Chords

Daniel Joseph Moore is credited as the songwriter, this is from Bonnie Raitt's album Sweet Forgiveness. The album version is played in Eb, but for this I chorded it in G Capo 3. For the intro, add the 7th and minor 3rd with your ring finger on the 3rd frets of the 3rd and 4th strings. [Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]

In a jungle of your own words

You hurt another, hurt a brother

And wait for the cure
