      1. I have when you come back down tab
        Clay

        If you want this tab you need to get the Randytab program to view it and hear the midi (I know, midi sucks). If you want it just drop me a line and ill send it out.

      1. Try this for Reasons Why, close but not perfect
        RT

        Chrif

        Try a capo on fret 1, he is doing a hendrix/bluesy kinda thing. This isnt quite right but kinda close.

        The first chord is an Eminor hammering off and on the G on the high e string. You can add the b string too but it is harder to do.

        Then go to a G but play note on string above the high e a and leave the high e open

        Then go to a D hammering off the note on the high e string, you can add the weird bass note by holding down the the note on the low E string with your thumb that is a G note with the capo on.
        Then go to an A leave off the botto note of the chord and hammer like you did in the first chord,
        Good luck, I just got the CD on 2/14 so I am working on it. Let me know if you figure it out.
        I love this CD.

        RT

        that is : : if anyone has any tabs or chords or charts for "reasons why" i would love it

    John Lawless

    John: Could you tell me why I might have been removed from the acutab list? I no longer get the list, and I tried to send a message and was told via a message that I illegally posted a message? Thanks for any info Louis Wiley. [email protected]

    1. Re: Nickel Creek
      Nate

      : Can you get me the chord chart and tab for When You Come Back Down by Nickel Creek?

      It’s not all too tough to figure it out. On the guitar it’s capoed on the 2nd fret and they’re variations on an A7, C# major, & B in the verses, and then in the refrain its A, E, B, C# major, & B.

      5. I really need chords for 'The Hand Song'!
        sunshine

        If anyone knows all the chords for Nickel Creek’s "The Hand Song," I REALLY need it! Please e-mail it to me if you know! There’s only one chord I can’t figure out!
        Thank you!!!

        1. I've got your chords
          Tom

          its goes somewhat like this, i dont have the music with me, but i can remember it.

          capo 4

          Intro/Chorus:

          D G Bm A Repeat

          Verse:

          F#m G D A

          then where is a tricky part where you go from E to F#m to Bm to Bm/A (you take for finger off the bar and put it only on the high E sting) then you go right to E to F#m to Bm to A

          sorry i dont have the words but thats it, the chorus repeats and so does the verse.

          TOM

          1. Re: I've got your chords
            Jim

            The post from Tom was close. Except the F#m is not a minor, it is just F#.

            : capo 4

            :
            : Intro/Chorus:

            : D G Bm A Repeat

            : Verse:

            : F# G D A

            : then where is a tricky part where you go from E to F# to Bm to Bm/A (you take for finger off the bar and put it only on the high E sting) then you go right to E to F# to Bm to A

        :Iwant tabs for the song resons why by nickel creek as soon as you can cause i cant figure it out and its geting to me thanx

        1. Reasons Why (tablature)
          Brad Kik

          THIS IS NOT COMPLETE, but should get you started…

          F min =X 8 10 10 9 8
          D# =X 6 8 8 8 6
          C# =X 4 6 6 6 4
          A# =6 6 8 8 6 6

          Intro : Fmin, D#, C#, D#; Fmin, D#, A#, C#/D#
          First verse repeat
          End of verse add Fmin, D# then
          Second verso repeat

          This is really bare bones, I know.. and I haven’t figured out the chorus yet, and only started to get the solo down. Of course, it would also be easier to capo on 1 and play Em, D, C, and A, but it’s not the same sound. Hope this helps. Email me at [email protected] with any questions.

          1. Re: Reasons Why (tablature)
            Shane

            They play this song with a capo on the first fret. Playing… Em, D, C, D…and then Em,D,A,C,D
            The chorus is….
            D C G
            Climb high to the highest rung…..etc…
            A7 D Em G C D
            Others have excuses, I have my reasons why.

            🙂

        Verse 1:
        G Bm
        You got to leave me now, you got to go alone,
        G Bm
        You got to chase a dream, one that’s all your own
        A G
        Before it slips away.
        G Bm
        When you’re flyin’ high, take my heart along,
        G Bm
        I’ll be the harmony to every lonely song
        A G
        That you learn to play.

        Chorus 1:
        G D G D
        When you’re soarin’ through the air, I’ll be your solid ground
        G D A Bm
        Take every chance you dare, I’ll still be there
        A G
        When you come back down,
        D
        When you come back down.

        Verse 2:
        I’ll keep lookin’ up, awaitin’ your return,
        My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn, And I won’t feel your fire.
        I’ll be the other hand that always holds the line
        Connectin’ in between your sweet heart and mine,
        I’m strung out on that wire.

        Chorus 2:
        And I’ll be on the other end, To hear you when you call
        Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high
        I’ll catch you when you fall
        I’ll catch you when you fall

        Bridge:
        Bm
        Your memory’s the sunshine every new day brings,

    Devon

    I live in Roanoke VA, and I heard about you guys. I know that you do bluegrass tabliture and all, but would you ever consider doing some alternative rock. Something like Dave Matthews?

    Thanks for your time,
