Chords

Attempt to capture chords to play along with the official audio: I used the April 15, 2022 live stream for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yssuF8S6WM The notes in parentheses are individual walking notes as he passes between chords. The chord diagrammed as Bm* is an open variation of the chord that he frequently uses in his fingerpicked songs. [Chords] G 3x0003 C/G 3x2013 Bm* x24030 Bm x24432 C x32010 Dadd4 x5403x Am x02210 Am7 x02010 Am7* x02013 [Intro] G C/G G C/G G C/G G x2 [Verse 1]
G                  Bm*
  It won't last forever

C                              G
  It's there and then it's gone

(F#) Em                 Bm
        Burns out like firewood

C                      Dadd4
  And fades out like a song
[Chorus 1]
C               Dadd4
  And I have no answers darling

G                  (F#)  Em
  It's neither right  or wrong

             Am
But when the hammer comes down

D7
  It is going going gone
[Interlude] G C/G G C/G G C/G G [Verse 2]
G                       Bm
  It's the wheel of fortune

C                          G
  It's the luck of the draw

(F#) Em                    Bm
        It's funny how the people with the most

        C                             G   C/G G
Are the ones who are reaching out for more
[Chorus 2]
C                     Dadd4
  There's no rhyme or reason darling

G                  (F#)   Em
  It's neither short  nor long

             Am
But when the hammer comes down

      D7
It is going going gone
[Outro]
Em                     A7
  Like sunshine on the ocean

          D                 C             G   C/G G
You can't catch it in your hands if you try

Em                   A7
  Like waking from a dream that's fading

        D               C           G           (F#)   Em
And the more that you chase it, the less that you  can taste it

     Am7                           D7
'Til all you have's the echo of a song

             Am7*
For when the hammer comes down

      D7                    G  C/G  G  C/G  G  C/G  G
It is going going going gone
