Capo: 3 Tuning: E A D G B E

THE COUNTRY HILL DEVIL – TROPHY SCARS Taken from the following live performance for GemsOnVHS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XbqGOKwlQ These are the basic chords, but it should be good enough to play along and sing it. There are a bunch of little hammer-ons and pull-offs during some of the F, Am and Fmaj7 chords, but they should be easy to work out. The intro is obvisouly fingerpicked, which includes a lot more details than just the basic chords. CAPO 3 Standard Tuning [Intro] C G/B C F C G C G [Verse]

Your ^Cworn, beaten paths pushing c^Gounterfeits, where ^Cwhiskey stained sheets line the ^Fbeds Spark f^Amluorescent lights, the true ^Ccancer of ^Fnight, holding ^Cclarity like a ^Ggun to your ^Fhead

[Bridge]

And ^Dmgod ^E7damn you^Fmaj7, ^Fmaj7you ought to heed what I’ve ^Csaid ^G

[Verse]

‘Cause ^Choney we’re the kids that ^Ggod forgot, dead b^Cranches swept out in the ^Fwake Our ^Amtorn velvet sky may ^Cleave us both ^Fblind if we ^Clook towards the ^Ghope it dis^Fplays

I’ve ^Cheard the call of the ^Ggreat after all, oh I’ve ^Cshivered in steady drawn ^Fsights And the ^Ambreaths that I took, well they’d ^Cleave us both ^Fshook I know your ^Cheart’s as cr^Gooked as m^Fine

[Bridge]

And ^DmGod ^E7damn ^Fmaj7you, ^Fmaj7there ain’t a woman as f^Cine ^G

[Chorus]

Bel^Fieve ^Cme ^Glove it’s ^Calmost ^G/Bgood e^Amnough To ^Dmhide in the scars that t^Amatter your arms and ^Fshine like the trophies they ^Care But all stars ^Ffade, F G Gadd11 G cloaks fall from pain, ^Gand to love is to hate

[Interlude] C G/B C F C G C G [Verse]

So ^Ccount every footprint that l^Geads back to me, baby ^Ctrace the jigsaw of our t^Fime And the ^Amcold that we’ve felt is an ^Cice cube in he^Fll to the ^Cwarmth when our ^Gpieces ^Falign

I know I ^Cfuck up like breathing, seems ^Geach day’s a reason to ^Cburn every bridge that I’ve p^Fatched Give me one l^Amast leap of faith, I swear ^CI’ll turn our ^Fpage, fold ^Cdog ears and s^Gwallow the m^Fatch

[Bridge]

And ^DmGod ^E7damn ^Fmaj7you, ^Fmaj7I’m gonna eat what I ca^Ctch ^G

[Chorus]

^FI d^Con’t ^Gknow, honey what ^CI d^G/Bon’t ^Amknow But y^Dmou’re not the scars that ^Amtatter your arms and ^Fshine like the trophies they ^Care All stars f^Fade, G Gadd11 G cloaks fall from pain, ^Gand to love is to ^Chate, oh to ^G/BLove is to ^Amhate And all meaning I ^Ffind F G Gadd11 G is deaf, dumb and blind ^GBut not you

[Outro] C G/B C F C G C
