This is fingerpicked originally, so John does a lot of playing around with notes within the chords.
just listen to him play it and you can figure a lot of them out. For example, sometimes he adds the high G
(High E string, 3rd fret) to the C chord or leaves the B string open on the G6 chord. Also the Fadd9 chord
can also be played as a Fmaj or Fm7 and it sounds right. Again, this being an adaptation of a fingerpicked
song kind of makes the exact chords somewhat fluid.
[Intro]
C Am G6 C Am Fadd9 C Fadd9 C G6 C
[Verse]
C
Come down from your mountain
Am G6 C
I miss your holy shouting
Am
These days I can't make you make a sound
Fadd9 C
Take me to the times when
Fadd9 C
We'd look up to the skies
G6
And climb up there and draw the thunder down
C
Now I'm forcing myself into
Am G6 C
What you've already been through
Am
But darling I can't help the way I feel
Fadd9 C
And you need something stronger
Fadd9 C
A drug to kill the hunger
G6 C
And ease the awful pain of living here
[Chorus]
Am C
And I'm the kind of love it hurts to look at
Am C
And maybe we should take it as a sign
Fadd9 C
When I'm strung out on leaving
Fadd9 C
Exalting all my demons
G6 C
And you don't care for me enough to cry
C Am G6 C Am Fadd9 C Fadd9 C G6 C
[Verse]
C
I dreamt I'd take you with me
Am G6 C
And you'd say you forgive me
Am
And we'd live out some easy, ancient song
Fadd9 C
Now we're out here unattended
Fadd9 C
In the splendid loving remembrance
G6 C
You lost the mind to even do me wrong
[Chorus]
Am C
And I'm the kind of love it hurts to look at
Am C
But once I was enough to make you try
Fadd9 C
Now I'm underneath the rubble
Fadd9 C
Trying not to feel the trouble
G6 C
And you don't care for me enough to cry
C Am C Am C Fadd9 C Fadd9 C G6 C
[Chorus/Outro]
Am C
So here's to hoping I can change tomorrow
Am C
You wanted hard as nails cut and dry
Fadd9 C
But I beg, steal, and borrow
Fadd9 C
I'm so damn good at sorrow
G6 C
And you don't care for me enough to cry
