Grapefruit chords by Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties

Chords with lyrics

Hey guys, this is my first ever post on here, so hopefully it turns out right. This is my favorite song on this
album so hopefully I got it right. I'm about 99% sure this version is correct, though there may be a few spots
missing a chord.

No capo, E-standard tuning
C: x32010
Csus2: x30010
F: 133211
G: 320033
Am: x02210
G*: 355433
Am*: 577555

One note, the Csus2Csus2 is usually a very quick switch from the chord. (Meaning, you only play the
chord once before switching back to C majorC) Just listen to the song and you'll see what I mean.

I recommend listening to the song when learning it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IY_BjQQhx4)

after the funeral, mired in doubt.

Pink and orange like a grapefruit.

In all my dreams, I'm in the house that I grew up in.
A minorAm       G+G      FF        C majorC
I'm trying to be half the man I know my dad is, or was.

I see me as a father looking over a daughter,
          C majorC
Who grew up to be just like you
A minorAm           G+G           FF
And now, that's just a thread I can't hold onto.
