Original's good. This is the same chords,
but I prefer doing them this way for hammers/pulls/slides/walks,
just wanted to share...
(just capo a whole step up (2nd fret) and change all chords to whole step down, as shown below).
Play around with, well, all of these. I particularly like hammeers with my middle finger for Am and C,
and walks up and down for the C, and where F and C connect. Arpeggiate/strum as you see fit.
CAPO-2
[Intro]
Cx 4 bars
[Verse 1]
IfAm I could kill a word and watch it die
I'dC poison "never," shoot "goodbye"
AnAmd beat "regret" when I felt I had theC nerve
YeahAm, I'd pound "fear" to a pile of sand
Choke C"lonely" out with my bare hands
andAm I'd hang "hate" so that it can't beC heard
IfAm I couldF only kill a word C
AmI'd take "brokeness" out back
andC break "heartbreak," stand there and laugh
RightAm in its face while shootin' it the bird C
I'dAm put "upset" down in its place
I'dC squeeze the life out of "disgrace"
LayAm "over" under six cold feet of dirt C
IfAm I couldF only kill a word C
[Chorus]
Give me sticksAm, give me stones
Bend myF body, break my bones
UseC staff and rod to turn me black andG blue
'Cause yoAmu can't unhear, you can't unsay
But ifF it were up to me to change
CI'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth" G
IfAm I couldF only kill a word C
[Verse 2]
AmI'd knock out "temptation"'s teeth
I'dC sever "evil," let it bleed
TheAmn light up "wicked," stand and watch it burn C
AmI'd take "vice" and I'd take "vile"
CTie 'em up there with "hostile"
AmHang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds C
IfAm I couldF only kill a word C
[Chorus]
So give me sticksAm, give me stones
Bend myF body, break my bones
UseC staff and rod to turn me black andG blue
'Cause youAm can't unhear, you can't unsay
But ifF it were up to me to change
CI'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth" G
IfAm I couldF only kill a word C
IfAm I couldF only --- kill a word C
