I’m using no capo and in D, as the haunting perfect fith works well in first position D, although I don’t know the lead (Todd) is playing capo’d or not. I will take care of soloing with a few Also, my instincts really want to play a G, or something ‘G-ish’ within the first two of the verse. I think the Bassist is tricking our ear. Seems we should keep it on D. drums and auxiliary percussion are awesome for this tune (Not too loud, though) Accents Mandolin can be awesome. ~Introduction – 12 measures (slow 4)~ D riff violin || . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | drums . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . || D G Oh Lord to see a light D But fail in strength to follow G C G D Sometimes it’s hard to let it go D G Oh Lord to fail in heart D Each day grow more hollow G C G D Sometimes I just don’t wanna know. G D But the road that led me here G D Has begun to disappear G C G D Sometimes I wonder where I am. Oh Lord to hear a voice But let it fade and wallow Sometimes it’s hard to let it go. Oh Lord to find the words But keep them in and swallow One day the top is gonna blow (Chorus) But the road that left me here Has begun to disappear Sometimes I wonder who I am. ~Instrumental Bridge - measures~ Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A || . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | D | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | D | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . | . . . . || (Back to verse…) (drums out) Oh Lord to stumble by For years without knowing Sunrise has burned my eyes again.
