Love this song and I think this is pretty accurate. I was able to figure out most of it
from a video I saw of him playing at a radio show. It's not quite the same without piano
but it works.
When playing the Aadd9 try not to strum the high E and B strings, doesn't do much for
the song. Hope you can use it, and please correct if you find something I missed.
E
Our separation seems forever
Aadd9
I'll do it if it's what you like.
E
Go take your bags to New York City
B
call me when your plane arrives.
E
I'll feed the children wash the dishes.
Aadd9
I'll keep the house lookin' nice.
E B Aadd9 E
Well don't you worry now everything's gonna be alright.
E
It's been snowin' this October
Aadd9
turning grass into grain.
E
Do you see much past your hotel window
B
Friday nights with your gang?
E
I can only hope that things were different.
Aadd9
Darlin' do you feel the same
E B Aadd9 E
every time you're drinkin' wine in the rain?
Aadd9 Am
Ooh, Ooh
E G#m(barre) A(barre) E
All you said you've seen is my face in a magazine
Aadd9 E B
my hair slicked back and clean or so it seemed.
E G#m(barre) A(barre) E
Now anyone can say that a man shouldn't live this way
Aadd9 E B
so take your pretty poison right to the grave. We'll never change.
Bridge:
Hit these one strum each
C#m B Aadd9 G#m F#m E
F#m G#m Aadd9 B
E
I sold our house the 3rd of December
Aadd9
we're livin' where our feet done land.
E
The babies screams they might get to heaven
B
but they're buried far 'neath the sand.
E
All I know's my mind's done thinking
Aadd9
my mouth's doin' what it can
E B Aadd9 E
to keep the rhythm and put a nickel back in your hand.
Aadd9 Am
Ooh, ooh
E G#m(barre) A(barre) E
All you said you've seen is my face in a magazine
Aadd9 E B
my hair slicked back and clean or so it seemed.
E G#m(barre) A(barre) E
Now anyone can say that a man shouldn't live this way
Aadd9 E
so take your pretty poison right to the grave.
Aadd9 E
We're dancing naked out in the rain.
Aadd9 E
Put your own pen to the page
B E
We'll never change.
