No capo in the original version, but if you can sing as low as Leonard Cohen (I can!) then you're doing well. This is the lowest key you'll ever need it in, just capo it up as you need to! :) INTRO: D – C - D x 4 – if you want to replicate the bass line in the intro and you’re just strumming, then do these as barre chords and just hit the top three strings. Strumming pattern I’ve used is
DD-U-CD-DU-DU-Dmute-Umute But I’ve found you can just play a standard D/F# chord and just lift off the E string to kind of make a reasonably acceptable sound.
[VERSE 1]
DI’m slowing down the tune, I never liked it fast You want to get there soon, I want to get there last It’sA not because I?Gm??m old, ItA’s not the lGmife I led I Aalways liked it Gmslow, That’s what mGy mFommDa said
DI’m lacing up my shoe, But I don’t want to run I’ll get there when I do, Don’t need no startin' gun It’sA not because I?Gm??m old, And itA’s not what Gmdying does I aAlways liked it Gmslow, SlGow is iFn my bDlood
