Mandolin Orange - That Wrecking Ball A few notes about this song: The 'G' is actually a Dsus4/Gsus2 but becomes a G at the end of the walk-down. The Dadd9 and D/F# are fairly interchangeable, but the D/F# is only played at the very beginning and the end. The Em can be an Em7 if you wish. Dadd9 can also be played as Dsus4/F#. You may also lift your 3rd and 4th fingers off during the C/G for a beat between verses, making it an Am7. There are walk-downs from G to C/G and from Em to G which are played every time this transition occurs and are as follows: Gsus2(G) into C/G Em[7] into Gsus2(G) -3---------0------------ -(3)--------3------------------------ -3---------1------------ -(3)--------3------------------------ -0---------0------------ --0---------0------------------------ -0---------2------------ --2---------0------------------------ -0--0--2---3------------ --2---0--0--0------------------------ -3---------3------------ --0---0--2--3------------------------ You should still be strumming through the full chords during these transitions, but those are the notes you should be hitting along the way. I recommend watching this video if you don't understand what is happening here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D7X2AXGGLQ Feel free to ignore these and play the basic chords. I will add chord charts for the less common chords at the bottom of this page. Capo 5 C/G D/F# G C/G Em G C/G

^C/GI've taken to leanin' ^D/F#these past few days ^GA little too heavy on my ^C/Gwalking cane ^EmAnd I'm afraid ^Gshe's swingin' my way ^C/GThat wrecking ball

(Am7 - every verse)

^C/GNow with all my ^Dadd9ducks in a row ^GWith one pull I ^C/Gcould let her go ^EmNot to lose, j^Gust to show ^Cadd9I'd catch em all

^C/GEvery man bears a burden,^Dadd9 his own beast by the horns ^GThat he hides from the world ^C/Gwhen hes young and strong ^EmLooking over his shoulders, ^Ghalf tethered and torn ^C/GStill standing tall

^C/GAnd every year rolls on l^Dadd9ike a runaway train ^GEvery beast grows stronger a^C/Gs the pendulum swings ^EmTo and fro, ^Ggone she goes ^C/GThat wrecking ball

^C/GI've just seen that ^Dadd9rock of ages ^GI just held my saviors ^Cadd9hand ^EmWe danced on the water, ^Gmy head on her shoulders ^C/GShe swore to never let me fall

^C/GAnd wouldn't time s^Dadd9eem so kindly ^GIf every bright eyed ^C/Ggirl could be ^EmMore like you, a^Gnd shelter me ^C/GFrom that wrecking ball ^Am ^AmThat wrecking ba^D/F#ll

C/G Dadd9add11/A G C/G Em G C/G Slow it down a bit at the end and let the C/G ring out. Hopefully this wasn't too confusing. I transcribed the lyrics myself, so they may be a little off in some places.
