Chords

Here's my shot at "Say Goodbye" by Sanctus Real, from their "Fight the Tide" album. The strum pattern is pretty weird, so I'm not bothering with that. Their guitar is tuned to D Standard (NOT Drop D), so it won't sound right on the D string on the 2nd fret. The chord-change timing varies in the intro and verses, as well. First half of intro,chord changes happen on about the first and fourth beats; second half of intro, chord changes happen on first and third beats. Listen to the song and I think you'll catch it. Four harmonic plucks on 5th fret, then: Intro: C Fsus C Fsus Am Fsus Am Fsus Verse 1:
C                                 Fsus
 So say goodbye 'cause you'll be leaving soon

C                               Fsus
 I know it's hard, and I'll be missing you

Am               Fsus           C  Fsus
 I know it's time to say goodbye

C                     Fsus
 I know the road has worn you down

C                             Fsus
 You never broke; you always held your ground

Am                Fsus           C
 But now it's time to say goodbye
Prechorus:
F                        C
 I know we'll meet again, but I wish it'd never end

G                                       F                      C
You don't mean to make me cry...but it's so hard to say goodbye
Chorus:
         Am  G   C   F         Am  G   C   F
Say goodbyyy-yyy-yye; say goodbyyy-yyy-yye
Verse 2:
C                                 Fsus
 And though you're gone, I remember now

C                                    Fsus
 The time we shared; your words still ring out

Am                Fsus               C
 You're never far; you're in my heart
Prechorus:
F                        C
 I know we'll meet again, but I wish it'd never end

G                                       F                      C
You don't mean to make me cry...but it's so hard to say goodbye
Chorus:
         Am  G   C   F         Am  G   C   F
Say goodbyyy-yyy-yye; say goodbyyy-yyy-yye
Prechorus:
F                        C
 I know we'll meet again, but I wish it'd never end

G                                       F          
You don't mean to make me cry...but it's so hard...
End:
F                         Am
 Someday we'll meet again, 'cause that's how the story ends

G                        F
It's so hard to say goodbye

         C
Say goodbye
