Chords
There are a couple of weird chords, so here are the shapes for them:
Bm F#m
e|-2-------2---| B|-3-------0---| G|-0-------2---| D|-0-------0---| A|-2-------0---| E|---------2---|
Also, for the first two lines of each verse it seems like there's a hammer on when going to Bm on the A string
[Intro]
For this I keep my middle and ring fingers on the e and B strings and strum while hitting the other notes,
listen to the song to figure out the rhythm
[Intro]
e|------2-------------------------------2----2---2-----------| B|------3-------------------------------3--3-------3---------| G|------2-------------------------------2------2-------------| D|--0-------4--2--4------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------0h4--2----------------------------| E|---------------------------------2--3----------------------|
(two repetitions of this)
[Verse]
D Bm Please wake up D Bm Please wake up D Bm C Touch my skin and tell me where you've been D Bm You brought me in D Bm You brought me in D Bm C So touch my skin and tell me where you've been
[Bridge]
F#m G You showed me how F#m G A G To keep myself from burning out
[Chorus]
D A They found you in the morning G The blood was on your shoulders D A They found you at the corner G Your head was doubled over D A G And the blood of the man who killed my mother with his hands D Is in me A It's in me G In my veins
[Verse]
D Bm Please wake up D Bm Please wake up D Bm C Touch my skin and tell me where you been D Bm You brought me in D Bm My best friend D Bm C So touch my skin and tell me where you been
[Bridge]
F#m G You showed me how F#m G To hold my sin F#m G A G And kiss the bad ways i have been
[Chorus]
D A They found you in the morning G The blood was on your shoulders D A They found you at the corner G Your head was doubled over D A G And the blood of the man who's killing our mother with his hands D Is in me A It's in me G In my veins D It's in me A It's in me G In my veins
[Outro]
(Same as the intro, play it twice and let the last chord ring out)
