4% Pantomime

One of my all-time favorite songs from the Band's fourth studio album, Cahoots; a testament to the power of Richard Manuel and the awesomeness of Van the Man.

i translate in italian...but what the sense???

They spoke about poker?drunk?or showbusiness?

Anyway a masterpiece!!!!

Essi stanno cantando sul poker, e essi stanno ubriaco.

[LogiBizzle]

"The management said they were sorry..." Em/G/C/Bm

"And Mr. Booking Agent...." Em/G/C/D

"We went up to Griffiths Park..." G/G7/C/D

"Oh Richard..." Em/G/C/Bm (Chord changes double the speed of the verse)

"Tell me, whose got the joker..." Em/G

"Dueces are wild..." Am/Em/G/C/G/C

"Pay the tips..." Am/Em/G/C/G/C/G/C/D

Rinse and repeat for the rest of the song.

Enjoy.

In This Wheel's On Fire, the story was that Van and Richard were throwing this around after a drinking session and 4% was the difference in alcohol level between Johnnie Walker Red and Black.

Vanの歌が、ﾘｽﾞﾑを作り変えてしまう一瞬が未だにｽﾘﾘﾝ­ｸﾞ。

評価の別れたTheBand４作目"ｶﾌｰﾂ"だったが私にとっ­ては"ｽﾃｰｼﾞﾌﾗｲﾄ"とともに双璧だった、哀愁歌"4%ﾊ­ﾟﾝﾄﾏｲﾑ"

i'd say all 3. they're in L.A. doing shows or some business and go up into griffith park, get drunk, and maybe they play cards or maybe just use it as a metaphor. it's lose and meant to be i'd say. like a rmr blues.

[Peter Gerstenzang]

You're cool to do that. Thanks

[Peter Gerstenzang]

The title is based partly on the difference between Johnny Red and Johnny Black. Johnny Red, I think, has 4% more alcohol

[Anthony Christopher]

Thank you! Thats a great tab

I have the intro lick down but I cant find the chords anywhere online. I can usually always figure them out myself it either starts on a E or F#m. Anyone know please reply to this I would love to know the chord prog.
