C/G 332010 Dadd4add9/A 554030 Hammer on the 5th string for the G chord, just work out the timing. Capo 4 Fret ************ [Intro] G C/G G [Verse 1]
C/G                        G
If there's a diamond in my mind

C/G                     G
Will it dwindle down to naught

C/G                  G
Or will it always be defined

C/G                      G
If I cant fix it with my heart
[Chorus]
Dadd4add9/A C/G         G
So I'm returning to the place

Dadd4add9/A  C/G            G
That I might look into your eyes

Dadd4add9/A C/G             G
And look so hard that I can taste

Em                         G
That winter sun that never sets

Em                           G
The sparrow caught up in the nets

Em                         G
The perfect chorus when it hits

C/G                                G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
[Verse 2]
C/G                          G
Was heading northward when I saw

C/G                         G
That empty house out in the midst

C/G                        G
There are traces there for sure

C/G                     G
On every mouth you ever kissed
[Chorus]
Dadd4add9/A C/G         G
So I'm returning to the word

Dadd4add9/A   C/G         G
Find my place between the lines

Dadd4add9/A   C/G       G
Where I might dutifully recall

Em                           G
The blue within your seagull stare

Em                        G
The funny ways you had to care

Em                            G
For every little thing beyond compare

C/G                                G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave

C/G                     G
Laa laa laaa laaa laaa  Laa laa laaa laaa

C/G                     G
Laa laa laaa laaa laaa  Laa laa laaa laaa

C/G                     G
Laa laa laaa laaa laaa  Laa laa laaa laaa

C/G                     Dadd4add9/A
Laa laa laaa laaa laaa  Laa laa laaa laaa
[Chorus]
Em                    G
now I call out in the gulf

Em                         G
When you went walking with wolf

Em                                G
Hey boy, you really brought it on yourself

C/G                                Dadd4add9/A
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave

Em                        G
The strangest for we ever faced

Em                         G
The stark in every staging grace

Em                        G
Is crushing diamonds into paste

C/G                                G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave

C/G                                G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave

C/G                                G
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
