Chords
from August and Everything After
Words: Adam Duritz
Music: Adam Duritz & David Bryson
This is a very simple song to play involving a few easy chords with
alternating bass strings played. The effectiveness comes from the haunting,
soulful vocals.
These are the two main chords that make up the song (actually, the main riff)
e|--2--2--2-------2-------| B|--3--3--3-------3-------| G|--2--2--2-------0-------| D|--0-----0-------0-------| A|--------0---0---x-------| E|----------------3-------|
Strum those in rhythm, and it should sound right.
Those are the chords for all of the verse parts.
For the bridge, just arpeggiate them.
The verse is just a repetition on those chords for 8 bars I think.
[Intro]
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
[Verse]
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Took the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Across the water and home through the town D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Pretty soon now, I won't come around //// (strong strum)
[Chorus]
G A Em I'm almost drowning in her sea G D She's nearly fallen to her knees D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Took the way home .....(Ba, Ba, Baaaa)
[Verse]
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Took the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Where all the bodies hang on the air D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 If she remembers she hides it whenever we meet D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Either way now I don't really care
'Cause I'm gone from there
[Chorus]
G A Em I'm almost drowning in her sea G D (arpeggio*) She's nearly crawling on her knees
Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
D Gmaj7 She's down on her knees D Gmaj7 She's down on her knees
(strum)
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Took the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 Where I'm just another rider burned to the ground
Come tumbling down
[Chorus]
G A Em I'm almost drowning in her sea A Em She's near me, crawling on her knees G D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 It's almost everything I need.
[Outro]
D Gmaj7 I'm down on my knees D Gmaj7 I'm down on my knees
I'm down on....
D Gmaj7 down on my knees. D I'm down on my knees.
*Arpeggio:
D pluck 4&1 together, then 1,2,3,1,2,3
Gmaj7 pluck 6&1 together, same pattern
