Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The finger picked version shown neatly on the tabs here on UG is the best way to play this song, but here's chords for those that like them.
After the Dsus2 the finger picking hits a C# note on the A string before going to a Cmaj7 pattern, effectively a slow stepping between chords. So that's a Dsus2 with that C# note added which has several names, Dsus2/C# makes most sense here.
The lyrics I'm almost certain of except for "Safely unwounded". Hope doesn't make it easy!
Standard tuning, no capo.

Dsus2Dsus2/C#Cmaj7 When I look out the door Dsus2Dsus2/C#Cmaj7 And know what it's there for Dsus2Dsus2/C#Cmaj7 To leave or to come back Dsus2Dsus2/C#Cmaj7 Safe in the morning
