The Promise Chords

Sturgill Simpson ~ The Promise Tabbed by ~Coxy~ Extraordinarily beautiful cover of a When In Rome song. Picking pattern is pretty easy to figure out. The guitar on the actual recording is very simple so I tend to embellish it a little bit when playing it solo (like walking down the A bass note to the F#m) when the verses get going properly. The A is hammered onto Asus4 most times it's played but not all, the D is every time in the verse. I?ve played around with some different voicings (like capping the 4th and playing it in G), for a fuller sound when going solo but I?m pretty sure this is what?s played on the record. Chords are all straightforward: A [x02220] Asus4 [x02230] F#m [244222] D [xx0232] Dsus4 [xx0233] Dm [xx0231] E [022100] Capo 2

Intro: A (hammer sus4) x2 A (hammer sus4) If you need a friend F#M Don't look to a stranger D (hammer sus4) You know in the end, A I'll always be there But when you're in doubt And when you're in danger Take a look all around, and I'll be there Chorus: A I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say F#m I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be D Dm But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me A E A I promise, I promise you I will When your day is through And so is your temper You know what to do I'm gonna always be there Sometimes if I shout It's not what's intended These words just come out With no gripe to bear I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I will Bridge: A F#m D A F#m D E I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you
