Jenny Lewis - "Silver Lining"
(transcribed by Josh Alder)
This is how Jenny has played this song acoustically during her solo shows.
I transcribed this after watching her play it live at the Roseland Theater
in Portland, Oregon, on May 30, 2009. Note the capo on the first fret.

G Em
And I'm not going back
G Em
Into rags or in the hole
G Em
And our bruises are coming
C G
But we will never fold
G Em
And I was your silver lining
G Em
As the story goes
G Em
I was your silver lining
C G
But now I'm gold
Am Em
Hooray hooray
C G
I'm your silver lining
Am Em
Hooray hooray
C G
But now I'm gold
G Em
And I was your silver lining
G Em
High up on my toes
G Em
You were running through fields of hitch-hikers
C G
As the story goes
Am Em
Hooray hooray
C G
I'm your silver lining
Am Em
Hooray hooray
C G
But now I'm gold
Am Em
Hooray hooray

I'm your silver lining
Am Em
Hooray hooray
C G
But now I'm gold

G Em
And the grass it was a ticking
G Em
And the sun was on the rise
G Em
I never felt so wicked
C G
As when I willed our love to die
G Em
And I was your silver lining
G Em
As the story goes
G Em
I was your silver lining
C G
But now I'm gold
Am Em
Hooray hooray
C G
I'm your silver lining

But now I'm gold

But now I'm gold
