Black Crowes - Wiser Time guitar tab

Song: "Wiser Time"

Artist: The Black Crowes

Album: _Amorica_

Tab by: Steven J. Heil (sjheil@ibm.net)

Well, here's my shot at this great tune. I play it tuned down

1/2 step (mostly because that's how my guitar's usually tuned),

but since it's all barres, you could play it in regular tuning.

(It would be easier in open E tuning, and I'd be willing to bet

that the Crowes play it that way to get the slides down right)

======================================================================

Progression #1: B - A# - G#

Progression #2: G# - A# - A#, A# - C - C, D# - C - C# - A# - C - G#

- G#

NOTE: Don't play the A# and B chords as E-barres - they

don't

==== sound right. Play all of these as A-barres, except the

G#.
