I made this for people who just want to play it with\r\nchords. I didn't watch a live performance when writing this, just wrote what sounded right to me.\r\n\r\nAn important note to make is the fact that the chorus relies heavily on the \"bass\" part, which goes to a G at\r\nthe second \"oh man\", but for the sake of a 'chord' part for this song. I personally like to just repeat the\r\nF Em descent in order to follow the vocals. I also play Dsus2 after the first Dm but the note heard in the\r\nsong is an A. One could even play F as the bass note, but that doesn't sound right to me played with chords.\r\nI took a number of creative liberties to make this song sound good on one guitar, but I hope it helps you\r\ndecide for yourself what sounds and feels best.\r\n\r\n[Intro] [ch]C[/ch]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]           [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nSo now I am older[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]              [ch]F[/ch]\r\nThan my mother and father[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]              [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nWhen they had their daughter[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]              [ch]F[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]G7[/ch]\r\nNow what does that say about me?[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]C[/ch]           [ch]G[/ch]     [ch]F[/ch]\r\nOh how could I dream of[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]                  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nSuch a selfless and true love[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]             [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nCould I wash my hands of?[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]           [ch]F[/ch]       [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]G7[/ch]\r\nJust lookin out for me[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]F[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch]      [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch]\r\nOh man what I used to be[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]G7[/ch]\r\nOh man oh my oh me[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]F[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch]      [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Dsus2[/ch]\r\nOh man what I used to be[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]G7[/ch]\r\nOh man oh my oh me[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Bass part]\r\n[ch]F[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]              [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nIn dirth or in excess[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]       [ch]F[/ch]\r\nBoth the slave and the empress[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]                [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nWill return to the dirt I guess[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]     [ch]F[/ch]           [ch]G[/ch]\r\nNaked as when they came[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]           [ch]G[/ch]    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nI wonder if I'll see[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]         [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAny faces above me[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]                   [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nOr just cracks in the ceiling[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]     [ch]F[/ch]       [ch]G[/ch]\r\nNobody else to blame[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]F[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch]      [ch]Dm[/ch]  [ch]Dsus2[/ch]\r\nOh man what I used to be, oh[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]   [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]G7[/ch]\r\nman oh my oh me[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]F[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch]      [ch]Dm[/ch]  [ch]Dsus2[/ch]\r\nOh man what I used to be, oh[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]   [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]  [ch]G7[/ch]\r\nman oh my oh me[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]([ch]E[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]F[/ch]   [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]F[/ch]  etc...\r\n    Oooooh ooooh oooOOoohooh etc...[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab]     [ch]C[/ch]              [ch]G[/ch]    [ch]F[/ch]\r\nGold teeth and gold jewelry[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]                  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nEvery piece of your dowry[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]                  [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nThrow them into the tomb with me[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]         [ch]F[/ch]       [ch]G[/ch]\r\nBury them with my name[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]             [ch]G[/ch]   [ch]F[/ch]\r\nUnless I have someday[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]                  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nRan my wandering mind away[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\naaaay[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch]\r\nooooo[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Outro]\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]F[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch]      [ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nOh man what I used to be[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]F[/ch]    [ch]Em[/ch]     [ch]Dm[/ch]   [ch]Dsus2[/ch]\r\nMontezuma to tripoli, oh[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]   [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nman oh my oh me[/tab]","plain_text":"This song can absolutely be played with chords, but some parts could be modified because the song is normally\nplayed with a picking pattern with a slight bass focus.
