This is Version 1.0 of the Down By The Old Mainsteam Songbook. Many thanks to all those people who took time to work out these songs. Its not perfect, certainly the songs I transcribed aren't. But we have the right key, and the right basic chords, we may lack a bit of detail here and there but hey this is Golden Smog, its about having a bit of fun with simple arrangements which you can pick up quickly. If you can provide more detail, and/or corrections let me know I'll be happy to put them up.
Golden Smog - V
I've got two versions of this... basically the same chords. The first is my own attempt, the second is another version I've found. The interpretation of the lyrics is a bit different. Not sure which is correct, as I'm English I find the American accents a little difficult. But I've listened again and I still think my lyrics are quite close... anyway make up your own mind

When I was down she was full of advice,
G

cause she'd been there once or twice,

with a ring on the side of her nose,

wearing other people's clothes.

She'd had her highs and she'd had her lows,

but in between she show-oh-ed,
F

when she smiled everything else died,
F

the feeling of good vibes
Chorus

As if in a dream,

As if in a dream,
G C
The one and only V.
Verse 3
She had her shots at breaking hearts,
She used to wait on us down at the bar,
Never took as much as she gave,
still giving to this day.
Staying up half the night
Mood swings, yeah we cried.
On a cold December day,
Vera went away.
Repeat Chorus

Staying up half the night

She had her [Am]eyes and she had her [Dm]nose
But in be[G]tween she [C]showed
When she [F]smiled everything else [C]died
[F]V let off a good [G]vibe [G]
CHORUS: [ Dm | Am | F | F | G | G ]
As if in a [F]dream
My [G]one and only [Am]V [Am/G]
As if in a [F]dream
My [G]one and only [C]V [C]
VERSE TWO: Body shots and the breaking of hearts

VERSE TWO: Get by with preservations
Regrets and salutations

It's you I think of only
Whenever I get lonely
We got more than years to keep away
I've been dyin' just to start livin'
I'm just livin' to be dyin'
We can't seem to find no common ground
You hate me when I'm lonely
I'm lonely when you hate me
Mostly I'm just there to kick around

It's the [G]kind of thing I like

And all my friends they jumped the wagon
Parked today, tails a-waggin'
And I can't seem to get it right
But I wanna get off right now
I can't seem to get it right
But it's all so wrong, somehow

She Don't Have To See You Golden Smog
Chords transcribed by Warren Owen( wozza@altcountry.freeserve.co.uk ) Lyrics transcribed by Gunnar Hedlund From the Alt-Country Tab Page at www.altcountry.freeserve.co.uk
This is a simple song which proved tough to work out. Its a two guitar problem.. The lead guitar plays a large part of the song, while the simple rhythm guitar pattern is obscured. Anyway the G Em G changes are short on the Em, heavy on the G. But really this a rough sketch which I hope someone will improve upon. As always let me know.
You always [G]thought[Em G] In a town[Em] this [C]size [G Am] That you al[G]ways [Em G] Have a place[Em] to [C]hide [G Am] But you [G]can't [Em G] Can't treat [Em]your [C]woman right [G Am] If you got [G]another [Em G] One on [Em]the[C] side [G Am] [Am]She don't have to[Bm] see you [C]She don't have to[D] see you To see[G] through you [C G]
You used to brag To all your friends Telling'em all about Your other love But you never thought, You never thought she'd been giving away That very thing That you've been getting plenty off [Am]She don't have to[Bm] see you [C]She don't have to[D] see you To see[G] through you [C G G7 Dm] [C]She can tell by the look in your eye That [Bm]you've been telling her lies [C]She don't have to see you to [D]see through you How many times You come home late at night You remember all the times Got caught sneaking in And your woman She never said a word But she knew exactly Where you've been [Am]She don't have to[Bm] see you [C]She don't have to[D] see you To see[G] through you [C G]"Red-Headed Stepchild"
I've got two versions of this, the first is an improved version of my sad effort. The second is my attempt. Slight difference in the lyrics, probably down to my inability to resolve the American accents.

Williamton Angel by Golden Smog
This is a simple song,
I think the verse is basically F but played as a little piano riff,
on guitar I find a gentle F Bb F is nice way to simulate it.
You may want to ignore the trailing Bb F in the chorus though
[F]Williamton [Bb]angel smi[F]les
[F]Carries them [Bb]through the mi[F]les
[F]Throw all [Bb]his on gi[F]rls

Well, here is a great little tune off of "Down by the Old Mainstream",
probably one of the best records released that year. The whole song
pretty much consists of a few different little riffs, and then a few
chords for the chorus. Have fun with it and improvise if you want.
