My version I play, hope ya’ll like it! Fingerpicking, hybrid picking, strum it, or a mixture through the verse
and chorus.
NOTE:
I put Cadd9/C to represent a hammer on from Cadd9 to C. x1003x to x1023x, hammer on the 2.
I’ve done the same thing with E7/E, you’re going from E7 to E via hammer on.
[Intro]
Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (x4)
[Verse]
C G
Travellin’ through the graveyard
Am G4
With a suitcase full of sparks
F G C G4
Honey, I'm just trying to find my way to you
C G
Lit up every campfire
Am G4
Found out in the dark
F G C
Oh, I cut down all the cottonwoods
[Intro]
Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (x2)
[Verse]
C G
Picked up all the arrowheads
Am G4
Off buffalo trails of the Indians
F G C G4
The Oklahoma sky was cutting through
C G
Along the tracks with the runaway
Am G4
He just talks and talks and talks
F G C
Honey, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Chorus]
Cadd9/C E7 Am F
And I quit counting stars at night
Cadd9 F E7/E E7
In the cold, by the satellite field
Am G C F
And I quit panning gold, digging holes
C G C
Yeah, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Intro]
Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (x4)
[Verse]
C G
Swam across the Poncha
Am G4
Took a train to Cataloo
C G
I opened up my guitar case
Am G4
And all the songs were blue
C G
I haunted all the alleys
Am G4
Lord I drifted down the valleys
F G C
Honey, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Chorus]
Cadd9/C E7 Am F
And I quit casting hooks, Off
Cadd9 F E7/E E7
the California coast we held so dear
Am G C F
And I quit flashing smiles, and running wild
C G C
Yeah, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Intro]
Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (x4)
[Verse]
C G
Threw my bottle to the ocean
Am G4
She never wrote me back
F G C G4
All the countless days along the sea of blue
C G
Learned the language of the mocking bird
Am G4
She took and twisted all my words
F G C
Yeah, I'm just trying to find my way to you
[Ending]
E7 F
And I'll meet you in the graveyard
F G G7
With the winter trees and stars
F G C
And we can open up this suitcase full of sparks
[Outro & Humming]
Cadd9/C G Am7 G4 (Fade Out)
