 Off the Record - My Morning Jacket

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

 
 Tuning:Standard (Capo at 9th fret)
 
 I saw that there already was a tab of this song and it's good but it´s not quite right.
 I'm pretty sure MMJ plays this song with a Capo at the 9th fret.
 It sounds more like the record AND it´s easier to play :)
 
 Over all the choruses, play this little riff:
 
 E A B 
    

 e|---0----------0-0-4-7--5---------------------4--2--0-----------------------|
 B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 

 
 Listen to the song for timing

 E|-0-0-0-3-----------------------------0-0-0-3-----------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
 

 
 The rythm is the same as the intro in the first half of the song, but after that,
 the jam starts, but i will get to that later.
 
 Verse 1
 
 E                                      
 Sorry bout the things that I had to say
          A                          B                    
 and I'll make it up to you right now at the penny arcade.
 E                                 
 In an open car or wherever you are
      A                 B                   
 push yourself too far and it might get hot.
 
 Pre-chorus
 
 A                                    B 
 Well I really don't need the confusion
         A                        B 
 and you know I just ain't the type
        A                          B                A                       B   
 to get all wrapped up in the illusion of doin something that I know ain't right
 
 right right. Right, right???
 
 Chorus
 
 E                                            A              
 You've got to want to re-arrange and keep it off the record.
 B              
 Off the record.
 E                                                  A              
 You've got to know that we will change and keep it off the record.
 B              
 Off The Record.
 
 After the chorus, you play this:

 e|-4-00000--4-00000---5--4-2-0--2--------------------------------------------|
 B|----------------------------------0-0-0-0-2-5------------------------------|
 G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 e|-4-00000--4-00000---5--4-2-0--2--7-----------------------------------------|
 B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 

 
 The timing is a little tricky on that riff so listen to the song to hear it.
 
 Verse 2
 
 E                                      
 In a crowded room near the box of boom,
       A               B                
 to an artificial tune, I see you swoon.
 E                                                 A                 
 Well you knew all this would turn to mist if your idea wasn't kissed
 B                    
 Why're you so p**sed?
 
 Pre-chorus
 
 A                                       B 
 Well I know you don't need the confusion
       A                           B 
 and I know you just ain't the type,
        A                          B                 A                       B    
 to get all wrapped up in the illusion of doin something that you know ain't right
 
 Right Right.
 
 Right Right??? Right Right??? Right Right???
 
 Chorus
 
  E                                          A              
 You've got to want to rearrange and keep it off the record.
 B              
 Off the record.
  E                                                 A              
 You've got to know that we will change and keep it Off The Record.
 B              
 Off The Record.
 
 
 Over this chorus, play the chorus riff again.
 
 E                                           A              
 You've got to want to rearrenge and keep it Off The Record.
 B             
 Off The Record
 E                                                  A              
 You've got to know that we will change and keep it Off The Record.
 B                      
 Off The Record come on!
 
 Play the intro again but instead of ending with this:
 
 D U D D D U D D

 e|--------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
 B|--------------------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
 G|--------------------1-1-x----1------1-1-x----1--|
 D|--------------------2-2-x----2------2-2-x----2--|
 A|----------0--2------2-2-x----2------2-2-x----2--|
 E|--0-0-0-3-----------0-0-x----0------0-0-x----0--|
 

 
 End with:

 e|----------------------------------|
 B|----------------------------------|
 G|----------------------------------|
 D|----------------------------------|
 A|----------------------------------|
 E|--0-0-0-3b-0-0--------------------|
 

 
 Now the jam starts!
 
 Play the above riff for a while and after that the keyboard comes in
 
 The keyboard chords are Em and Am.
