NOTE:
Since putting in double digit numbers i will refer to 10, 11, or 12 as the following:
t = 10
e = 11
w = 12
You can take some liberties with the intro and the verse, blake plays it in a more
pattern live, but this is just about it. The chords shown above are just to give you a better
as to where to put your fingers. I was doing the ts and the es and the ws and figured
its hard to read. So i put the chord shapes.
Intro/Verse:
D Bbsus3 Asus3 Bm Bm7
E |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

D |--w-----w-------|----------------|--9------9------|--7------7------|

B |------t-----t---|--e------t------|------7------7--|------7------7--|

B |------3---3---3s|--5-------------|--t-------------|--3-s-5---------|
e |------3---3---3s|--5-------------|--t-------------|--3-s-5---------|
Thats basically the riff, so do that all throughout the verse.
D
Pull the ripchord,
Bbsus3 Asus3
The ship has lost it's sail.
Bm
Your mama's got a new man
Bm7
Your daddy always fails
G
And you're eating again,
A
At them,
D
Cause nobody loves you.
G (slide) A
D
And even fancy things,
Bbsus3 Asus3
Have finally lost their charm
Bm
Wine and diamond rings
Bm7
They never get you anymore,
G
You're sleeping again
A
Alone,
D
Cause nobody loves you.
G (slide) A
G* F#
Ooh, oh oh oh
Bm Bm7
They should have seen you, shoulda known you
G A* A7 Aadd5 (in whatever order sounds right)
Shoulda known what it was like to be you
Then just do that same thing for the last part.
So, come on kid
Look at what you did
I don't know if you meant it
But you did yourself in
And I was even having a good day
When I found out we lost you.
Ooh, ooh ooh
She said it was in the singing
And the strumming
Oh man, I even seen it coming...
Outro:
Repeat intro.
ALTERNATE INTRO!
I cant decide for the life of me which intro is correct, so its either the one above, or
following. I play this one, but only because it's softer and easier to sing to. I don't
know.
Intro/Verse:
D D Asus3 Bm Bm7
E |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
A |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D |--w-----w-------|--w-------------|--9------9------|--7------7------|
G |----e-----e-----|--e-------------|----7------7----|----7------7----|
B |------t-----t---|--t------t------|------7------7--|------7------7--|
e |------t-----t---|--t------9------|------7------7--|------7------7--|
G A D G s A
(strum) (strum) (strum)
E |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
A |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D |--5-------5---5s|--7-------------|--w-------------|--5-s-7---------|
G |----4-----4---4s|--6-------------|--e-------------|--4-s-6---------|
B |------3---3---3s|--5-------------|--t-------------|--3-s-5---------|
e |------3---3---3s|--5-------------|--t-------------|--3-s-5---------|
If you play the Bbsus3 with the recording, it sounds right, but if you play it without
recording, it sounds really off.
