WILCO
"I'LL FIGHT" from WILCO (the album)
I got the original chord arrangement from a post already on the site. Thank you for
post. From there, I tabbed out the intro based on that arrangement. I have provided two
of the intro; a simple arrangement and a complex arrangement. The simple one is note
note what is played on the record where as the complex arrangement adds slaps (x) as well
possible extra notes (in other words, the way I play it on solo guitar as inspired by
masterful fingerstyle technique). With my intro and the original post attached, I hope
who stumbles upon this may find it easy enough to learn. Enjoy this wonderful song!
Capo on the 3rd fret (Notes provided are in relation to the capo)

Am
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
C
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
Dm
I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill for you
C Em7
I will, I will, I will
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/wilco/ill_fight_tab.html ]
Am
I'll go,I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
C
I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
Dm
I'll die, I'll die, I'll die, I'll die for you
C Em7
I will, I will, I will
E
And if I die
I'll die, I'll die alone on some
F C
Old private hill
F C
Abandoned by the mill
F
All my blood will
G
Spring and spill
F
I'll crash the air
G
and be still
Am
You'll wait
With the star from a dream
C
And know that I am gone
Dm
You'll feel it in your heart
C
But not for very long
Am
You'll rise each day as planned
C
Your will is your command
Dm
And stand each Sunday
C Em7
A hymnal steady in your hand
E
You'll sing to yourself
F
The rising-falling melody
C
That you could never read
F C
Without the choirs' lead
F G
Still alone, and lost in deep
F G
And your soul will not be free
Am
I will go , I will go, I will go
And in wars waters
C
I will wade
Dm
And I will know
If I remorse or regret
C
The fairness of our trade
Am
For you to live
I took your place
A deal was made
C
And I was paid
Dm
And the goldness
I was told
Was a place
C
Where my body could be laid
E
And we will steal your life
And I own
F
In better homes surrounded
C
By your peers
F C
Without suffering or fear
F G
Grandchildren far and near
F G
And none will shed a tear
F G
For the love no longer here
Am
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
C
I will
Dm
I'll fight, I'll fight,I'll fight, I'll fight for you
C Em7
I will, I will, I will
Am
I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill for you
C
I will
Dm
I'll die, I'll die, I'll die, I'll die for you
C Em7
I will, I will, I will
E
And if I die
I'll die
F
I'll die alone like Jesus
C
On a cross
F C
My faith cannot by tossed
F G
And my life will not be lost
F G
If my love comes across
