Chords

Tabbed by: jakevogel Double Drop D tuning – tune both E strings down to D (I was not a music major and have probably mislabeled some of the chords. I chose the labels for ease. Also I'm not sure that he tunes the high “e” string down to “d” but I like the way it sounds acoustically so that’s what I did.) On the Dsus he actually uses his pinky to play it 054050. The last two notes are both E, so he doesn't tune down the e string. Mostly that means you don't strum the last e string in several chords. I think it's easier this way, and I like the way it sounds as I have written it - but that's not "gospel"! Play it however you want and enjoy playing it. I only hope this helps get you started so you can add your variations as you like!) [Chords]

[Intro] Dsus Dsus Dsus Dsus [Verse]
     Dsus        Dsus
On a lark.  On a whim.

               Am7                       Em7                        Dsus
I said there’s two kinds of men in this world and you’re neither of them

        Dsus          Dsus
And his fist, cut the smoke

          Am7                  Em7                  Dsus
I had an eighth of a second to wonder if he got the joke

      Dsus         Dsus
In the car, headed home

            Am7                   Em7                 Dsus
She asked if I had considered the prospect of living alone

       Dsus             Dsus
With a steak, held to my eye

          Am7                  Em7                    Dsus
I had to summon the confidence needed to hear her goodbye

     Am7                     Em7                  Dsus
And another brief chapter without any answers blew by
[Chorus]
         D                           G                     D      G
And the songs that she sang in the shower are stuck in my head

                    D    Asus              D
Like Bring Out The Dead.      Breakfast In Bed.

       D                   G                             D     G
And experience robs me of hope that she’ll make it back home

                    D   Asus                  D
So I’m stuck on my own.      I’m stuck on my own.
[Verse]
     Dsus       Dsus
In a room, by myself

               Am7                     Em7                    Dsus
Looks like I’m here with a guy that I judge worse than anyone else

     Dsus        Dsus
So I pace, and I pray

      Am7                     Em7                        Dsus
And I repeat the mantras that might keep me clean for the day
[Chorus]
         D                           G                   D      G
And the songs that she sang in the shower all ring in my ear

                    D    Asus                     D
Like Wish You Were Here,     how I wish you were here.

       D                   G                        D     G
And experience robs me of hope that you’ll ever return

                    D    Asus                   D   D - A/C#
So I breathe and I burn.      I breathe and I burn.
[Bridge]
        Bm                           A                     G
And the church bells are ringing for those who are easy to please

         Bm                          A                         G    Asus
And the frost on the ground prob’ly envies the frost on the trees
[Chorus]
         D                      G                     D      G
And the songs she sang in the shower are stuck in my mind

                  D    Asus                     D
Like Yesterday’s Wine,       like Yesterday’s Wine

         D                    G                     D      G
And experience tells me that I’ll never hear them again

                  D    Asus                     D
Not thinking of then.         Not thinking of then.
[Finale] G Asus D
