at jmshaner@juno.com with comments, complaints, questions, etc.           -Jon <><
