Overgrown chords by James Blake

Guitar chords with lyrics

Lovely tune from James Blake's second album. Playing it on guitar
just about works, strumming softly. The first couple of verses
are just a bassline playing D and A notes, it's neither a D major
nor a D minor chord really.

D*  Dm7
e -----1-|
B -----1-|
G -7---2-|
D -7---0-|
A -5---0-|
E -------|

D*
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away
Like they are daily
Time passes in the constant state
G
So if that is how it is
        Am                  G
I don't wanna be a star
      F
But a stone on the shore
  Dm7
A door frame in the wall
                  F   Em
When everything's overgrown

D*
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along

The outro is different, rather than our D*:

F      Em     Dm7
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
(Em)  F           Em  Dm7
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along
