Tuning:
I based this on the album version, but I got the bridge from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4Ygjt0_hKs In that video, it looks like where I have "B7" he is playing something different. However, I don't think it's D6, as you'll find in other tabs of this song. D6 just doesn't quite sound right when compared to either their live performances or the studio recording. I think B7 sounds better, but feel free to experiment and leave a comment with what you think sounds best :) Verse 1:
I Glost my luckyEm ball & chain And Cnow she's four years Dgone Just Gfive feet tall andEm sick of me And Call my Drattling Gon She Gthrew away her Embaby-doll I Cheld on to my Dpride But GI was young and Emfoolish then I feel Cold and Dfoolish Gnow.
B7 [Give it a listen to get the strum down.] Chorus:
ConfiCdentially, she never called me Gbaby-doll ConfiCdentially, I never had much Gpride But Cnow I rock a bar stool and I Gdrink for two Just Dpondering this Ctime bomb in my Dmind.
Verse 2:
I Glost my lucky Emball & chain And Cnow she's four years Dgone Just Gfive feet tall and Emsick of me And Call my Drattling Gon She Gwalked away from a Emhappy man. I Cthought I was so Dcool. GI just stood there Emwhistling "There Cgoes the bride" as sDhe walked out the Gdoor Em C D G (strum 3 times and pause for a 1-beat rest.) There goes the bride as she walked out the door
Bridge: [h = hammer on, but in live performances, he often just plucks them individually. The D7 moving up 3 frets is how they play it live; it's a little different on the album recording.] (D7) e|-------------|-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-11-11-11-11-|-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-11------| B|-------------|-1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7-10-10-10-10-|-1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7-10------| G|-------------|-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-11-11-11-11-|-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-11------| D|---------0h2-|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------| A|-----0h2-----|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------| E|--3----------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------| Verse 3:
GI could shake my Emtiny fist And Cswear I wasn't Dwrong, But Gwhat's the sense in Emarguing CWhen you're Dall Galone? GSure as you can't Emsteer a train CYou can't change your Dfate GWhen she told me Emoff that day CI knew I'd Dlost my Ghome.
B7 Chorus:
ConfiCdentially, I never told you Gof her charms ConfiCdentially, we never had a Ghome But Cthis railroad apartment was the Gperfect place DWhen she'd sit and Chold me in her Darms.
Repeat 2nd verse:
I lGost my lucky Emball & chain And nCow she's four years Dgone Just fGive feet tall and Emsick of me And aCll my Drattling Gon She wGalked away from a Emhappy man. I tChought I was so Dcool. GI just stood there wEmhistling "There Cgoes the bride" as sDhe walked out the Gdoor Em There gCoes the bride as sDhe walked out the doGor Em There Cgoes the bride as sDhe walked out the doGor.
[The song fades out on the album; in the live performances they usually end on G. I like to end by strumming G three times, like in the video I linked at the top.]
