This is how Anders plays the song live in this video on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN2IzQ6DgmI Capo 3 [Intro] Am G Em F F x2 (there are some hammer on’s happening during the Am and G…hitting the A string 3rd fret and then the B string 1st fret. Listen to the song to get the rythem and notes right. Its kind of a C sound) [Verse 1] (slower tempo)
AmThe waters white, Gthe air is thin EmThe mood is envy, Fit’s in everything AmThe ground is cold, Gthe tree is young EmThe blade is heavy, Fbut you still swing FYou still swing…
[Chorus] F C C (hammer down on the G string) I’m not going back to the old country
FAnd I know that you don’t want Amme G AmThe past is yellow GThe heart is blue EmYou try to break me FBut I conquer you……cFonquer you.
[Interlude] (up tempo) Am G Em F F riff [Verse 2] (up tempo)
AmI was little, Gbut I was great EmYou were the church, Fthat abused my faith AmI never prayed, Gdown on my knees EmI faced my judgment, Fstanding on my feet… FOn my feet.
[Chorus] F C C (hammer down on the G string) I’m not going back to the old country
Fknowing you don’t want Amme G AmThe past is yellow GThe heart is blue EmYou try to break me FBut I conquer you……coFnquer you.
