Chords

Notes: This is the song as played in the studio version. Sam Beam plays a lot of different high notes in there with the chords. The chords as written here are basically just the right shapes. The original technically has a lot of variation. If you like to play it as in the studio version, just play these chords and add the high notes as he does, but watch out; The studio version is a little bit flat. [Intro] | Cadd9 | % | Am | % | x2 [Verse 1]
Cadd9                           Am                 Cadd9
      This is the place where I met my Lucy Jones

                          Am
I marked it well with a sacred stack of stones

        G6                          F
I'll be here when she comes back in town

        G6                          F       G6
From overseas she's been traveling 'round
[Verse 2]
Cadd9                          Am                   Cadd9
      A letter came from my sweetheart Lucy Jones

                         Am
She said she's fine but I shouldn't try to phone-

         G6                    F
Her anymore, calling costs too much

    G6                               F     G6
It ended there in sighs and quite abrupt
[Harmonica] | Am | Am | G6 | G6 | | Am | Am | G6 | G6 | | F | G6 | F | G6 | | F | G6 | F | G6 | | Am | G6 | F | G6 | | Am | G6 | F | G6 | [Verse 3]
Cadd9                             Am                Cadd9
      Have you heard from my ex-lover Lucy Jones?

                            Am
Who crossed the sea and left me here all alone

           G6                    F
Naught to do, but whittle on the bone

           G6                    F      G6
And sit upon a heavy stack of stones
