Chords

Artist: Gregory Alan Isakov Song: Desdemone (temporary title) Album: Unreleased Tabbed By: Jo Lefebure Notes: * This was tabbed using the following YouTube video: * Fiddle around with a G and listen to the rhythm to figure it out. * I can't find the name of the second chord, so I'll call it G+. * Gregory also plays an open variation of this chord, which I'll call Gsus4. * During the intro and in between the verses, he plays the G power chord. * Throughout the verses he plays an open G. Just watch his hands in the video. * Since this is an unreleased song, the lyrics might be off. * Please rate the tab, not the lyrics. Thank you! Chords used:

[Intro] G G+ G G+ G G+ G [Verse]
   G         G+  G
Oh Desdemone

          C/G
She don't sleep

         D/A                      C/G
She just smokes and stares at the stars

               G      G++  G
Falling on her street

    G     Gsus4  G
She knows

             C/G
The night so long

         D/A                C/G
Then she tells me that each hour (?)

            G    Gsus4  G
Has its own song
[Chorus]
         Em     C/G
And if I drift

          G    Gsus4  G
Give me a shake

         Em      C/G
And just hold my feet

        G    Gsus4  G
Until I wake

        Em    C/G
Until I wake

             G   Gsus4  G
The dream of you

          C/G            D/A
Would you save me please

       C/G
When I come back for you
[Instrumental break] G G+ G G+ G G+ G Em C/G G Gsus4 G Em C/G G Gsus4 G [Verse]
          G          Gsus4  G
She's got nine years (?)

              C/G
All over this town

        D/A        C/G
I can't scratch my back

                        G  Gsus4  G
Without being found out

        G          Gsus4  G
Now I'm packing up

       C/G
Headed west

        D/A           C/G
Where I don't deal no good (?)

                   G  Gsus4  G
But I feel my best
[Chorus]
         Em     C/G
And if I drift

          G    Gsus4  G
Give me a shake

         Em      C/G
And just hold my feet

        G    Gsus4  G
Until I wake

        Em    C/G
Until I wake

             G   Gsus4  G
The dream of you

          C/G            D/A  C/G
Would you save me please
