Ten Thousand Words by The Avett Brothers

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, Chord diagramG+G x2

Chord diagramD MajorD Ten thousand words swarm Chord diagramC majorC round my head, Ten Chord diagramG+G million more in books written be
Chord diagramD MajorD neath my bed Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramG+G

Chord diagramD MajorD I wrote or read them Chord diagramC majorC all when searching Chord diagramG+G in the storm still can't find out how to Chord diagramD MajorD
my hands Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramG+G

Chord diagramD MajorD And I know ya need me Chord diagramC majorC in the next room over Chord diagramG+G but I am stuck in here all Chord diagramD MajorD paralyzed Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramG+G

Chord diagramD MajorD For months I got my Chord diagramC majorC self in ruts, too much Chord diagramG+G time spent in mirrors framed in
yel Chord diagramD MajorD low walls Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramG+G

Chord diagramD MajorD Ain't it like most people, Chord diagramC majorC I'm no diff Chord diagramG+G 'rent, we love to talk on things we don't Chord diagramD MajorD
about Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramG+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?
Chord diagramD MajorD Ain't it like most people, Chord diagramC majorC I'm no diff Chord diagramG+G 'rent, we love to talk on things we don't Chord diagramD MajorD
about Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramG+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.
Chord diagramD MajorD Ain't it like most people, Chord diagramC majorC I'm no diff Chord diagramG+G 'rent, we love to talk on things we don't Chord diagramD MajorD
about CG x4 Chord diagramD MajorD

As for the rhythm in this piece, I'm pretty sure it goes like this:

(Relative to capo 2)

  Chord diagramD MajorD     Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramG+G
e-------------------------------------------|e
B-----3---------1---------0---0--0--0-------|Chord diagramBB
G----2---2-----0---0-----0---0--0--0--------|Chord diagramG+G
D---0---0-0---2---2-2---0---0--0--0---------|Chord diagramD MajorD
A--0---------3---------2--------------------|Chord diagramA augmentedA
E-------------------------------------------|Chord diagramE 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
