Dan mixes the licks & fills up, as well as mixes between strumming and fingerpicking throughout all the live
videos I have seen. However, I believe you can get the essence of this song through just a strumming pattern.
Below are the main chords that he is using throughout the song. I have included some licks and fills that
I see him use below.
A Chord lick in Verse, 1st and 2nd line of Chorus
- Normal A chord (bar the DGB strings on the second fret) and put ring finger on the 4th fret of the D string
on the 2nd and 4th measure (A chord should last for "1 and 2 and 3 and 4" with the 4th fret of the D string
coming in on the 2nd and 4th measure)
G Chord in Chorus
- He does a walk down thing between the G chord and D Chord in the chorus Hit the 3rd fret of low E on "You",
2nd fret of the low E on "Don't", 2nd fret of the A string on "Think" (this is combined with the E7 Chord)
Check out the KCRW live version on YouTube as this was helpful to watch and get the strumming patern and see
where the licks and fills fit.
CAPO 2ND FRET
[Verse]
DI've been everywhere before, Geven on the jungle floorA  
To the bottom of the deep blue seaD  
I got a little hell to pay, GIt's gonna come my wayA  
Trouble gonna be the end of meD  
[Chorus]
Trouble waits for youA  
GYou don't tE7hink iDt's gAoing A7to
DEven when your heart is trueA  
GTrouble E7it wDill wAait for yDou
[Verse]
I took a little job today, Gway over in east LAA  
Chingonas got me losing my mindD  
They walkin' two by two, Gain't they got nothin' better to doA  
Than hang around lookin' so fineD  
[Chorus]
Trouble waits for youA  
GYou don't tE7hink iDt's gAoing A7to
DEven when your heart is trueA  
GTrouble E7it wDill wAait for yDou
