I fell in love with this song, but couldn't find the chords. So I watched her
playing in live, and did my best to figure out what she was playing. This is my
first time, so if anyone has corrections let me know!
Capo 5
The pattern is plucking the strings: a d g b g d a (x2 for each chord)
She also adds in an open d string, then hammer on to it at the end of the pattern
when she plays C.
Am C
Never play by the stairs, you’re bound to fall down,
Am C
Never play by the hillside, might slip and break your crown
Am C
Never play by the fire, it’s a danger to your health
Am C
Never play by the wall, might fall and break yourself.
Am
Ah Ah Ah,
C
Ah Ahhh,
Am
Ahhhhh,
C
Ah Ahh…
Am C
Never play by the river, you might tumble in and drown,
Am C
Never play by the field, get filthy, dirty and brown,
Am C
Never play by yourself, it’s a danger to be alone,
Am C
Never stray too far away, it’s not safe outside of home.
Am
Ah Ah Ah,
C
Ah Ahhh,
Am
Ahhhhh,
C
Ah Ahh…
Am C
I didn’t ask to be born,
Am C
And I don’t think I’ll ask to die.
Am C
I didn’t ask for the ground beneath my feet, I
Am C
Didn’t ask for the sky.
Am C
All that I ask, my darling,
Am C
All that I really ask of you,
Am C
All that I ask, my darling,
Am C
Is that you stay here with me.
