This is my first post. I couldn't an accurate chord chart so I decided to make my own, then I didn't want to keep it to myself because this song/album/band is amazing!This is all original (I didn't copy and paste, or read anyone else's transcription) I think it is at least 95% accurate. My spelling of "whine" is intentional. Inbox me for questions/comments. Intro: E - F#m - B - A x4 Verse 1: E F#m Lord, I'm discouraged, B A the circles have sucked in her eyes. E F#m Lord, I'm discouraged, B A her new friends have shadowed her life. E F#m Lord, I'm discouraged, B A she ain't come out dancin' for some time. E F#m I tried to light candles B but they burned down to nothin'. A She keeps comin' up with Chorus: E D2 A E Excuses, and half truths, and fortified whine. E D2 A E Excuses, and half truths, and fortified whine. E D2 A E Excuses, and half truths, and fortified whine. E D2 There's a house on the south side, A E she stays there for days at a time. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-hold-steady/326263.html ] Verse 2: E - F#m B I know I'm no angel, A I ain't been bowed that way. E F#m Can't you hear her? B She's that sweet missing song bird A when the choir sings on Sunday. E F#m And I'm almost busted, B A but I bought back the jewelry she sold. E F#m And I come to your alter B and then there's just nothin' A and she keeps insistin' Chorus: E D2 the sutures and bruises A E are none of my buisness. E D2 She says that she's sick, A E but she won't get specific. E D2 the sutures and bruises A E are none of my buisness. E D2 This guy from the north side A E comes down to visit. E D2 The visits, they only take A E five or six minutes. Solo:E - F#m - B - A x 4 E - F#m - A Bridge: F#m - A - Bm x4 F#m A Lord I'm sorry Bm to question your wisdom, F#m A Bm but my faith has been waverin'. F#m A Won't you show me a sign? Bm Let me know that your listening. F#m - A - Bm Chorus: E D2 A Excuses, and half truths, and fortified whine. E D2 A Excuses, and half truths, and fortified whine. E D2 A Excuses, and half truths, and fortified whine. E D2 I know it's unlikely A she'll ever be mine. E D2 A So I mostly just pray she don't die. I also have some interesting theories on the meaning of the album if you're interested. Enjoy! |
