Chords
The timing on most of the G to A chords is complicated because it's more of a riff than chords.
I believe the riff goes
G B A G e|3-7-5-3-| B|0-------| G|0-------| D|0-------| A|0-------| E|3-7-5-3-|
So you're sliding the G shape UP to a B, DOWN to an A then BACK to G. The picking pattern also changes to
Down-Mute-Mute during the G chords.
It's very hard to explain in words. Just listen to the song with what I typed in mind.
It may not be 100%, but it'll get you there.
[Verse 1]
D2 Lucy had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell D2 Lucy went to heaven but she still felt like hell D2 G So she only gave it two stars G A Worst place ever D2 She's the kind of person, anyway she tries D2 Always disappointed so she never feels surprised D2 G When she is always disappointed
[Pre-chorus 1]
G She holds my hand like I'm a barbed wire fence G A D2 Dance like they're watching you 'cause they are watching you
[Chorus]
D A And when the bright lights find you G A Don't let your heart get lazy D A Keep all the worst behind you Bm A That stuff will make you crazy G A Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls G A Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
[Verse 2]
D2 Hello operator, please give me number nine D2 If you disconnect me I think that would be fine D2 G Because all I can hear is talking G A So much talking D2 Appreciate the outrage, I did the best I could D2 I thought about your think piece, I don't think it's any good D2 G And anyway, I didn't read it
[Pre-chorus 2]
G Who writes this stuff? 'Cause it makes no sense G A D2 I just checked my privilege and it looks fine to me
[Chorus]
D2 A And when the bright lights find you G A They're gonna shine right through you D2 A Keep all the worst behind you Bm A Don't let the words get to you G A Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls G A Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
[Verse 3]
D2 The flies are in the meadow, the bees are in the park D2 Girls and boys are kissing as we stumble in the dark D2 G And we don't have a lot of time left
[Pre-chorus 3]
G You clutch your chest, you fake a heart attack G Laugh it up, nothing looks good on me G Somebody called, they want their something back G A D2 I'm not a piece of meat, I guess I'd like to be
[Chorus]
D2 A And when the bright lights find you G A Bro, come on, bro, don't tase me D2 A Keep all the worst behind you Bm A That stuff will make you crazy
[Outro]
G A Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls G A Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls G A Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls G A Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
G
D2 = xx032x You can play a regular D if you want to though. Or a D5. Whatever sounds best to you.
