The Blind Leaving The Blind Mvt 1 - Part 2 chords by Punch Brothers

Chords with lyrics

This is Part 2 of the first movement aka "Red Handed"

The chords written are the actual chords being played, but it's easiest
to play it like Chris Eldridge does it with a capo on the second fret,
1 step lower (starting in the key of G+G instead of A augmentedA).
Just transpose it down 2 half steps and capo 2.
This is highly simplified but it sounds decent just playing it on an acoustic guitar.

Intro

A augmentedA A majorA D MajorD E MajorE

D MajorD          A augmentedA
The sweet young man
D MajorD                    E MajorE        B minorBm
goes walking down the street wiping blood off his hands
                 BB       E MajorE
and it doesn't look good but he does what he can
D MajorD        A augmentedA
to erase the signs
D MajorD            A augmentedA     E MajorE      B minorBm
of the nightmare he faced at the scene of the crime
D MajorD        F# minorF#m   E MajorE
she snuck up behind him
A augmentedA    D MajorD       F# minorF#m    B7B7
as he knelt by her victim
E MajorE            E MajorE    G#sus  BB
whispered "I knew you'd come;
    E MajorE         E MajorE  G#sus  BB
But there's nothing to be done,
    A augmentedA        E MajorE     F#F# G#sus G#G#
And if I was you, I'd run.
C# minorC#m       D#D#   C# minorC#m       D#D#
'Cause no one cares about what you felt
E MajorE
when they see any signs of guilt.
C# minorC#m       D#D#   C# minorC#m   D#D#
you kissed its face; you held its hand;
E6E6                    BB
you always were a sweet young man"

D#mD#m      D MajorD
he's still a mess
F#F#      B minorBm   A augmentedA       A/G#   A/GA/G   F#F#
so he hires a car to take him to the fountain at Balboa Park
D#mD#m          D MajorD      F#F#      B minorBm
where he used to play when he was young
      A augmentedA   A/G#  A/GA/G  F#F#  F#/E  D MajorD
he's gonna wash off in front of God and everyone
Dmaj7Dmaj7  A augmentedA  A augmentedA
everyone
