Song:           "Wiser Time"
Artist:         The Black Crowes
Album:          _Amorica_
Tab by:         Steven J. Heil (sjheil@ibm.net)


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#
- 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#.

intro,
