I looked at David's fingers on his live You Tube video of this song.
Good tune, nice tele sound.
Gbar isn't a new kind of swimsuit but G barred at 3rd fret, or 334553.
Play around on Am to make it sound right.
HEAVY BREATHER
C
The walls of our house are thinner than paper
Em G C Am
The roof is a vapor that hangs in the air
C
And our wedding bed is made from the same stuff
Em G C
(hold)
Our bodies are made of
Em
(quick hit)
Chorus
C Bm
If no heavy breath blew up these lungs
C
Gbar
While dirt and wet spit hung a ghost in the air
D C D G
We’re still here
C
While kids and their friends make war (or warm?) by the fire
Em G C Am
Their old men retire to drink and do drugs
C
We long for the truth We argue about it
Em G C Am
But most of us doubt it will ever be found
C Bm
So no heavy breath blew up these lungs
C
Gbar
While dirt and wet spit hung a ghost in the air
D C Em
But we’re still here
D G Am
We’re still here…
