I recall reading an interview once with somebody -- maybe it was Dave Van Ronk? -- in which he said he didn't like doing topical songs because they have "a short shelf-life" and I tend to agree. But I was watching the news last night and this one just came out. Some member of the Tree of Life synagogue was being interviewed and he was askèd what he was feeling, and he said, "I feel angry and I feel confused." I'm guessing there are a lot of people who feel that way, and "After Pittsburgh" just kind of tumbled out from there.
Some lines still need ironing and the lyrics are straightforward. The melody is pure cowboy chord simplicity. But it says what I want it to say.

) The melody will change. The arrangement of the verse/brideg/etc will be different. But the basic chord pattern and lead figure is working very nicely. I expect to use the partial capo for a DADGAD type tuning. But the fingerings are the same, just with a little more discordant sound.
