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
