Variation A augmentedA

There is a slight delay between
the sliding base and the strum.                   On the last pick stroke also slap.

PRE-CHORUS: (the part where he goes  I want to live in the center of a circle)

He is alternating between A5sus5 and G. herese the way to play them:

John continually strums this F5F5 chord puling of the BB string to the open string.

1 3 3 0 1 x
       p0


!! At the end of the chorus he strums the F5F5 chord twice and slides this shape 2 frets up and strums again. !!


Bridge:
F5F5
I can tell you this much

II will marry just once
            C majorC
And if it doesn't work out

Give her half of my stuff
A augmentedA
It's fine with me
          Dsus2/B
We said eternity
F5F5
And I will go to my grave

With the life that I gave
               C majorC
Not just some melody line

On a radio wave
      A augmentedA
It dissipates
           Dsus2/B
And soon evaporates
           F5F5
But home life doesn't change
