This is my first tab/chord, the other ones on here didn't sound right so I made my own.
It's a half step down, like most of The Wonder Years songs.
Verse:
D We wiped out all the Buffalo Bm Around the turn of the last century, G And so it's factories and sawgrass, A Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me. D The Midwest feels like a hollow place Bm That we filled with love and industry. G And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits, A Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.
Prechorus(play chords arpegiated):
D A Bm A G Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything. A Let me be. Chorus: D G Two blackbirds on a highway sign Bm A Are laughing at me at four in the morning. D G They played the war drum out of time Bm A So I'm not sure where I've been marching. Bm D I wanna be strong, G But it's not easy anymore. D A G I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Verse 2:
D It's sixteen hours straight to home Bm From the heart of North Missouri, G And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs A For the devil in my bloodstream. D Depression grabbed his throat Bm And choked the life out of him slowly. G I've got the same blood coursing through my veins A And it'll come for me eventually.
Prechorus 2:
D I bet I'd be a fucking coward. Bm I bet I'd never have the guts for war, G 'Cause I can't spend another month away from here. A These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore. D A Bm A G But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home. A So let me know. D G Two blackbirds on a highway sign Bm A Are laughing at me at four in the morning. D G They played the war drum out of time Bm A So I'm not sure where I've been marching. Bm D I wanna be strong, G But it's not easy anymore. D A G I'm hoping I'm wrong.
(palm muted G powerchord)
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Bridge:
D A I know how it feels to be G At war with a world
That never loved me.
D A I know how it feels to be G At war with a world
That never loved me.
Chorus 3:
D G Two blackbirds on a highway sign Bm A Are laughing at me at four in the morning. D G They played the war drum out of time Bm A So I'm not sure where I've been marching. Bm D G I wanna be strong. D A I wanna be strong G But it's not easy anymore.
