Chords

INTRO The intro follows a three chord pattern (Em, D, C) which appears in the song. I like to play the Intro anytime I see those three chords show up in the verses, but it sounds fine without it. The three chords are an A minor shape on the 7th fret (Em), an A major shape on the fifth fret (D), and a standard C. The 0h1 that appears within the C chord can be played anytime C is at the end of a line. Em D C

VERSE 1

   Em                   D
Trying to remember the very last time 

           C
I felt a simple thing going past 

            Em             
Was it the day in north Georgia

                D               C
When you were trying to take a bath?

                  Am            D 
She sees the Day Lily's post inside

          C                  D 
And the tears spring to her eyes

              Em                     D                     C
You turn the car around and you?re headed back down that track 
VERSE 2
              Em
She's had a heart attack 

           D                          C
But the bottle of Jack sits on the counter like the devil she knows 

        Em                    D
And he beats her up and she fills her cup 

           C                      D
With the embers of a dying fire glow

             Am                        D 
See how she looked in her school year book

                         C           D
Her friends signed the margins all around 

               Em                                   D
But would you stay in touch you know I miss you so much 

    C          D           G
I hope we get out of this town 
CHORUS
      Em             D                     C 
Every day that you get up and force your cards

              Em       D         C
Playing your story in fits and starts

             Em                 D              C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream 

          Am                 C                       Em 
And you bloody your hands, digging for your dream 
VERSE 3
         Em                            D                            C
I went looking for the answers from someone I heard believes that life gets easier 

          Em                           D                       C
And you learn how to breathe and you learn how to grieve your past

                 Am               D 
You study the masters and their books

          C                  D 
Giving in to the barbs and hooks

           Em                            D                 C 
Till you except it with grace when your true love doesn't last 
CHORUS
      Em             D                     C 
Every day that you get up and force your cards

              Em       D         C
Playing your story in fits and starts

             Em                 D              C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream 

          Am                 C                       Em 
And you bloody your hands? digging for your dream 
REPEAT CHORUS
             Em                 D               C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down 

             Em                 D               C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down 

             Em                 D               C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
