   I'm not sure of these
 chord names,
   but the shapes are correct.
 
 
 This has a typical Nathaniel strum pattern.
 Using the thumb, on the down strokes of the bass notes,
 and lightly picking the upstroke with the index and ring finger.

This is pretty close for the verse
but I don't feel the strumming is as
important, because the song is like
85% vocals.
 
 (not a 100% percent on lyrics)
 I  want to be the drum (drug?),  that slows me down
 I  want to care to not, break  through
 I  want to have no sense,  or meaning
 I  want to start myself, anew  (on you?)
 (strumming opens up a little more)
 Aint  it hard luck living,  a good life
 Aint  it hard luck living,  a good life
 Aint  it hard luck living,  a good life
 Aint  it hard luck living,  a good life
 A  good life
 I  want a piece that glimmers,  to show them all
 I  want to be delivered,  from you
 I  want to smile but got, no  reason now
 I  want way to bench,  the truth
 Aint  it hard luck, living  a good life
 Aint  it hard luck, living  a good life
 Aint  it hard luck, living  a good life
 Aint  it hard luck, living  a good life
 A  good life
 
 
 That's it. Pretty close anyway,
 the picking is a little more intricate than this,
 but you get the jist anyway.
 Comments, corrections, lyrical help welcome.
