Chords

This is my first Chord submission. I sussed this out by listening and watching Rocky play it on youtube. I thought he always tuned 1/2 step down, but in this case, he must have been tuned down a full step. Anyway, this song is the final track on Hospital Handshakes(2015) I loved it and wanted to play it, but I couldn't find the chords. With respect to capo G 330023 Am 012200 C 010230 E 000220
D    232000
B/C  010020 (Where this exists, you are walking down from C to Am) I don't know how to annotate this.
F#/D 232002 A combination of strumming and finger picking. There are various hammer ons and pull offs. You need to listen for these. Intro with Harmonica(His harmonica is in C) C E
   G                     Am
My name is inmate number 30268

      C              G
and I decided not to stay

  E                         D    
I doubt they’ll kick up any dust or roadblocks

       C   B/C        Am
for an old crook like me

      G                Am
I was in the path of a tornado

       C                 G
I just didn’t expect the spinning

      E                  D
would last as long as it has you know,

     C    B/C   Am           D
so I keep repeating.  I just keep repeating
[Chorus]
G    F#/D            E      C  B/C              Am        
      There’s always hope.  No good thing ever dies.

    D                 E                     C  B/C  Am
The river is carrying each one of us to the fi—nish line.

One day we’ll be on the other side.

          G               Am
These are not the chosen themes.

C                                       G
  These are the themes that have chosen me.

        E              D
and I’m writing for my life 

                C           B/C            Am
It’s a terrible thing to be afraid all the time

         G                          Am
When you reach the point of a death wish.

    C               G
The feeling that anything 

    E            D
has got to be better than this, 

          C    B/C  Am          D
then just keep repeating.  just go on repeating
[Chorus]
G    F#/D            E      C  B/C             Am        
      There’s always hope.  No good thing ever dies.

       D              E                     C  B/C  Am
The river is carrying each one of us to the fi—nish line.

    D                         E    C    B/C  Am
One day we’ll be on the other side.

    D                         G
One day we’ll be on the other side.
