Tear Jerk by J Roddy Walston And The Business

Tear Jerk chords by J Roddy Walston And The Business

Chords with lyrics

Again, another version best done acoustic. My personal style is simple playing and
emotional singing, and a lot of J Roddy's songs allow for this if you break them down and
play acoustic. Anyways, hope you have fun with this one.

(This part is mostly drums, so I like to just do one stab at the beginning of each line
and maybe do a light tapping on the guitar so that it's not completely a capella. I'll
provide the chords I do the stabs of.)

Chord diagramFF
He wiped his chin down with Uncle Tom's napkin, and uh
Chord diagramC majorC

Take bits of grace, not just the things you will deserve, and uh
