The guitar part is mostly chords, but you can add some twiddles using the high strings – think the high notes are played by a mandolin on the album. The strumming is pretty and you ought to be able to figure it out by hearing it once. It switches between two AmGFEGAm, and AmFGE.
AmGFE Yeah oh yeah you seen me walk GAm On burning bridges AmGFE Yeah oh yeah you seen me fall GAm In love with witches AmGFE And you know my head is held GAm Inside by stitches AmGFE Yet you know I did survive GAm All of your lovely sieges
[Pre-Chorus]
AmF And you know that I'll pick up G Every time you call E Just to thank you one more time
[Chorus]
GAm (anytime Eugene sings the word “alcohol” in the song, it falls on these chords) Alcohol AmGFEGAm Alcohol AmGFEGAm Alcohol
[Pre-Chorus]
AmF And you know that I'll survive G Every time you come E Just to thank you one more time For everything you've done
