Chords

Another simple but beautiful song. In this one two guitars play rhythm and there is a lead guitar on top. The two rhythm guitars are mainly hitting down strokes on the D which can sound a bit boring as a solo guitarist so feel free to spice up the strumming and add some embellishments on the D chord. [Intro] D A G D [Verse]
D
Darling  gonna throw my mess around and holler through the night

A   G    D
One more time.

D
Add a little length to the neighbors day stumble to the light

    A    G   D    A    G   D
And slow my mind, slow my mind
[Chorus]
G                          D
Gonna get wasted all night long

G                                         A        G    D
Gripping on tight to the cutlery when the paranoia comes
[Verse]
D
Think about maybe it’s been awhile, ponder it all you like

         A   G    D          
You can take your time. 

D
Getting me arrested was the strangest way of showing me that your mine

       A     G   D           A     G   D   
But it saved my life. Yes it saved my life
[Chorus]
G                        D
I’ll be with you all in years

G                                          A                     G   D  
Now if anyone dies before I’m back see me laughing through those tears
[Verse]
D
Baby don’t you bring that hammer down, I'm doing it to myself

      A          G       D
Just leave these things alone

D
Playing on the couch with the record on, wouldn’t that be fine

         A    G    D         A     G   D   
When the days turn cold. The days turn cold
[Chorus]
G                             D
And all the trees are turning gold

         G                                        A                G    D    
Well you see me f**king with the mercury when the change of season comes
Rough idea for lead (not the accurate slide version)
