Chords

From 2020 album Homegrown. This song uses a very clever hammer on/off switch between chords and I found some success using the following voicings. Gmaj7 xx0032 D x00232 F6 x0323x G 320003 Bb x1333x Am 002210 F 133211 [Intro] D Gmaj7 D x4 [Verse 1]
D                                   Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D
Who are you? Where are you goin' to?

D                                               Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D
What's your name? Why aren't you showin' through?

D               F6         D                F6
I look in your eyes and I don't know what's there

D          F6       D                 F6
You poison me with that long, vacant stare

D               F6      D                 F6
You dress like her and she walks in your words

D            F6      D                F6
You frown at me and then you smile at her
[Instrumental] G D Bb D D Gmaj7 D x2 [Verse 2]
D                                   Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D
Are you my friend? Are you my enemy?

D                                 Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D
Can we pretend to live in harmony?

D            F6      D           F6
You come through in the weirdest way

D        F6        D                 F6
You copy her with the words that you say

D           F6         D                  F6
I need that girl like the night needs the day

D        F6        D           F6
I don't need you getting in my way
