wolves, lower an early master piece by Peter Buck
I'm a guitar player so I don't have to words, but I beleive that they are
to be found elsewhere in OLGA

main riff, part the first

el--0-0----0-0---0-0----0-0--------0-0---0-0---0-----0-----0-----0--l

al------------------------------------------------------------------l
el------------------------------------------------------------------l

part the second

el-5-4-2-0-l D9 (Dsus2)  el-5-4-2-0-l A  repeat
after second A I play either an Asus2 or this little part (a variation of
Ages of You for those who notice)

el--0---0---------l
bl2---0-----2-0---l
gl--------2-------l

part the third

the chorus is simply  A  Dsus2  G   C

the chorus outro is a little tougher, it resembles an Am chord

el--0-----0--------l
bl0---0-1---1---0--l  repeat three times
gl------------2----l
dl-----------------l
al-----------------l
el-----------------l


part the fourth, the bridge

the different recordings have yielded different things to my ears, here's
two of them

This song sound awkward till you get the hang of it, but give it a shot
If you can correct any of my errors, please do and write in. Peace.

WOLVES, LOWER
{the intro riff is easier played than typed.  Just hold the
strings and slide your fingers from 3 to 5.  Listen to the record
and it will all be so much easier.  Here is some idea...}

riff:   (E)----3-----5--- repeat with   --0---0---0---0---0---0--
     (B)--5---5-s7--7- slides etc... 5---5---4---4---2---2---4

riff           riff           riff                riff
Suspicion yourself suspicion yourself don't get caught
riff           riff           riff                riff
Suspicion yourself suspicion yourself let us out
riff           riff           riff                riff
Wilder lower wolves here's a house to put wolves out the door

{change riff (ch):   (E)--5--4--2--0--}

{be as sloppy as you like on the D and A.. that gives it the
minorish feel that not having the right chords tends to lose.  Or
figure out the right variations of D and A (or whatever they are)
and mail me.}

(ch) D  (ch)  A  (ch)  D  (ch)   A  (B):slides--2--4--5--4--2--0-
In a corner garden wilder lower wolves

{i don't know the names of these pseudo chords, but they sound
nice... the A is an A barred at the 5th, the G? is a G barre
without the bar finger.. it is only hit for a millisecond while
going from A to Asus? which is an A with an open B string.  The
next G is an open G, then the G/C is played by moving the two
bass string fingers both one string higher (in pitch)  I have no
idea if it's right.  And pick it all, hitting the high strings.}

     G?        Asus?      G/C
(E)--0--       --0--     --3--
(B)--0--       --0--     --0--
(G)--4--       --2--     --0--
(D)--5--       --2--     --2--
(A)--5--       --0--     --3--
(E)--X--       --X--     --X--

A       G? Asus?   G     G/C
House in order
G
Down and around beam the party to rise

{The song repeats itself}

{crazy instrumental break...  jeez, I don't know .. take a solo.
Try this if you have no imagination:
(E)--12--12--12--10--9--7--7
(B)--12--12--12--10--9--7--7  etc.. ad infinitum
(G)--12--12--12--12--9--9--9                                }

{repeat the song again and end on a kinda gloomy chord that seems
to be all open strings except (A)--2--}

WOLVES, LOWER
{If you're like me, you'll be able to do little more than bungle through
 this one at first}

{here's the riff ---repeat as necessary}
(E) ---0-------0------0-------0--------0-----0---0---0--------------
(B)--8---8--10--10--8---8--10---10---8----10----0---0---0---0-----0-
(G)--9------11------9------11--------9----11---9---8---6---8---8----
(D)------------------------------------------------------7---9------

                                                            3 notes, then...}
> Wilder lower wolves here's a house to put wolves out the door

riff2: (E) ---------0-  playing this note on open E facilitates hitting the
       (B) --10-9-8-    D chord on time
{Play "A"  and "D" like this:

"D"  chord:             "A" chord:
(E) --0--                --0--
(E) --0--                --0--
(G) --7--                --7--
(D) --7--                --6--
(A) --0--                --0--

riff2   "D"     riff2  "A"   riff2 "D"     riff2 "A"   (E) --0---0---0---
                                                       (B) -5--4--3----2-

{Do da break like this:}
(E) -12-12-10-9--7-7-9--7
(B) -12-12-10-10-8-8-10-8
(G) -12--{an occasional open G string and/or D thrown in doesn't hurt}
