The Killing Tree
Music And Lyrics by Paul Coleman Trio, (c) 1999
from the albums Serious Fun and Live Acoustic CD (this version is from the Live CD)

there is already a tab up for this song, but this version has all the accoustic solo
and electric solo, plus the bridge which were not in the last tab

the entire song, except solos, is done in open chords 
(like most paul colman/trio songs)

Capo on 4

  Am    Asus4    A2     Fadd9    C        G

intro/verse
Am    Asus4     A2     Am
Fadd9 Fadd9     C      G

when transferring from the A2 to the Am and from the C to the G, dont transfer
on the beat - leave it a bit late

chorus
Am C G C
Am C G C
Am G G

bridge
C 
G
Am C Am C G X 4
G C G C G Am (the change from the last C to G to Am is really quick)

Ok, tho solo is split into two parts in the live version - the accoustic and
the electric, so accoustic is GTR1 and electric is GTR2

GTR1 -E |-0---------------------|-------7-7-7-----8-8-8-
      B |-1--1--0---------------|------5-5-5-5---5-5-5--
      G |-2--------2--0--2--2---|-----------------------
      D |-2---------------------|-----------------------
      A |-----------------------|-----------------------
      E |-----------------------|-----------------------

      E |----10-10-10-----8-8-8----7-7-7-------------------------
      B |5--5--5--5--5---5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5------1--0--------------
      G |--------------------------------------------2--0--0--2--
      D |--------------------------------------------------------
      A |--------------------------------------------------------
      E |--------------------------------------------------------

      E |---------- After this the aacoustic plays the main riff again
      B |---------- and the electric solo takes over after a few bars 
      G |--2------- of the riff
      D |----------
      A |----------
      E |----------

GTR2 -E |--0------------1------------3------------5--------------
      B |--------------------------------------------------------
      G |--------------------------------------------------------
      D |--------------------------------------------------------
      A |--------------------------------------------------------
      E |--------------------------------------------------------

      very slow wah effect over those long single notes

      E |--------------3-----------------7---8-7--5---------------
      B |--0--1--0--1--------0--1--0--1---------------------------
      G |--------------------------------------------------------
      D |--------------------------------------------------------
      A |--------------------------------------------------------
      E |--------------------------------------------------------
      
almost straight after this, it goes back into the last verse
