"Weighed Down" by Jars of Clay from the MUCH AFRAID album (1997)
Words and music by Dan Haseltine, Matt Odmark, Steve Mason, and
Charlie Lowell
There are several ways to play this song. On the album the guys use 2
guitars, but I tabbed only one guitar with perhaps more full voicings
than the chords actually used so that it will sound more full with
only one guitar. For example, the F#7/11 can be played by moving the
E chord up two frets and playing the B and E strings open, but you don't
get the full sound of the 6th string if you do...
The chord forms listed below are even more general but they sound pretty
good. Experiment with other partial chords to find your own favorite
forms.
