Tabs
chord progressions I've seen and a video of the Avetts playing this live, I think it's
dead on.
The chords to this song are as follows:
[Capo 2]
D, C, G+G x2
D MajorD Ten thousand words swarm C majorC round my head, Ten G+G million more in books written be
D MajorD neath my bed C majorC G+G
D MajorD I wrote or read them C majorC all when searching G+G in the storm still can't find out how to D MajorD
my hands C majorC G+G
D MajorD And I know ya need me C majorC in the next room over G+G but I am stuck in here all D MajorD paralyzed C majorC G+G
D MajorD For months I got my C majorC self in ruts, too much G+G time spent in mirrors framed in
yel D MajorD low walls C majorC G+G
D MajorD Ain't it like most people, C majorC I'm no diff G+G 'rent, we love to talk on things we don't D MajorD
about C majorC G+G x2
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief and says I'm too caught up.
They say young is good and old is fine and truth is cool, but all that matters is you
your good times.
But those good times come with prices and I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
At anyone's expense except their own, would they laugh if they knew who paid?
D MajorD Ain't it like most people, C majorC I'm no diff G+G 'rent, we love to talk on things we don't D MajorD
about C majorC G+G x2
C, G, x4
And after we are through, ten years in making it to be the most of glorious debuts
I'll come back home without my things cause the clothes I wore out there I will
not wear round you.
And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings, and how the experts all have had their doubts.
D MajorD Ain't it like most people, C majorC I'm no diff G+G 'rent, we love to talk on things we don't D MajorD
about CG x4 D MajorD
As for the rhythm in this piece, I'm pretty sure it goes like this:
(Relative to capo 2)
D MajorD C majorC G+G
e-------------------------------------------|e
B-----3---------1---------0---0--0--0-------|BB
G----2---2-----0---0-----0---0--0--0--------|G+G
D---0---0-0---2---2-2---0---0--0--0---------|D MajorD
A--0---------3---------2--------------------|A augmentedA
E-------------------------------------------|E MajorE
At any rate, this pretty much repeats throughout the whole song and there is some
in addition, however I'm not quite sure where that occurs. He might be using a pentatonic
