On And On And On Tab

by Wilco


Found some rough tabulature on this song and decided to work it out as it’s not been
anywhere except the viachicago forum.  This should be pretty close?

Piano intro:

e  ——0         -——0

B  —8—    x8   —8—    x8

G —11—         —11—

D —10—         —9—

If you’re a finger-picker you can alternate thumb, index, middle then ring (on the e) or
with the thumb.  (I think the brushing sounds better).  If you are a piano player, it's
F# G then E and B F# G then E.  (This riff may change but I generally don't carry it 
the beginning so... it's all yours to figure out).

Chords:

	x3200x    x35500    8x998x

	x2400x    x2403x    x2003x   x2423x    799777

	x0201x    575555

	32000x    x2000x    355433

	xx0232    x5403x

I switch between these different voicings a lot so I figured I'd share them all  Do what
think sounds best.  I also play with a capo on 3, but that just fits my voice better,
are for original album tuning.  Either way, great song.  Hope someone finds this useful.

				     
On and on and on we'll stay together yeah
				     
On and on and on we'll be together yeah
				     
You and I will try to stay together yeah
				     
On and on and on we'll be together yeah

			
Please don't cry we're designed to die
   	     
Don't deny what's inside
				       
On and on and on we'll stay together yeah

On and on and on

On and on and on

				       
One day we'll disappear together in a dream
				     
However short or long our lives are going to be
			  	       
I will live in you or you will live in me
				     
Until we disappear together in a dream

				
Please don't cry we're designed to die
				
You can't deny even the gentlest tide
				       
On and on and on we'll be together yeah

On and on and on

On and on and on
	       
We're going to try

[Not sure about this instrumental, but I think it's mainly CM7, D and Am7 (if you're
this acoustically, it doesn't much matter)]


Please don't cry
					    
This world of words and meanings makes you feel
outside
Something that you feel already

deep inside
You've denied

Go ahead and cry

				     
On and on and on we'll stay together yeah

On and on and on
On and on and on

			     
You and I will stay together yeah
				     
You and I will try to make it better yeah

Enjoy.  Post corrections or additions.
