Chords
Transcribed by DWdrummer67. You can use either an Em or an Em7 on this one. I use Em just
because I prefer the sound of that chord. BTW... the Cadd9 variation I use for this is basically a
G chord with your low E and A string fingers dropped down one string each. Don't assume that that the
initial variation that's described as you hover over the chord is right. Have fun. It's a great tune.
Also... there is only so much you can do with a strumming pattern, so it's missing the hammer-ons.
You should hear them as you listen to the song, and be able to make the necessary alterations, but
this pattern is close.
[Intro]
Cadd9 Em7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 A couple of pretty flowers, that's what I brought I to you Em7 I saw you through a broken window, with a different point of view Cadd9 You had signs of depression, from a long line of sin Em7 Cadd9 And your face tells a story, 'bout the places you have been, I love you so Em7 I thought you should know
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 And that muddy waters flowin', and as you take my hand Em7 Past the creek down by the holler, through your daddy's land Cadd9 And I could buy you a diamond, but I cannot change your world Em7 Cadd9 'Cause I ain't got no money, you'll never be my girl… no Em7 I thought you should know
[Break]
Cadd9 Em7
[Verse 3]
Cadd9 You was gonna be a singer, and a big movie star Em7 But you can't catch no breaks baby, and Hollywood is hard Cadd9 Now you work down at the Time Out, off 155 Em7 Cadd9 And you're dancing for your dollar, just tryin' to stay alive, it hurts me so Em7 I thought you should know
[Verse 4]
Cadd9 And you feed your addiction, with your crystal meth Em7 And I plea for your life, as it takes you to your death Cadd9 You make your deal with the devil, as your looks begin to fade Em7 Cadd9 I saw you laughin' through the tears, as you slowly slipped away, I watched you go Em7 Cadd9 Em I thought you should know… yeah I watched you go… I thought you should know
[Break]
Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 Em7
[Verse 5]
Cadd9 And that cold rain is pourin', as they lay you in a grave Em7 I can barely recognize you, in your fragile state Cadd9 No more signs of depression, from a long time ago Em7 Cadd9 I throw in a pretty flower, as they slowly laid you low, it was a rose Em7 Cadd9 Em7 I thought you should know… that it was a rose… I thought you should know
[Break]
Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 Em7
[Outro]
Cadd9 A couple of pretty flowers, that's what I brought to you Em7 Cadd9 Em I saw you through a broken window, with a different point of view…
