[Verse 1]
D A D
you fell down of course and then you
A D
got up of course and started over
A D
forgot my name of course
A D C
then you started to remember
[Chorus]
G A G A
pretty tough to think about the beginning of December
C GG
*
pretty tough to think about
A D A D
pretty tough to think about yeah yeah pretty tough to think about
*: During that section of the song you strum the G twice in a row
and immediately following the music stops and the lyrics continue.
[Verse 2]
A D A D
you're looking down again and then you look me over
A D A D C
we're laying down again on a blanket in the clover
G A G A
the same boy you've always known well I guess I haven't grown
C G G
the same boy you've always known
A A G
(only play the first few strings of
G G5
the same boy you've always known this , then go right into the )
[Bridge]
G5
think of what the past did it could've lasted
A
so put it in your basket
G5
I hope you know a strong man who can lend you a hand
E
lowering my casket
e|-----3
[Solo] The beginning definitely starts with a B|-2h4-- and I think you can just
make up the rest of it since its most likely improved anyway. Just play around
with it and some of the stuff from the intro and I bet you'll get pretty close.
[Verse 3]
A D A D
I thought this is just today and soon you'll be returning
A D A D
the coldest blue ocean water cannot stop my heard and mind from burning
C GG A A
(just one strum or so)
everyone who's in the know says that's exactly how it goes
C GG A
(stop after one strum) **
and if there's anything good about me I'm the only one who knows
A
**: use an arpeggio up on the last )
