Sounds best "unplugged". I heard a GREAT version which was without drums and bass. Only vocals, resonator slide guitar (try a National Duolian!) for solo fills and background accordion were playing. My thanks to Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers for this one!

Transcription by Dave Poch (I am not responsible for any of the following, use at your discretion!) I play it in a different key than the recorded version: (E as opposed to F?) There's four chords throughout: E - B - F#min - A (Open E, B at 7th, ect) (You can add open high E & B as drone notes). The original, if you like would be F, C, Gmin and B flat, just capo at the first fret and finger the chords as shown. Play a full barre on the F#min if easier.

However the lyrics I had to figure out on my own, so don't scream if they're a little off, (Jakob can slurr like only a Dylan can [I mean that in a good way]). Try it with the Gm7 before the Bb and let me know what you think (bag@cjnetworks.com) I play it w/capo@3 like D(F) A(C) Em7(Gm7) G(Bb) its easy and sounds cool. I saw these guys in Lawrence KS recently..VERY COOL...like seeing a young pre-disillusioned(new word) Bob! THE WALLFLOWERS 6th Avenue heartache chords by Sam Stewart updated: Barry A.

I sure as hell can't when I'm singing it! I dont know how correct it is. The chords sound right though Ive only got the first verse lyrics, but they're pretty simple. Appreciate any corrections or suggestions.... 6th Avenue Heartache - The Wallflowers from the album Bringing down the horse *Verse 1 F C Sirens ring, Shots ring out Gm Bb A stranger cries, screams out loud I had my world strapped against my back I held my hands, never knew how to act *Chorus F Well, The same black line that was drawn on you C Gm Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in, Bb 6th avenue heartache...
