Chords
The song itself sounds like it was played with a ukulele, so the chords may not be
completely accurate. If you strum only the bottom three strings, it should sound good
enough to sound like the song.
If you prefer, I think doing the C#m chord will be more comfortable like this, since it's
so high up on the fretboard:
___________
| | | | | | 4th fret
| | | | | 1
| | | | 2 |
| | | 3 | |
| | | | | |
I'm not that good at marking the strum pattern, but it should be something like this:
Just the beginning of the song:
Em C Em G ----↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--
The rest of the song:
Em C Em G --↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--
Justified Black Eye (A Tribute to Tony Sly) - Simple Plan
Em C Em G
Em C Em G
Em C Em G She was confused and abused in this life Em C Emotional and violent moments Em G Seemed to take the longest time Em C Em G Every single knockout, drag-out fight they ever had Em C He starts to laugh, he starts to lie Em G With suddenly psychotic eyes C#m G Em Em Every night she cried herself to sleep, she didn't recognize C#m G Em Em Her own face in the mirror black and blue C#m G Em Em So afraid, intimidation, like a child she hides away C#m G Em Em He would always try to justify - what wasn't true C Em G O-oh Em C Em G Justified black eye Em C Em G Taken for granted, she sleeps by the phone Em C Waiting for a call from him Em G But it seems he's never comin' home Em C Em G 14 beers later, he is there without an answer Em C Once again, she questions his lies Em G He goes to bed with no reply C#m G Tomorrow morning, different story Em Em And he'll be a different guy C#m G Em Em He'll justify her black eye with another lie C#m G Em Em She packs her bags in great temptation, he's on his knees again he cries C#m G A hug-and-a-kiss and I don't know why Em Em As a tear drops from her swollen eye Em Apologies until tonight and, then another - justified black eye Em C C#m G O-oh Em C C#m G Justified black eye Em C C#m G Justified black eye
(Either C#m or G works fine by my ear, I couldn't figure out which one it was at the end.)
