For Sparky and Purple Haze

[Ambrosious]

Do either of you have or know where to get the chords for Jim Stafford's The Wildwood Weed. All I'm finding is the lyrics. If you can help me out I would be grateful.

Amb - I'd.....

probably be running the same types of searchs you are - and you are probably more versed at that stuff than I.

Jim Stafford's probably not popular enough for most folks to even know. I find that most of these tab sites are classic rock, popular country or modern rock.

I have found some Spanish tabs and even some Hawaian tabs. But I don't think I saved them in my favorites file.

If you might have a line on any coold tab sites that are not popular, current shit - I'd love to have them.

Lately I'm interested in the early 60's NYC, Village coffee house, hootenanny, beat scene - Guthery, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, early Bob Dylan. Simple accoustic stuff with heavy lyrics.

Let me know.

 

[Ambrosious]

I found some cool ones. When I get home I'll e-mail you what I got so far.

And if ANYONE finds the chords to Wildwood Weed, let me know please. I wonder if it is a cover of the old country classic Wildwood Flower?

Don't hesitate to IM me either--aol im is djdude01. with a zero-one.

 

[Purple Haze]

"Sittin' there on that sack of seeds,"

I did some searching, Ambrosious, and they all came up goose-eggs. That song is familiar with me but completely unknown to the cyberworld. I've got a couple other places I can look. I'll get back to you if I find it.

If I had a recording, I could pick it out by ear and give you the chords. Maybe?

 

[Ambrosious]

I've got the recording and I could e-mail it to you or you can find it on several sites...like napster? I appreciate the help guys!

Those are the sites I use, gentlemen.

I have found sites that will apparently sell it but nothing for free.

 

[Ambrosious]

Link me and I'll use 'em as a last resort. Thank 'toad.

So close. Wildwood Weed-by Jim Stafford.

So close. Wildwood Weed-by Jim Stafford.

A lot of Jim Stafford's songs were parodies or humorous. Check to see if the melody to wildwood flower fits his words.

 

[Purple Haze]

I picked it off of the web by ear,

It sounds like it could be a form of some old Carter Family type ballad, but the chords don't match up with "Wildwood Flower."

The first parts of the verses goes from C to Am to G

The second parts go from C to F back to C

Rinse and repeat, Ambrosious. Good Tune.
