And it hurts to care, so I won't now
*that last D is a single strum, letting it fade.
[PART 2]
Now comes a strum verse where you play A7 and D, but you put your middle finger on and of, making a transition
from A7 to A and from Dsus2 to D, like this:
(A7 to A) (Dsus2 to D)
e|-----------------------|-0h2--2-2-2--2-2-0-2-2-|
B|-2---2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-3----3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-|
G|-0h2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-2----2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-|
D|-2---2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2--|-0----0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-|
A|-0---0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|-----------------------|
This strum is not complete, it's just so you can get a notion. Try to listen this part of the song to get the
rhythm. Nothing too complex.
AForgot my woman, lost my friends
DThings I'd done and where I've been
ASleep in sweat the mirrors cold
DSee my face it's growin' old
AScared to death no reason why
DDo whatever to get me by
AThink about the things I said
DRead the page it's cold and dead
Take me Ahome
Yeah, take me Dhome
Take me Ahome
Take me Dhome, yeah
Take me Ahome
[CODA]
play the chorus once
A7 G5 A7 Say goodbye, don't Dfollow
(And let the D strum fade away)
