Mandolin Orange - That Wrecking Ball
A few notes about this song:
The 'G' is actually a Dsus4/Gsus2 but becomes a G at the end of the walk-down. The Dadd9 and D/F# are
fairly interchangeable, but the D/F# is only played at the very beginning and the end. The Em can be an Em7
if you wish. Dadd9 can also be played as Dsus4/F#. You may also lift your 3rd and 4th fingers off during the
C/G for a beat between verses, making it an Am7. There are walk-downs from G to C/G and from Em to G which
are played every time this transition occurs and are as follows:
Gsus2(G) into C/G Em[7] into Gsus2(G) -3---------0------------ -(3)--------3------------------------ -3---------1------------ -(3)--------3------------------------ -0---------0------------ --0---------0------------------------ -0---------2------------ --2---------0------------------------ -0--0--2---3------------ --2---0--0--0------------------------ -3---------3------------ --0---0--2--3------------------------
You should still be strumming through the full chords during these transitions, but those are the notes you
should be hitting along the way. I recommend watching this video if you don't understand what is happening
I will add chord charts for the less common chords at the bottom of this page.
Capo 5
C/G D/F# G C/G Em G C/G
C/G D/F# I've taken to leanin' these past few days G C/G A little too heavy on my walking cane Em G And I'm afraid she's swingin' my way C/G That wrecking ball
(Am7 - every verse)
C/G Dadd9 Now with all my ducks in a row G C/G With one pull I could let her go Em G Not to lose, just to show Cadd9 I'd catch em all C/G Dadd9 Every man bears a burden, his own beast by the horns G C/G That he hides from the world when hes young and strong Em G Looking over his shoulders, half tethered and torn C/G Still standing tall C/G Dadd9 And every year rolls on like a runaway train G C/G Every beast grows stronger as the pendulum swings Em G To and fro, gone she goes C/G That wrecking ball
C/G Dadd9 G C/G Em G C/G
C/G Dadd9add11/A G C/G Em G C/G
C/G Dadd9 I've just seen that rock of ages G Cadd9 I just held my saviors hand Em G We danced on the water, my head on her shoulders C/G She swore to never let me fall C/G Dadd9 And wouldn't time seem so kindly G C/G If every bright eyed girl could be Em G More like you, and shelter me C/G Am From that wrecking ball Am D/F# That wrecking ball
C/G Dadd9add11/A G C/G Em G C/G
Slow it down a bit at the end and let the C/G ring out. Hopefully this wasn't too confusing. I transcribed
the lyrics myself, so they may be a little off in some places. Here are the chord charts:
