Chords
This song frustrated me for the longest time because of the slide in the verse riff. I could never get a very
bright sound using the power chords shown in other versions. I did my best to match the chords to the lyrics
but the slide complicates the vocal rhythm. So youll just have to listen and figure it out.

[Verse]
D Bsus4 G A I said but lately I've been feeling mighty old D Bsus4 G A I said the sun has got me cracked and this wind has got me cold D Bsus4 G A and I'm so damn tired of losing my friends D Bsus4 G A every single time I go and lose my ends D Bsus4 G A I say but that's okay, I'm on my way D Bsus4 G A I don't appear near, but maybe I'll end up that way D Bsus4 G A and in awhile when I realize there's something new D Bsus4 G A but until then I gotta hold on true
