We Bury the Hatchet - Garth Brooks
G7 C9
D7aug /
Hey, all the neighbors lights, came on last night
G7 D7
Just like they do every time, we have a little fight
G7 C9
It's gettin' to the point, we can't get along
G7 C#7D7 G7
(a bb b)
We're always fightin’ ‘bout things, that should be dead and gone
[CHORUS]
C7 G7
We bury the hatchet, but leave the handle stick-a-ing out
F# G G# A D7 Eb7 D7
We're always diggin' up things, we should forget about
G7 C9
When it comes to forgivin’, baby there ain't no doubt
G D7 G D9F#7G7
(b c c#) /
We bury the hatchet, but leave the handle stickin’ out
G7 C9
N.C.
Well I was kissing on Cindy, hey that I won't deny
G7 D7
But that's a long time ago, I let a dead dog lie
G7 F#7 G7 C9 B9 C9
But if you want to cut deep how 'bout you and ol' Joe
G7 C#7D7 G7
(a bb b)
I caught you down at the creek just ten years ago
[CHORUS]
C7 G7
We bury the hatchet, but leave the handle stick-a-ing out
F# G G# A D7 Eb7 D7
We're always diggin' up things, we should forget about
G7 C9
When it comes to forgivin’, baby there ain't no doubt
G D7 G D9F#7G7
(b c c#)
We bury the hatchet, but leave the handle stickin’ out, Hey
A7 Bb7 B7 C7 G
We got enough on each other, To wage a full scale war
A7
If we could ever remember
D7 Eb7 D7 C#7 C7
What we were fightin' for We bury the hatchet
G7
But leave the handle stick-a-ing out
F# G G# A D7 Eb7 D7
We're always diggin' up things we should forget about
G7 C7
When it comes to forgivin’ baby there ain't no doubt
G D7 G ABbBC7

Eb7
x6564x
C#7
x4342x
G7

F#7
242322
[INFO:]
You could play G7 as a G9, which you could play as x2323x instead of G7 as 353433,
especially in the first verse
For a lot of the quicker chords that make up the bass runs you could really just hit the 6th string
or 6 and 5 (power chord style)
(some of the very quick bass runs are in lower case letters in parens and I just play those notes)
The opening piano riff is a D7 augmented chord (#5). I usually just play the opening this way:
e|-----------------|
B|------------11---|
G|---------11------|
D|-----10----------|
A|-----------------|
E|--10-------------|
The end piano riff I play something like this:
e|--6-------------------------|
B|--6-8p6------3--------------|
G|-------7\5---3-5p3----------|
D|------------------5-3--3-5--|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|
