Hope Diamond tab by Dry The River

Intro

This is my take on an acoustic version of this song since I couldn't find chords for it anywhere!


[Verse 1]
    D MajorD       Cmaj7Cmaj7   D MajorD
So the priceless blue diamond is cursed,
    C majorC    D MajorD
and we both got hurt.
   D MajorD      Cmaj7Cmaj7    D MajorD
Maybe I stand in a minefield of words,
   Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD
but I asked you first.


[Chorus 1]
   E minorEm   B minorBm         G+G        G+G
Those early encounters, with the hurtful lies of kids.
          D MajorD    D MajorD
I remember what you did
A7A7           B minorBm       G+G         G+G
Covered your arms in a curtain-shawl, bloodied your palms
        E minorEm   E minorEm
on the elementary wall.
            D MajorD
If it seems too far, it is.

[Verse 2]
   D MajorD        Cmaj7Cmaj7   D MajorD
I was out there in the cradle of thorns
     C majorC     D MajorD
when your fears took form.
    D MajorD       Cmaj7Cmaj7     D MajorD
And the truth is maybe your fear's a wall.
     Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD
But it's not that tall.


[Chorus 2]
    E minorEm     B minorBm      G+G      G+G
If you want me you show me in a most unusual way,
      D MajorD
In a most unusual way.
A7A7         B minorBm     G+G      G+G
Under the eyes of a frozen lake I saw your fire,
         E minorEm    E minorEm
and it served me not to wait.
         D MajorD
But it hurt me all the same.

[Ending]
A7A7         B minorBm         G+G       G+G
You had to chase an electric storm and you had to wait
        E minorEm     E minorEm
for the violent wind to calm,
    D MajorD
