This piece by Micah P. Hinson feels like a gut punch, it's so damn sad and beauitful.
Yet the whole song is just four chords:
G - C - G - D
- Basic 6/8 picking style, think Nothing Else Matters.
- Advanced: double the bass of the first 2 chords with the third (for G it's B, for C it's E).
Play along with the original once and you're set.
The song speeds up in tempo as it goes along, and then slows down again.
Enjoy! Here are the lyrics with the chords so it's simpler:
[Intro]
G C G D x 2
[Verse 1]
G C
There I go, to my wishing well
G D
Praying for wisdom, making use of myself
G C
There I go, to my wishing well
C D
Lookin' for true love, watching misery make my bed
[Verse 2]
G C
There I go - throwing stones again
G D
There'll be no more mystery, about the scars that I weigh
G C
There I go, to my wishing well,
G D
The place with no heartache, where else shall I dwell?
G
There she comes
[Interlude]
Short interlude where a second guitar comes in, someone could tab those parts
but it's pretty basic. Just play around the G and C a bit and you'll get it
[Verse 3]
G C
There I go, to my wishing well
G D
Yelling 'Father, forgive me!' but seeing silence itself
G C
There I go, down my wishing well
G D
Tell the world that I'm sorry, I will think of them in spells
[Verse 4]
G C
There I go, to my wishing well
G D
Sorrow just seething through the ringing of the bells
G C
There's one for me, yes there's one for you
G D
There'll be no more sorrow, how mighty of us to choose
