Me And My Gang - Rascal Flatts Track 6 - Pieces Standard Open D Tuning Best For Acoustic Guitar d (Down) A (Down) F# (Down) d A d (Down) Chords Used d(1) D(2) d(3) Gsus2 Asus4 Asus2/4 d |----0-------------0------------0----------0---------0-----------0-------| a |----0-------------0------------0----------0---------0-----------0-------| f#|----0------------12-----------12----------5---------7-----------5-------| d |----0-------------0-----------12----------5---------7-----------7-------| a |----0-------------0-----------12----------5---------7-----------7-------| d |----0-------------0-----------12----------5---------7-----------7-------| The variations of D chords above are not different other than the voicings, which in country songs is an integral part of the song as most country songs use very popular and usually overused chord patterns and so country musicians have to concentrate on their voicings to bring a sense of originality to the song.

Bm7 Gsus2 Someone let you down again d(1) So you turn to me Asus4 Your convenient friend Bm7 Gsus2 Oh but I know what you’re doing d(1) And what you hope to find Asus4 I’ve seen it a thousand times Em7sus4 F#/d Gsus2 Oh the fire we had before Em7sus4 F#/d Are now just bitter ashes Gsus2 Left scattered on the floor D(2) And I don’t want to see you anymore Bm7(2) I’m just not that strong Asus4 I love it when you’re here, Gsus2 But I’m better when you’re gone D(2) Bm7(2) I’m certain that I’ve given and oh how you can take Asus4 There’s no use in you looking Gsus2 There’s nothing left for you to break Em7sus F#/d Gsus2 Baby please release me (careful below as they play one bar less than you would 'feel' before the solo!) Em7sus F#/d Gsus2 Bm7sus2 Bm7 Let my heart rest in pieces Yeaaahh................... SOLO - d(3), Bm7(2), Asus4, Gsus2 D(2) And I don’t want to see you anymore Bm7(2) I’m just not that strong Asus4 I love it when you’re here, Gsus2 But I’m better when you’re gone D(2) Bm7(2) I’m certain that I’ve given and oh how you can take Asus4 There’s no use in you looking Gsus2 There’s nothing left for you to break Em7sus F#/d Gsus2 Baby please release me Em7sus F#/d Gsus2 We both know that you don't need me Em7sus F#/d Gsus2 Let my heart rest in pieces Here again we see the intro motif reappear, this time however it is best to play it chordally as follows with the chords changing in rhythm to the riff: BAR 1 2 3 4 |Bm7sus2 Bm7| Bm7sus2 Bm7(3)| Bm7sus2 Bm7| Bm7sus2 Bm7(3)| x2 You should be able to see that the motif is all that is changing between these chords but by presenting it like this it provides a harmonically pleasing voice! You can also get away with playing it as in the intro of course, depending on whether you want to finish it loudly or delicately! Tabbed by Andrew and a Braindead Monkey.  |
