Enjoy! Tuning is one tone below standard: DGCFAD, as seem to be all the songs I've transcribed from this album. PLEASE NOTE THAT chords below are ACTUAL chords. Hence, a voicing may be e.g. 022100, but the sound you'll make is a D-chord. If that's what I heard, that is what I would call it. I've included chord voicings and notes in each section of the song as some chords are unusual. The CHORUS chords are predominately jazz voicings, which look fierce, but with practice can be nailed. INTRO: Chords (DGCFAD): D 022100 [strum D gently] VERSE: Chords (DGCFAD): D 022100 Gm(maj7)add6 x02112 G x02220 Gm7/F 3x2010 F#m7 464444 E7 x44320 Bm x46654 A7 x2120x Gmaj7 x02120 D G D Take my hands, they're all I've got F#m7 Bm Gmaj7 Gm(maj7)add6 I ain't got no nothing to prove but I forgot D G D Take my heart I'll wear it out Gm7/F D E7 The friends I make here all come at extra cost A7 What say we just get lost CHORUS: Notes: The first four chords are jazz voicings. These are not barr?d, in case you were wondering... I've indicated the fingers to use for each of these chords, which may help. It will still take practice to nail the transitions, though. But it's worth it...!
