This Is The Songgood chords by Punch Brothers

Chords with lyrics

The entire verse is basically a D MajorD minor chord played over different bass notes. If
you listen closely, you can hear Chris Thile changing the bass note on his
mandolin with each chord change, but its always over a Dm. When the song develops
later, it sounds more complicated, but its the same basic idea.

The chorus is pretty simple.

DmDm                 Dm/C
This is the song where I listen

Dm/Bb               Dm/G
This is the song where I sit still

 DmDm                       Dm/C
I called the dogs off all the things I’m missing

  Dm/ Bb majorBb                 Dm/G
And to everyone but you before I set sail

    G minorGm     Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
I said good luck, good luck, good luck

     C majorC
These are tough times

     Eb MajorEb
But we’ll get by

   Bb majorBb
Good luck


Dm/G               Dm7/ C majorC
This is the song where you speak up

Dm/Bb               Dm/ G+G
This is the song where you get moving

  Dm/G                Dm/C
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

    Dm/Bb              Dm/G
And to me but no-one else before you threw it


     G minorGm         Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
You said good luck, good luck, good luck

     C majorC
These are tough times

     Eb MajorEb
But we’ll get by

   Bb majorBb
Good luck

DmDm Dm/C Dm/Bb Dm/G (4 times)


DmDm              Dm/C
I put ashore in front of our apartment

  Dm/Bb                   Dm/G
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

   DmDm                     Dm/C
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

     Dm/Bb              Dm/G
And after this I promise not to interrupt again


   Dm/G            Dm/C
Cause this is the song where I listen

Dm/Bb            Dm/G
This is the song where I sit still

 DmDm                   Dm/C
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

    Dm/Bb                 Dm/G
And the song is just I love you and always will


G minorGm     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
Good luck, good luck, good luck

     C majorC
these are tough times

     Eb MajorEb
But We’ll get by

   Bb majorBb
Good luck

     C majorC
these are tough times

     Eb MajorEb
But We’ll get by

   Bb majorBb
Good luck

     C majorC
these are tough times

     Eb MajorEb
But We’ll get by

   Bb majorBb
