Frot ( тексты песен и аккорды на ficd.ru ): Winston Campbell
Subject: HOUSE IN THE WOODS by Mr. Tom Petty
House In The Woods
by Tom Petty
This is the complete and official transcription of this song (Texts of songs ) by Tom Petty
done by me. It is the thirteenth song (Texts of songs ) off of -Wildflowers-. This was
probably one of the first songs I grew to love on the album. It took me a
while to figure out this song (Texts of songs ) but after figuring it out, it is interesting
to look at the chord changes which speaks of Tom Petty and his simple yet
grandiose songwriting approach. I have done the bass tab for it because
the bass line walks during the second half of the verse. The basic bassline
(with the chords on top) is:
(BASSLINE 1)
F C Eb Bb Dm Am C G
G ------------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
D -3----------|-1----------|-0----------|------------|------------|
A -------3----|-------1----|-------0----|-3----------|------------|
E ------------|------------|------------|-------3----|-3-----3----|
(BASSLINE 2)
F C Eb Bb Dm Am C G
G ------------|---0-2------|---0-3------|------------|------------|
D ------------|-3-------0-2|-1-------0-3|-0-2-3------|---2-0------|
A ------------|-------3----|-------1----|-------0-2-3|-3----------|
E -3-----3----|------------|------------|------------|-------3----|
G ------------|------------|
D ------------|------------|
A ------------|------------|
E -3-----3----|-3-----3----|
The single guitar note that is played is just this:
E -1-----0----|------------|------------|------------|
B ------------|-4-----3----|-3----------|-1----------|
G ------------|------------|-------2----|-------0----| (all notes are
D ------------|------------|------------|------------| vibrato, of course)
A ------------|------------|------------|------------|
E ------------|------------|------------|------------|
Those are the single guitar and basslines for the verse. The song (Texts of songs ) begins
with bassline number 1 and plays it two times. Then when Petty starts
singing, bassline number 1 is played once then bassline number 2 is
played. Then the chorus follows which is:
C G C G C G Em A C G
G ------------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
D ------------|------------|------------|------------|------------|
A -3---2-----2|-3---2-----2|-3---2------|-------0-2-4|-3---2-----2|
E -------3----|-------3----|-------3---2|-0-2-3------|-------3----|
C G C G Em A D
G ------------|------------|------------|------------|
D ------------|------------|------------|-0----------|
A -3---2-----2|-3---2------|-------0-2-4|------------|
E ------3-----|-------3---2|-0-2-3------|------------|
After that part, the song (Texts of songs ) goes back to another verse and another chorus.
After the second chorus, the guitar and bass plays the riff on the
A and D strings like (I will call this Riff X):
E ----------------------------|
B ----------------------------|
G ----------------------------| (As you may notice, I have no measure lines
D -0------------------------2-| so just play it like how you hear it)
A -----0-2-3---0-2-3--0-2-3---|
E ----------------------------|
Play this part repeatedly (I think four times then the song (Texts of songs ) goes into a
slight verse instrumental and back to the chorus and then back into the
verse. These are basically the tabs for the song (Texts of songs ). The lyrics are:
F C Eb Bb
I~m going down to the house in the woods
Dm Am C G
See my little darling
F C Eb Bb
I~m going down, out in the fields
Dm Am C G
With summertime coming
C G C G
Oh my love, what can I do
C G Em A
What can I do but love you?
C G C G
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
C G Em A
What can I do but love you
D
Babe
F C Eb Bb
Summertime falls on the house in the woods
Dm Am C G
Back by the power lines
F C Eb Bb
I ain~t got a neighbor for nine or ten miles
Dm Am C G
Back in the tall pines
C G C G
And hey, now baby, what can I do?
C G Em A
What am I goin~ to do but trust you?
C G C G
The rest of my nights, the rest of my days
C G Em A
What can I do but love you?
D (Riff X)
Babe
(Instrumental Verse)
C G C G
Hey now baby, what can I do?
C G Em A
What am I going to do but love you
C G C G
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
C G Em A
What could I do but love you?
D
Babe
(I think the song (Texts of songs ) goes back to Riff X then continues on ad infinitum
into the ever famous verse chords)
