This song starts on the chorus and the intro picking pattern is played through it, except you leave out the little slide on the A chord for each chorus. At the end of each chorus, the A is strummed instead of picked, to lead into the Am at the start of the verse. It's strummed like this:

              A                           Am
e|...---------0---0--0-0--0-0---0--0-0--0-0--...
B|...---------2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-1--...
G|...-----0---2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2--etc.
D|...---0---0-2---2--2-2--2-0h2-2--2-2--2-2--...

> When you're playing the G on the third line, only hit the top 3 or 4 strings like before; and there's a little picked bit in it like this:

       G                               C

> In every verse except the first one, hold the Am at the beginning of the first line for one extra bar. > In the last verse, there's a picked bit on the C at the start of the third line like this:

     D                    C

> On the very last line ('Home sweet home') strum the chords instead of picking them. Well enough talk, here's the song: Intro Chorus 1 (picked): D G You've got her in your pocket C Em7 A And there's no way out now D G Put it in the safe and lock it C Em7 A(strummed) 'cause it's home sweet home Verse 1: Am G D Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way Am G D To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way C G And you'll be there if she ever feels blue C F And you'll be there when she finds someone new A D (picked to begin chorus) What to do, Well you know Chorus 2 (picked): D G You keep her in your pocket C Em7 A Where there's no way out now D G Put it in the safe and lock it C Em7 A 'cause it's home sweet home Verse 2: Am G D The smile on your face made her think she had the right one Am G D Then she thought she was sure by the way you two could have fun C G But now she might leave like she's threatened before C F Grab hold of her fast before her feet leave the floor A And she's out the door D (picked to begin chorus) 'cause you want Chorus 3 (picked): D G To keep her in your pocket C Em7 A Where there's no way out now D G Put it in the safe and lock it C Em7 A 'cause it's home sweet home Verse 3: Am G D And in your own mind you know you're lucky just to know her Am G D And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her C G But now you're scared you think she's running away C F You search in your head for something clever to say A Don't go away D (picked to begin chorus) 'cause I want Chorus 4 (picked): D G To keep you in my pocket C Em7 A Where there's no way out now D G Put it in the safe and lock it C Em7 A 'cause it's home sweet home C Em7 A Home sweet home | / slide up | h hammer-on | v strum down | ^ strum up =============================================================================
