Chords

[Chords] I've always found Brian to use a lot of obscure combinations/variations of chords in his work, his acoustic songs especially, so bear with me on some of the following Am - x02230 G6* - 320010 Fma7 - xx3210 C - x32010 Fma7/C - x33210 G7 - 320031 Cma7 - x2x010 Gadd11* - 320013
* - G6 and Gadd11 are interchangeable throughout most of the song, Brian seems to use the G6 mostly for the
   intro, bridge, and verses, while using the Gadd11 for the chorus and outro
[Intro] Am G6 Fma7 C Am G6 Fma7* Fma7/C Am G6 Fma7 C Am G6 Fma7 C * - Instead of playing the the Fma7, Brian hammers onto the third string second fret, pulls off and then goes directly to the Fma7/C
Am  G6   Fma7  C
Ooo Oooo Ooo   Oooo

Am  G6  Fma7   C
Ooo Oooo Ooo   Oooo

Am  G6   Fma7  C
Ooo Oooo Ooo   Oooo

Am  G6   Fma7  C
Ooo Oooo Ooo   Oooo
[Verse 1]
Am              G6      Fma7            C
President Street, where you'll find the sisters

Am      G6   Fma7      C
praying over my city's heart.

     Am          G6     Fma7         C
While Union Avenue they turn to their disciples

Am           G6            Fma7       C
who feels the pressure heat coming on hard.
G7 [Chorus 1]
      C       Cma7          Am                  Fma7/C
And if all was well and your heart could find the words.

  C            Cma7         Am              Fma7/C
Would we be for better baby, would we be for worse?

   C          Cma7          Am         Fma7/C
And if there was a way to navigate your seas.

   C                  Gadd11
And if tonight, my true love dared belong to me.
Am G6 Fma7 C Am G6 Fma7 C [Verse 2]
           Am   G6      Fma7           C
Now my old Juliet, she's smoking by the window,

     Am        G6       Fma7           C
saying stone-cold: "I believe in you, Romeo".

       Am                 G6         Fma7                   C
And the raindrops and the cars keep on falling from off the bars

Am                G6        Fma7             C
blocking out some good song playing on the radio.
G7 [Chorus 2]
      C       Cma7          Am                  Fma7/C
And if all was well and your heart could find the words.

  C            Cma7         Am              Fma7/C
Would we be for better baby, would we be for worse?

   C          Cma7          Am         Fma7/C
And if there was a way to navigate your seas.

   C                  Gadd11
And if tonight, my true love dared belong to me.
Am G6 Fma7 C [Bridge]
               Am            Fma7/C         C                       G6
Well, I've been down, I've been out, had my head and my heart kicked around.

         Am             Fma7            C                         G6
I've been down, I've been out, had this head and this heart kicked around.

          Am          Fma7/C        C              G6
But in the quiet in the night where Romeo's mind is burning,

Am          Fma7        C   Gadd11     Fmaj7/C      Gadd11
from putting all of his blood into them sermons...

Gadd11
And the blood saying,

Am   G6   Fma7  C
Ooo  Oooo  Ooo  Oooo

Am   G6   Fma7  C
Ooo  Oooo  Ooo  Oooo
G7 [Chorus 3]
      C       Cma7          Am                  Fma7/C
So if all was well and your heart could find the words.

  C            Cma7         Am              Fma7/C
Would we be for better baby, would we be for worse?

   C          Cma7          Am         Fma7/C
And if there was a way to navigate them seas.

C                  Gadd11
If tonight, my true love
[Outro]
         Am       G6     Fma7    C
So do you miss her, right now?

          Am       G6     Fma7    C
And do you miss her, right now?

          Am       G6     Fma7    C
And do you miss her, right now?

          Am       G6     Fma7*    C*
And do you miss her, right now?
