Chords

This is a wonderful song, that you can't find anywhere unless you happen to catch it live. I tabbed this from two separate videos found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkIh2NBwhUM There is a funny chord at the end of the progression technically called an Faddb2, but for easy sake just play like this: F (e 002431 E), the G* is his favorite chord I think but it has no official name. Played like this G* (e 000003 E) UPDATE: If your going to just strum the song, play the G* normally as (e 300023 E), and the F as an F/C (e 012330 E). Questions and Comments greatly appreciated. CAPO: 4 Progression: Am > C (hammer on D string) > G* > F Intro: Am > C > G* > F
Am              C
Go put out the fire

    G*                           F
And I'll meet you on the other side

Am                C
Walk with me alone

     G*                            F
I will not harm you, Or let you die

Am                       C
The paper said I'm a killer

   G*              F
Papers lie

Am                   C
Tomorrow we will drive

    G*                        F
To North California state line

Am                    C
If you call off the guns

G*                   F (extend)
I'll call off the dogs

Am                 C
Go put out the fire

    G*                          F
Boy, I'll meet you on the other side

Am              C
Walk with me alone

    G*                               F
Just might cut you, Or leave you to die

Am                        C
The papers said I'm a killer

   G*                        F
The papers were right

Am                  C
Tomorrow we will drive

G*                       F
To your brand new burial site

Am                     C
If you call off the guns

G*                  F
I'll call off the dogs

Am                     C
If you call off the guns, well,

G*                  F
I'll call of the dogs...
(pluck) Am > C > G* > F x2 (strum) Am > C > G* > F x2 (more intensity)
Am                     C
If you call off the guns

G*                  F
I'll call off the dogs

Am                     C
If you call off the guns, well,

G*                  F
I'll call of the dogs...

Am                   C
They'll never find you

G*                        F
They'll never catch me, no no…   x2
