Tricks Of The Trade chords by Paolo Nutini

Chords with lyrics

This is my first ever tab, feel free to comment.

I watched a youtube clip of Paolo playing this live at Eden Sessions and it sounded spot on.
No capo, open D MajorD tuning for a full rich sound.
He even comments at the beginning of the clip about the tuning, which makes this song incredibly easy
to play and sound great. There may be a string or 2 that's not quite right, but for the most part it
sounds just like how he plays it.

I don't know the name of the chords in this tuning so I'll just tab them, give each a basic name,
then show you where each chord should be played in relation to the lyrics.
Listen to the song for strumming pattern....good luck!

(INTRO)
D MajorD F#F# G+G (x2)

(VERSE 1)
    D MajorD
Was it love or recognition that has
F#F#
Healed this man's condition
  G+G
I'm hoping and I'm wishing that
   A augmentedA
This bird won't fly away

    D MajorD
We can see life hand in hand,
  F#F#
The green, the blue, the rough, the sand
  A augmentedA
And in our time and in our land
   G+G
We'll savor everyday

(CHORUS)
  E MajorE           D MajorD  F#F#
And oh, how our glory may fade away,
  G+G
At least we've learned
           A augmentedA
Some things along the way

(VERSE 2)
  D MajorD
You took me from my bubble
    F#F#
Knowing my defense was weak
    G+G
And you sat there and you listened
  A augmentedA
Any time I chose to speak

  D MajorD
You gathered from my pleas to
     F#F#
You that I am but a clown
   G+G
And I fear only a hero
   A augmentedA
can defeat these demons now

(CHORUS)
  E MajorE           D MajorD  F#F#
And oh, how our glory may fade babe,
    G+G
Well at least we've learned some
A augmentedA
Tricks of trade

D MajorD F#F# G+G (x2)

    E MajorE             D MajorD
And as time shall inevitably move on,
F#F#     G+G
Mm well, at least we'll have four strong
    A augmentedA
Legs to stand on
      D MajorD
To keep us alive...
