Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Lovett plays this song fingerstyle, with a capo on fret 9! These chords are relative to the capo. If you
don't want to use a capo, you can play it in standard tuning (G becomes E, C becomes A, and D becomes B).
G
I wear grandmother's ring
C G
On my finger
C G
On my finger
D G
She had a tooth of gold
G
And just before she died
G
She said son
C G C
You can have my tooth, but
G D G
Do I really have to go
C G
Look around
C G
And you will see
G D G
This world is full of creeps like me
C G
You look surprised
C G
You shouldn't be
G D G
This world is full of creeps like me
And I keep my uncle Leon
In my closet
In my closet
There don't nobody know
Just me and uncle Leon
And my closet
And they wonder
Where'd that old man go
Look around and you will see
This world is full of creeps like me
You look surprised
You shouldn't be
This world is full of creeps like me
And I knew this pretty girl once
She was eighteen
Maybe
What's a year or two
And one day when she asked me
If I loved her
I said baby
What's it worth to you
But look around
And you will see
This world is full of creeps like me
You look surprised
You shouldn't be
This world is full of creeps like me
And I wear grandmother's ring
On my finger
On my finger
She had a tooth of gold
She had a tooth of gold
She had a tooth of gold
