this song is called yellow ledbetter becuase its a slur of words. Veder mumbles on purpose and sometimes changes the lyrics during shows to what he is thinking about.

this song is called yellow ledbetter beacuse the name is a slur of words. He purposely mumbles and makes the words hard to understand.

This song wouldn't be so hard to understand if he pronounced the words instead of mumbling.

I looked up the lyrics and I saw some crazy variations... That part that sounds like a "box or a bag", people have stipulated it might say "boxer or a bag" like this video. I disagree with both because it makes more sense to say "I don't, I don't know if he'll come home in a box or with a bag" since it is a song about a friend in the first Gulf War. If he dies in war, he comes home in a box. If he does not, he comes home with a bag Any ideas?

The Wind Cries Mary isn't in E major ;) And I'd say this is a bit close to Little Wing's feel, than Lenny's, but it's all opinion

The intro kinda reminds me of Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix.

how can you tell what he is saying...uh...singing? sounds sort of slurred or something, but I like the song!
