THE HEAVY AND THE SLOW -- ANDY GRAMMER (2011) ** Standard Tuning ** Capo IV ** All chords are played only on the bottom four strings (EADG), so do your best to mute the top two so they don't ring, if you're using a pick. The song flows better if you fingerpick, though.
** T=10  E=11  W=12

I used to borrow clouds from a friend

A         Bm  A   G         F#m   Em7  F#m  Em7 --
Fold them neatly, hand them back again

I give and don't take a thing
