Definitely better live. Wilco played this song two weeks ago in Helsinki, and I hadn't heard this before, but it felt like I'd been waiting my whole life to hear these notes. It was a simple moment of perfection. Cline played heart-wrenching solos. Glorious.

Glorious...

YEAH, but it's only 3 chords, just like Woody would've done
I don't know about the Keys, and i love Nels-far and away the best guitarist Wilco has had-but his soloing on this doesn't compare to Bennett's.

1,5,4,1...yeah that makes sense. nope

Oh my god. why are you, haunter112, so worried about chord progressions and technicalities? This is a wonderful, simple interpretation of some brilliant words. Why complicate things? It's highly debatable whether there is a Guthrie melody but i really don't think he'd be tearing it apart and analyzing it. Folk music, which is what this is, is all about re-interpretation. I'm sure Tweedy and Bragg had Guthrie's best interests at heart when they re-worked all those words. No need for cynicism!

actually im not even sure the origional melody by woody is even recorded.i think it got lost just like his thousands of other lyrics that his daughter Nora owns. She gave Tweedy and Billy Bragg several lyrics for them to put to songs on a compilation. Although we'd like to think Woody had a melody, there is no proof. Not giving or taking away from anyone of course, Guthrie is a legend.
