Down- Mat Kearney Tabbed by: Iltrivosk Tuning: Standard EADGBe (Capo 5th) This is the chord sheet for the rhythm guitar. I realize there's a massively intricate tab necessary for the lead guitar, but for right now, this is all I've got. They're pretty basic chords, so just strum them all fully and listen to the song for the pattern. Comment for any questions or corrections! Chords (relative to capo): Am-002210 C-032010 Cadd9-032033 Dsus2-x00233 Em7-022033 F-133211 F/Dsus-200033 G-320033 G6-320010 Intro: Am F C G6 Verse 1: Am F It took his breath away, holding the bank page C G6 He got the letter, they're going to take the house away Am F About to have a daughter, he yells it in the air C G6 F Feeling the weight of the world that just don't care Am F He lit a cigarette, felt it on his lip C G6 Driving home on a long road with regret Am F He rolls the window down, shouts it out loud C G6 F Pushing the pedal and praying "Lord, help us now" G6 G (stop) He's looking for a reason watching the sun going down Chorus: (strum chords twice each, until "all you see...")
