Tuning: E A D G B E
The first chord, which occurs throughout the verses, is A7/B ,
though he actually walks the bass line (with hammer-ons)
from E to F# to A to B. If you're simplifying the chords,
I think a Bm or a Bsus2 sounds more accurate than just playing the A7.
The right bass note is critical to the sound.
A7/B x-2-2-0-2-x
[Intro]
A7/B
[Verse 1]
A7/BCarrying your ashes from bar to bar
DI'm in a mess and you're in a mason jar
With you A7/Bunder my arm like a football
I'm not rDeady to let go and that is all
You wereG never big on conversation
And that A7hasn't changed since your cremation
[Chorus]
And I Dfeel most times like you Gdo
You know I Dfeel most times like you dGo
I wDish that I was hard nosed
Fight a Bm7forest fire with a garden hose
And be bE7rave enough right now
To N.C.start on something new A7/B
[Verse 2]
You were A7/Bright there in the urn
Light as a feather
If my Dhands weren't shaky I'd
Glue you back together
This A7/Bwatering hole was our favourite stop
So I'll Dtake off the lid and pour a drink down the top for you
And I'll Gpull down on that magic lever that
A7Makes it stay the past forever
[Chorus]
And I Dfeel most times like you Gdo
You know I Dfeel most times like you dGo
DSomeone stabbed my voodoo doll
Now it hBm7urts each time that nature calls
And you're E7lucky that nature's finished cN.C.alling out to you A7/B
[Verse 3]
You were A7/Bdown to your very last
Little belt loop but you were
DTougher than a pit bull in the paratroops
And if you're afA7/Braid of getting hurt
You suffer more ills
Like the hDypochondriac who dies choking on his pills
So I should Gswallow real hard and deal with this pain
'Cause I'm as Awasted as a neat freak in a hurricane
[Chorus]
And I fDeel most times like you dGo
You know I Dfeel most times like you dGo
I Dthought I was the one that died
This was Bm7heaven's weird amusement ride
But you E7pinched me in a dream
And I sAaw it wasn't true
[Outro]
So I'm Gdumping your Aashes on the Dfloor F#m
And we'll lGaugh as people sAlip on you
While Dcoming in this F#mdoor
And I'll Gdrink on what you Asaid
To sDtop my feet dF#mragging
No N.C.one dog's bark should ever stop the waggin'
