Take It Down Chords by Patty Griffin

Take It Down chords by Patty Griffin

Guitar chords with lyrics

Capo on 6th
Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

C and C/G interchange pretty regularly to taste
Any time a D chord is mentioned, it's one of the Dsus chords

Dsus2 - x-0-0-2-3-0  -or-  x-5-4-0-3-0
--the latter sounds better to me most of the time

🎸 Intro:
C   G   Dsus2



🎸 Verse:
C       G                 D
  Take everything that we have
C             G               D
  Take it and burn it to the ground
C                   G              D
  Some things were never meant to last

🎸 Chorus:
         C             G
Take it down, down, down
         D
Take it down
        C              G
Take it down, down, down
         D
Take it down

🎸 Verse:
C            G             D
  I'm still married to it all
C                G              D
 That ain't no place to hang around
C            G        D
  My love is 50 feet tall

🎸 Chorus:
         C             G
Take it down, down, down

        C              G
Take it down, down, down
         D

🎸 Bridge:
C/G                         D/A
I've grown accustomed to the way
                    C/G
You hurled us into space
                       D/A
I'll never make that trip

C/G                     D/A
Tears all rusted on my face
                        C/G
And I'm just an empty place
                         D/A
Where your love used to fit

🎸 Solo:

  South carolina where are you

 We were once lost and now we're found
C             G                   D
 The war is over, the battle's through
