The whole song, is based on A (bare on 2th fret) and D (barre) chords. Then to do the magic, you just need to
play around with your pinky finger, hammmering at the G string on the 4th fret.
Observations:
To change from A to D chord, he will make an slide till the 5th fret.
At the 5th fret, often he puts his pinky finger at the E string on the 7th fret.
A different variation on the A chord you can do is: hammer on the G string at the 4th fret, and then hammer
on the D string at the 4th fret, this will require you to feel the song. :)
[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A
It’s a lonely walk
With a road like that my girl
D A
You ain’t seen no love since that man walked out your door
A
Harder, still
You think you can’t tell no one
D
You God died back in ‘94
A
With a needle, with a needle and a gun
A
Caught your leg on a branch from a willow tree
D
You got blood in your eyes, girl
Thought I heard you screaming—
A
That man took every part of me
D
I lost my will along the highway—marker 54
She said “oh, they don’t make men like that no more”
A
Honey, they sure don’t
A
Set yourself on fire so high so high
D
I could feel your heart was speeding
A
Did you love me or was it the drugs?
D
I could feel your heart was speeding
A
Did you love me or was it the drugs?
[Outro]
And the life we’re living now will surely bury me
