Chords
D is sometimes played on all open strings, but also sometimes like this:
D ----4--- A ----0--- F# ----3--- D ----0--- A ----0--- D ----0---
G is also played in two different ways, most of the time (in the verses and all the quick changes) like this:
D ----0--- A ----0--- F# ----1--- D ----0--- A ----2--- D ----0---
But in the chorus it's like this
D ----5--- A ----0--- F# ----5--- D ----0--- A ----0--- D ----0---
Dsus4 is like this
D ----2--- A ----0--- F# ----1--- D ----0--- A ----0--- D ----0---
A is played like this
D ----0--- A ----0--- F# ----3--- D ----0--- A ----4--- D ----0---
And for the D/F# in the bridge, just play the F# on the 6st string, all the other strings open
You can play the same chords in standard tuning, for a more open sound you can then play the Dsus4 like this
E ----0--- B ----3--- G ----0--- D ----0--- A ----0---
E ----X---
[Intro]
D Dsus4 D G D G D G D
[Verse 1]
D Dsus4 D G D Oh naïve little me D Dsus4 D G D Asking what things you have seen D G D G D And you're vulnerable in your head A G D G D You'll scream and you'll wail 'till you're dead
[Verse 2]
D Dsus4 D G D Creatures veiled by night D Dsus4 D G D Following things that aren't right D G D G D And they're tired and they need to be led A G D G D But you'll scream and wail 'till you're dead
[Chorus]
D Dsus4 G D But give me to a rambling man D Dsus4 D G D G D G D Let it always be known that I was who I am
[Verse 3]
D Dsus4 D G D Beaten battered and cold D Dsus4 D G D My children will live just to grow old D G D G D But if I sit here and weep A G D G D I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze
[Verse 4]
D Dsus4 D G D And the weak need to be led D Dsus4 D G D And the tender are carried to their bed D G D G D And it's a pale and cold affair D Dsus4 D G D And I'll be dammed if I'll be found there
[Chorus]
D Dsus4 G D But give me to a rambling man D Dsus4 D G D G D G D G D G D G D G D Let it always be known that I was who I am
[Bridge]
D/F# D It's funny that the first chords that you come to D/F# D Are the minor notes that come to serenade you D/F# D D/F# D And it's hard to accept yourself as someone, you don't desire G D G D G D G D As someone you don't want to be
[Chorus]
D Dsus4 G D Oh give me to a rambling man D Dsus4 D G D Let it always be known that I was who I am D Dsus4 G D Oh give me to the rambling man D Dsus4 D G D G D G D G D G D G D G D Let it always be known that I was who I am
