Alright this amazing, beautiful song was originally released on Nathaniel's debut album known as The Wheel - Desire and Dissolving Men, but since he no longer performs as such, and still plays the song live, I'll put it here. Artist: The Wheel Song: Solomon Album: Desire and Dissolving Men Chords used: Em7 [-0-] Cadd9? [-0-] G? [-0--] [-3-] [-3-] [-3-----------------------------] [-0-] [-0-] [-0-----------------------------] I'm not sure of these chord names, [-2-] [-2-] [-0-----------------------------] but the shapes are correct. [-2-] [-3-] [-2-----------------------------] [-0-] [-0-] [-3-----------------------------] This has a typical Nathaniel strum pattern. Using the thumb, on the down strokes of the bass notes, and lightly picking the upstroke with the index and ring finger. D D U D UU D UU DD UU D UU D UU [------------------------------------] [------3----3----3------3----3----3--] [-------0----0----0------0----0----0-] This is pretty close for the verse [---------------------2--------------] but I don't feel the strumming is as [----2----2----2----3-3----3----3----] important, because the song is like [--0-0----0----0----0------0----0----] 85% vocals. Em7 Cadd9 Verse 1: (not a 100% percent on lyrics) Em7 Cadd9 I want to be the drum (drug?), that slows me down Em7 Cadd9 I want to care to not, break through Em7 Cadd9 I want to have no sense, or meaning Em7 Cadd9 I want to start myself, anew (on you?) Chorus: (strumming opens up a little more) G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck living, a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck living, a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck living, a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck living, a good life Em7 Cadd9 A good life Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 I want a piece that glimmers, to show them all Em7 Cadd9 I want to be delivered, from you Em7 Cadd9 I want to smile but got, no reason now Em7 Cadd9 I want way to bench, the truth G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck, living a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck, living a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck, living a good life G Cadd9 Aint it hard luck, living a good life Em7 Cadd9 A good life Em7 Cadd9 Em7 That's it. Pretty close anyway, the picking is a little more intricate than this, but you get the jist anyway. Comments, corrections, lyrical help welcome.
