Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
The Horrible Crowes song Cherry Blossom, the 6th track of the record: 'Elsie'. It’s in
standard tuning, and no capo. The song appears difficult to learn and play, however once
the chord shapes, which are very simple are learnt, the rest falls into place. The 
chords in the Chorus are played as the barre chord variants, whereas the chords in the bridge
are played in the open variants.

And there was blood on my teeth

Bones broke in half

A stain on my shirt

From a couple hours out with the boys
E
And all good things come to an end

And all memory has left my bones

If I drove straight off this bridge

Only God and my baby      would know
B5        C#5                        Bm(4)/A
I'm sure she'd be laughing, come during spring

With some fella who just said the right thing

See all I can do is think about you
         Bm                                      A
And miss all your kisses like the spring
E
But if I had a sign
                                                Dsus4
That one day you'd be mine again, oh no
F#m                                   Bm     A
If I could hold you right then
 E
As the chill in this season sputtered and spit and died with...


Chorus Variant 3:
A
Blood on my teeth
F#m
From just what they did here
A
Snow tumbling down on the ground
F#m
And me stumbling out of my heart
A (Diminuendo)
Finding cherry blossoms on the hood of my car
