Song: "Wiser Time" Artist: The Black Crowes Album: _Amorica_
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# -
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#.

Verse
No more time left for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain
Windswpt stars blink and smile
Another song, another mile
You read the line every time
Ask me about crime in my mind
Ask me why another road song
Funny but I bet you never left home
Chorus -: -: On a good day, it's not every day D-:B C-:A B-:G We can part the sea G-:A A-:B And on a bad day, it's not every day D-:B C-:A B-:G glory behind our reach
Verse 14 seconds until sunrise Tired but wiser for the time Lightning 30 miles away Three thousand more in two days
