Sweet Defeat chords by Jon Allen

Chords with lyrics

Jon Allen plays the song with his guitar tuned down a whole step and his capo on the 4th fret.
So you can just use a capo on the second fret on standard tuning.

The G7G7 chord he uses isnt your usual |3-2-0-0-0-1|, but instead he uses the |3-2-3-0-0-x/3| variant,
in wich he alternates the first fret on the BB string.

Intro: C majorC A minorAm FF G7G7 x2

     C majorC       A minorAm
Well I was busy going nowhere
   FF     G7G7
Hanging out in no mans land
     C majorC       A minorAm
When you showed me the silver
     FF      G7G7
There in bad lucks ugly hand

       FF       C majorC
Youve got the sweetest disposition
     A minorAm       G7G7
And a heart thats open wide
      FF      C majorC
I know that youre the woman
   G7G7
Whos gonna keep me satisfied

 C majorC    A minorAm
Sweet defeat
  FF    G7G7        C majorC A minorAm
Im lying helpless at your feet
 FF      G7G7       C majorC  A minorAm
And so its goodbye to the street
FF      G7G7
Im so pleased to meet you sweet defeat

Well Id given up believing
That Id ever end up here
But now Im happy on the high wire
With your voice ringing in my ears

I wanna call you up Sundays
When Ive nothing much to say
I want hold on to you darling
Throw everything else I got away

Sweet defeat
Im lying helpless at your feet
And so its goodbye to the street
Im so pleased to meet you sweet defeat

Youre like the morning breeze a blowin
Right through this weary soul
You give me a feeling
From my head down to my toes

Sweet defeat
Im lying helpless at your feet
And so its goodbye to the street
Im so pleased to meet you sweet defeat
