The Promise chords by Sturgill Simpson

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
