The Black Crowes Song Title: Ballad In Urgency TBC Original? Yes Written By: C.R & R.R. Recording Session: Amorica Record: Amorica Live Debut: 08/22/1994 Shows: 238 times played live Related Song: Low Down Notes: A markedly different version of this song was recorded during the Tall sessions. The song was called Low Down and had different verses but shared the same "hate and greed, swollen and sweet" The song's working title was "Ballad Of Urgency" during the Amorica Sessions. -------------------------------------- The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com Tuning: EADGBE (Standard) Intro/Pre-Chorus: E-------------------| B----0-------0---2--| G------4-------0-0--| x2 D--5-----5-4-----2--| A----------------0--| E-------------------| This is tough to hear on both studio and live recordings. On the studio song there is Ford's part and a sitar played over it and during live shows this is once again mixed with Marc's part, things up, but after numerous listens to the song on the album and live, this is what I could come up with Rich's part. Pre-Verse 1: E-----7-0-------------------| B-----------7------7-5------| G-------------6----------6--| x4 D---------7------7-----7----| A--0------------------------| E---------------------------| This is only played before the first verse.
