I was just trying to figure out this amazing song and I figure I'd contribute my so others can enjoy. The strumming is done by picking down on a bass note then strumming up on the bottom then picking down on the next bass note and then up again on the bottom strings. For the F - F7 parts I use an open chord and switch between: 1--- 0--- | 1--- 1--- | -2-- -2-- | --3- --3- | ---- ---- | ---- ---- | I don't think the other chords matter. Intro F5 F5 Bb5 D5 I know a girl with cuts on her legs. A5 Bb5 I think that she hates the way she was made, A5 Bb5 but we never spoke of why they were there, D5 Bb5 I just squeezed them and kissed them F5 C5 F5 F5 ?til we both felt a bit better. Bb5 D5 And now I?ve returned to the town where she dwells; A5 Bb5 that small lonely cabin her grandfather built, A5 Bb5 I suppose that?s where she?s imprisoned herself, D5 Bb5 F5 C5 to write all those words she?s too scared to tell ? D5 Bb5 F5 C5 F5 F5 those sad, short stories of a girl curled up in her shell. D5 A5 F5 C5 Night and day she tends to the bar. F5 F5 Bb5 F5 She pours the drinks, they pour out their hearts. D5 A5 F5 C5 All that sorrow and al-co-hol F5 F5 weighs hard on her thoughts, Bb5 so she writes them down?. Bb5 F5 F5 she loves them all. Bb5 And when we?d make love D5 she?d stare in my eyes?. A5 Bb5 I swore we had met a thousand times. A5 Bb5 Thousands of lives, thousands of nights?. D5 Bb5 F5 C5 She?d written within a thousand lines. (pause) D5 A5 F5 C5 Night and day she tends to her bar. F5 F5 Bb5 F5 She pours me a drink for my thirsty heart. D5 A5 F5 C5 All my sorrow?s in al-co-hol? F5 F5 Bb5 she holds up the cup to my parched lips F5 F5 for a kiss.
