I can tell you the chords and whatever and you watch the video to get where they go. How's that? If you doon't have the video let me know. I'll have it down @ school by tomorrow and I'll write it all out. The basic chords are G:320033 C:032010 D:x00232 A:x02220 Very important when using these chords, to get them to sound like her you MUST MUST MUST use hammer ons and offs. On the C she hammers on from 032010 to 032030 form D she does xx0232 to xx0233 and occaisionally on the G she'll hammer from 300033 to 320033 or hammer 020033 to 320033 (G)Night with it shattered teeth (D)attempts to speak (C)my prince is present but courage left (G)via the sink I'm sorry I snuck up on you (D) from behind, (C)Sorry not all my love (G) letter did arrive (D) I'm sorry that jesus died (G) for my sins and i (D) swear to god it wont be (G) happening again and Im sorry if my D) swerve tempted you to (C) swayayayay (G) whoa (C)sometimes it be that (G with hammeron) way (D)Oh (A) wellive got (G) nothin left to share this (D) love was a (A) velvet ring? (G) unherd in the air (D)I was bound to find (A) out that you (G) didnt care I know the lyrics are shaky, I don't know why I cant remember them now. I'll watch the video again, because I am a bit suspect about a couple of the progressions I gave you. Dont forg |
