Chords with lyrics
addition, drop the 6th string another step like drop D MajorD tuning. You'll end up with
C#/G#/C#/F#/A#/D#. Finally, capo on 2nd fret.
The D MajorD and E MajorE minor chords use all six strings, striking 6th string first as a base note
and then striking the higher note strings in a sort of down down up up down up pattern
where the first two down strikes are the base note. When you play the E MajorE minor chord,
add your index finger to the second fret of the 6th string to round it out since you're in
drop D.
I think there's also a little flourish of some sort on the D MajorD chords in the chorus, but I
can't figure out what it is. Listen to the song and let me know if you get it. This
is my first tab, so any feedback is appreciated. All the best!
D MajorD
I met a man who was not quite an old man
Amaj7Amaj7
Said he was an old boy
D MajorD
I would make a toast to believe and bet you
Amaj7Amaj7
That I would be the same old man
D MajorD
Not the kind with a lost soul
Amaj7Amaj7
Who can't put down his toys
D MajorD
Honey there'll be absolute peace in my heart
Amaj7Amaj7
And resolution in my soul
E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised
E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
When I don't leave your side
E minorEm
'Cause there's not a single part of my love
A augmentedA D MajorD
That you should not believe
E minorEm
I hope when I grow old
A augmentedA D MajorD
That you grow old with me
D MajorD
I begged the pardon of the fullness of somebodies
Amaj7Amaj7
Because I love the left lane
D MajorD
And I begged the pardon of the mass media
Amaj7Amaj7
You know on Sundays I don't go to mass
D MajorD
And I tipped my hat to your dog in your yard by your
Amaj7Amaj7
house, I'm waiting for a hurricane
D MajorD
To blow, blow, blow from the west to the east and tell me
Amaj7Amaj7 D MajorD
who's gonna be here last
E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
So don't, don't, darlin' don't be surprised
