Chords

When playing the G and Em Jeff hammers on and pulls off with his pointer and middle finger, practice with the song and you'll get it. As Jeff transitions between the G and Em he plays a G 5th (300033). You can skip the hit ons and pull offs and teh transition through G 5th if you'd like, it stiull sounds good. For most of the verse Jeff keeps his pinky and ring finger on the third fret of the B and e strings G: 320033 Em: 022033 C*: x320xx (position your fingers as 032033 but just don't play the B and e strings. You can also sometimes play the D chord this way, just move the chord shape up so it's x54055 an only play the A and D string)

D*: x54xxx
C: x32010

D: xx0232 Bm: x24432 E5: x799xx C5: x355xx D5: x577xx Cmaj7: x3200x B/D#: x698xx

G
There's a patch of ice shimmering under the sky

Em
On the south corner of Bushwick, on the residential side

    C*                                  G
And Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm afraid I'll slip

G
Most days when it's cloudy and all nights I stay inside

Em
But it's 2:30 on New Years' Day and outside it's looking bright

    C*                                     G           D             C
And Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii could use some chips and a bottle of soda

       Bm              C  D
For my quest to rescue Zelda

G
Trying to be brave, I touched the puddle to my tongue

Em
And within a millisecond the bottom of my face went numb

    C*                                         G     D*
And no one on the street knew anything was wrong

G
So I tried to wave my arms to find that they were frozen too

Em
And I tried to run away, my legs felt like they were stuck in glue

    C*                                        G
And Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii started to hear a storm

           D                    C
Through my ears poured freezing rain

       Bm                C    D
And it froze my freezing brain

G
A handful of neighbors gathered underneath the awning

D
Of the laundromat 200 feet from the front door of my building

Em
And it smacked me like a pinball

C
And it crushed me like a wrecking ball

Em
I was swallowed by a cold duvet

C                      D           G
And the kids are gonna have a snow day

G Em C* G D G Em C* G D

G
I couldn't bear to find out how the story was gonna end

Em
So I closed my eyes and went to sleep and no one found me dead

      C*                           G     D*
Cause everybody stayed inside 'til March

G
And a patch of flowers grew out of the concrete where I lied

Em
Some boy picked a dandelion to give to a girl he liked

    C*                                         E5     B/D#
And she gave him a kiss that warmed his lonely heart

         D5              C5
Now they hold each other tight

          Bm          Cmaj7
And stay in on winter nights
