Hi there, this song is one of my favorite Travis b-side and I'be done a cover of this
song on my youtube channel, if you search "the ballad of J smith cover", you might
find it!
that it's more comfortable for me to sing, and you might just switch the capo to any
fret you want.
The intro start with Em
Em C He watched the shadows D G On the walls of his room Em C D (use your pinkie to tap on the third fret of first string)
And the silence will speak too soon
Em C And he held her tightly D G So tight he could tell Em C D He knew the feeling so well Em C He said "Pretty baby will you marry me?" G B7 She said "You'd look shit upon my family tree" Em C G B7 And that's when he realised he'd have to start again Em C And just when you think you've got it figured out G B7 They light seven candles and you're blowing them out Em C G B7 You know that you're going to have to light them all again Em C D G You see her turning night into day Em C D And the broken television display Em C And I know you're hurting D G But tonight I can pray Em C D Cos you've got to think for yourself D G Lie down everyone B7 Em Close your eyes and look for the sun D G Even they don't know where it's gone Em C D G Reminiscing of days when you knew that you belong Em C He said "Pretty baby will you marry me?" G B7 She said "You'd look shit upon my family tree" Em C G B7 And that's when he realised he'd have to start again Em C And just when you think you've got it figured out G B7 They light seven candles and you're blowing them out Em C G B7 You know that you're going to have to light them all again
