Chords

From "Wildflowers"(1994) Played on a 12 string acoustic guitar. Note the strumming pattern with up- and downstrokes as this strongly determines the sound! A*: 577655 [Intro] E Asus2 D Asus2 E Asus2 D D [Verse 1]
E        Asus2    D      Asus2
We gotta get to a higher place

E      Asus2       D        D
And we gotta leave by night

E           Asus2 D        Asus2
Before that river takes us down

E        Asus2           D         D
We gotta find  somewhere that's dry

E        Asus2    D           Asus2
We gotta run like we've never run,

E              Asus2    D         D
Or we're gonna lose the light

E           Asus2    D      Asus2
If we don't get to a higher place and

E            Asus2        D          Asus2
Well, I fool myself and I don't know why

E         Asus2         D         D
I thought we could ride this out

E            Asus2        D     Asus2
I was up all night making up my mind

E         Asus2  D         D
But now I got my doubts...

E        Asus2      D     Asus2
I got my eye on the water-line

E         Asus2   D        D
Trying to keep my sense of humor

E         Asus2          D      Asus2
But if we don't get to a higher place and

We gotta get to a higher place
And I hope we all arrive together

We gotta get to a higher place
If we wanna survive... the weather! [Interlude] E Asus2 D Asus2 E Asus2 D D [Verse 3]
E          Asus2        D      Asus2
I remember walking with her in town,

E        Asus2  D   D
Her hair was in the wind

E      Asus2  D    Asus2
I gave her my best kiss

E   Asus2   D    D
She gave it back again

E                Asus2        D    Asus2
Yeah, when I add up what I've left behind

E       Asus2   D       D
I don't want to lose no more.
