OWEN - I GOT HIGH CHORDS

Capo: 9 Tuning: D A D F# A D

Tuning: DADF#Ad (Open D) Capo: 9th fret This song is played in Open D tuning (DADF#Ad from low to high), with a capo on the 9th fret. Below, I've provided the names of the chords relative to the capo, as well as how they are voiced. If you don't feel like messing around with retuning your guitar, you can find the absolute chord names by transposing the tab down three half steps and strum along with those instead.

In practice it is not played as precisely as I have written it; the notes are plucked as you are strumming, so there are always open notes resonating. I've also marked out how the plucked chord changes correspond with the lyrics.

^DI got high ^Dmaj9 With an art teache^Em11/Dr of mine ^DI learned how to paint ^Dmaj9Portraits and landscapes with ^Em11/Dperspective

[Verse 2]

^DBut I've been sitting here The better part of ^Dmaj9eighteen years Blank stare blank ^Em11/Dcanvas ^DIn need of a new ^Dmaj9view Of some new ^Em11/Dscenery to render ^D ^D

There's a ^Gmaj7boat ^D*leaving Where it ^Gmaj7goes ^N.C.I don't know

[Verse 3] D Dmaj9 Em11/D D Dmaj9 Em11/D

I've been buried ^Dalive ^Dmaj9 My history teacher by my ^Em11/Dside Lest I ^Dforget those mistakes ^Dmaj9That better men have made^Em11/D The battles fought and lost ^D ^Dmaj9 Small victories at what ^Em11/Dcost? The ^Dcurriculum is dated My ^Dmaj9inspiration fading ^Em11/D A slow setting sun ^D ^D

[Chorus 2]

There's a ^Gmaj7boat ^D*leaving Where it ^Gmaj7goes Well, I don't ^D*know But if it ^Gmaj7floats I'm ^Dmaj7get - ^D/Ating on ^Gmaj7 With or without you

[Bridge] D D6 Gmaj9 D D6 Gmaj9

^D The winds are ^D6strong enough ^Gmaj9 ^D Our native tongues will ^D6fail us ^Gmaj9 ^Dmaj9Oh, the ^Gmaj9pleasure I would ^Dmaj9take ^Gmaj9 In ^Dmaj9renaming ^Gmaj9 everything ^D*
