Chords

Lovely track from very early in Sam Beam's discography. The chord progression keeps returning to Dsus2 in order to highlight the melody, which repeatedly emphasizes the second scale degree, E. [Intro] D Dsus2 G G D Dsus2 G G [Verse 1]

D                  Dsus2               G              G
Blue light sittin' lotus-style on your A-frame in the countryside

D                    Dsus2            G   G
Stillness slides the door and walks inside

D             Dsus2             G                    G
Candle on the windowsill burned wickless through our low-lit meal

D           Dsus2                A   A
Heaven only knows the things you hide

[Chorus]

        G    G    D Dsus2
In your blue eyes

         G   G    A A
And your sly smile

[Interlude] D Dsus2 G G D Dsus2 G G [Verse 2]

D            Dsus2                  G               G
Tangerine on both your hands smells strong as the tobacco can

D            Dsus2              G   G
Roll me up a smoke if you don't mind

D                  Dsus2               G                    G
Touch me like that afternoon when your friends would all be over soon

D                       Dsus2                A    A
And you said, "What the hell, we'll make the time"

[Chorus]

          G    G   D Dsus2
With your blue eyes

         G   G    A A
And your sly smile

[Outro] G G D Dsus2 G G A A D Dsus2 G G D Dsus2 G G D
