Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb (half-step down)
This is not a hard song at all, if you listen to it carefully.
Jerry plays it finger-style, but you can use a pick if you will
PART 1 - INTRO
The chords:
D D/F# G6 A7
e-2| e-2| e-0| e-0|
B-3| B-3| B-3| B-2|

D D/F# G6 A7
Hey, I ain't never coming
D D/F# G6 A7
Home
D D/F# G6 A7
Hey, I'll just wander my own
D D/F# G6 A7
road
D D/F# G6 A7 D D/F# G6
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
CHORUS
In the chorus you basically play A7 normally, then an extension which is G5 and A7 (twice each one) like this:
G5 (G5) (A7)
e-3| e|-----------3-------|-----------3-------|-----------------|-----------------|
B-3| B|----3--------3-----|----3--------3-----|-32-------2-----|---2-------2-----|

A--| A|-------------------|-------------------|-0-------0-------|-0-------0-------|
E-3| E|-3-----------------|-3-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A7 G5 A7 D
Say goodbye don't follow. Misery so hollow
D D/F# G6 A7 D D/F# G6 A7
Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle
D D/F# G6 A7 D D/F# G6 A7
Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah
D D/F# G6 A7 D D/F# G6
Hey you, you can't shake me round now
A7
I get so lost and don't
G5 A7
Know how
D *
And it hurts to care, so I won't now
*that last D is a single strum, letting it fade.
PART 2
Now comes a strum verse where you play A7 and D, but you put your middle finger on and of, making a transition
from A7 to A and from Dsus2 to D, like this:
(A7 to A) (Dsus2 to D)
e|-----------------------|-0h2--2-2-2--2-2-0-2-2-|
B|-2---2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-3----3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-|
G|-0h2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-2----2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-|
D|-2---2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-0----0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-|
A|-0---0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|-----------------------|
This strum is not complete, it's just so you can get a notion. Try to listen this part of the song to get the
rhythm. Nothing too complex.
A
Forgot my woman, lost my friends
D
Things I'd done and where I've been
A
Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold
D
See my face it's growin' old
A
Scared to death no reason why
D
Do whatever to get me by
A
Think about the things I said
D
Read the page it's cold and dead
A
Take me home
D
Yeah, take me home
A
Take me home
D
Take me home, yeah
A
Take me home
OUTRO
play the chorus once
A7 G5 A7 D
Say goodbye, don't follow
And let the D strum fade away
