Chords
In the verses and the choruses:
D alternates usually with Gmaj9
F# alternates usually with F#7
Listen to the track for pattern, the chords alternate only by taking the
index finger off the frets. It's fairly straightforward. I wrote the song
down with the chords in fixed places so you could get a feeling of how the
lyrics are phrased, hope it helps.
[Intro]
D Gmaj9 F# F#7 x2
[Verse]
D F# I'm down at the bowery, oh Lord oh Lord, gonna tell you how I got here D F# First I gotta shoot some dice and win so I can get my room again D F# It all started with a love so true and the angels flew higher than I'd ever been D F# With a sparkle in her face and her eyes and the butterflies it all came rushing in
[Chorus]
Bm A D Buttercup, I lost my wife in '73 Bm A D She took ill, she done died on me F# And I've got nothing more to live for
[Verse]
D F# So I packed up a bag and went, I just started wandering D F# I hid in the booze and the shadows of the night, I just started crumbling
[Chorus]
Bm A D Buttercup, I lost my wife in '73 Bm A D She took ill, she done died on me F# And I've got nothing more to live for
[Break]
D F# Oh, it just dont seem fair D F# I met her under a chandelier D F# And time and space changed from there
[Chorus]
Bm A D Buttercup, I lost my wife in '73 Bm A D She took ill, she done died on me Bm A D Buttercup, I lost my wife in '73 Bm A D She took ill, she done died on me
[Outro]
F# And I've got nothing more to live for F# (no F#7) G (barred) And I've got nothing more to live for
