Chords

by Toad the Wet Sprocket off the "Bread and Circus" CD contributed by Ryan Houlette [Intro] D Em7 G (x2) (When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string) [Verse 1]
D                 Em7       G
Line of people to pass you by,

       D                   Em7        G
Posing sympathy with their whitewash eyes

D                     Em7       G
Ladies feigning their mourning cries

        D                 Em7       G
And the men shaking hands
[Chorus]
A      G
Weigh  Away

A   G
Way away

G       C                D/F#
All the pictures in your mind

          G           D         Cadd9
As you're passed the thousandth time

           Cadd9
Thousandth photograph
[Verse 2]
D               Em7    G
Listen to sympathetic lies

         D                    Em7       G
As their reasons change under mourning guise

         D                  Em7       G
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs

    D                   Em7     G
And drinking champagne
[Chorus]
A     G
Weigh Away

A   G
Way away

G          C               D/F#
As all the people pass and pose

         G        D         Cadd9
You hold back the tears and hold

     Cadd9
On to memories
[Verse 3]
D                       Em7    G
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud

       D                Em7        G
Saying nothing real but deafening loud

   D                Em7       G
An urge to run away from the crowd

    D               Em7       G
And mourn all alone

D                 Em7 G
Make a promise to no-one

D                  Em7        G
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile

D                  Em7  G
Turn away from the chatter

        D             Em7  G
And the hungry smiles
