Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: Glenn Gervais (rabidGadfly) Zac Brown's version of a Wood Brothers' song. Straightforward chords on this one. Your choice whether you want to play or mute the A and E strings on the F. I think they sound good played in the verses.

[Build Slowly] Am ( 3 measures ) Am C F C Am C F C [Verse]
     Am         C            F          C
As I sit on the edge of this never made bed

       Am        C         F          C
Old guitar in my lap a new tune in my head

          Am            C            F            C
There she stands in the doorway just brushin' her hair

        Am        C           F    C
It's my beautiful muse in her underwear
[Chorus]
    F        C               F              C                  F
And if I was thinking I'd be thinking thank God... whoever you are

        Am       G           F    C
For the muse and this old guitar

     F         C        F            C
It’s times like these so sweet and so true

F              C               G         Am   C    F    C
Thinking's the last thing that you wanna do
Am C F C [Verse]
     Am         C           F         C
As I sit on the end of this dirty old bar

          Am               C           F           C
Tryin' to work some things out and not gettin' too far

      Am            C               F          C
And I drown out the voices that are keepin' me down

          Am        C           F             C
There's a muse all alone on the other side of town
[Chorus]
    F        C               F              C                  F
And if I was thinking I'd be thinking thank God... whoever you are

            Am              G         F    C
For all the whiskey in this dirty old bar

F         C        F          C
Times like these so sad but so true

F              C               G         Am
Thinking's the last thing that you wanna do

      F              C              G          Am-
Yeah, thinking's the last thing that you wanna do
[Break] -Am ( 3 measures ) Am C F C Am C F Am7 G C [Verse]
     Am         C           F        C
As I sit on the bed in this hospital room

Am         C            F         C
Sheddin' a tear for the bride and groom

        Am      C               F          C
And the tiniest voice starts to bellow and cry

        Am          C        F            C
It's my finest work yet if today I should die
[Chorus]
    F        C               F              C    G
And if I was thinking I'd be thinking thank Go---d

        Am           G             F          C
For the muse and the miracle right here in my arms

F          C        F            C
Times like these so sweet and so true

F              C               G         Am
Thinking's the last thing that you wanna do

      F              C               G         Am
Yeah, thinking's the last thing that you wanna do

      F              C               G         Am
Yeah, thinking's the last thing that you wanna do
