Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
EADGBe
The verses all follow the same pattern. Listen to the song to figure out the exact
timings, this is just a rough guide.
Follow me into the desert
As thirsty as you are
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
And drown in alcohol
And so on and so forth. Now, the trick is to hit the low string/s (i'm very lazy!)
twice each time you make a chord change. 'duh duh strum strum strum'. Except maybe
on that second C in each section, it just sounds like strumming to me. Listen to
the song, you'll figure it out!
Pre Chorus:
This is a little tricky. There are some odd timings here. Having the song is
helpful, but I strongly recommend the Guitar Pro tab, its really good for figuring
out the timing of the last bit.
This from the chords ver 2 tab seems to work well enough:
Oh no
There she goes
Then the tricky bit:
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine
This is a good chorus, with that great little descending tune after each line.
Again, this is very rough timing for the chord changes, listen to song! Its pretty
simple here.
I shot my love today would you cry for me
I lost my head again would you lie for me
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
I lost my head again would you cry for me
At the end of playing the Aslide down to the G#. Then continue to play the G# as
per the song.
Taken pretty much from chords ver 2
Play each chord 3 times
Just a burden in my hand
Just an anchor on my heart
Just a tumor in my head
Last chorus - repeat the second part of the last line; thats the part from
onwards ('would you cry for me'). Then right at the end, it sounds like another
, like in the prechorus.
