Chords

TUNE DOWN YOUR GUITAR TWO SEMI-TONES: play around in D { x x 12 11 10 10 } Here's the army that you mowed to the ground play around in Bm { x x 9 7 7 7 } And the bodies you left lying around

A – A/G# - A/G           Bm - D
Talking it out the last hour

      A          G          F#              Bm - D
I'm through trying now, it's a big relief

A       G         F#
I'll be staying down

                          Bm        A   E/G#
Where no one else gonna give me grief

Your opinion was the law of the land

A single thing that I could always understand

I lived it out from hour to hour

      A          G          F#            Bm - D
The only thing that never really changed

A                 G         F#
You ran me all around

                            Bm              A  E/G#
And dragged me down at the end of the day

Just make it over

Situations that I passed up for this

One-way love I took for ours

I wasn't good at being a thief

G Gm
More_like_a_clown

A
Make it over

D Bm Bb A D ----------------------------------- I played this song using different chord positions, for example: I could have done the first A sequence (A – A/G# - A/G) like this:

         E A D G B e
A       { x  x 7  6  5  x }

A/G# { x x 6 6 5 x } A/G { x x 5 6 5 x } And the second:

         E A D G B e
A       { x  0 2  2  x  x }

A/G# { 4 0 2 2 x x } A/G { 3 0 2 2 x x } The “Bm – D” part is a normal B minor chord in seventh fret And the D is played: { 10 9 7 7 7 x } just a G mayor position with a bar :-P DMb5 is { x x 0 1 3 2 } E/G# is { 4 7 6 4 5 4 } --> a C/E position in 4th fret I don't have the solo neither the fingerpickins in Bm and D transcripted as I'm lazy, but trust me it's not difficult, just use your ears (and eyes too).9
