The Finish Line Intro by Rocky Votolato

The Finish Line tab by Rocky Votolato

Intro

This is my first Chord submission.  I sussed this out by listening and watching Rocky play it on youtube.
I thought he always tuned 1/2 step down, but in this case, he must have been tuned down a full step.
His capo was on the 7th fret, but mine was on the 5th to be in tune with him.  That being said, if you are
in standard tuning, you will play this with your capo on 5th.

Anyway, this song is the final track on Hospital Handshakes(2015)
I loved it and wanted to play it, but I couldn't find the chords.

With respect to capo
G    330023
Am   012200
C    010230
E    000220
D    232000
B/C  010020 (Where this exists, you are walking down from C to Am) I don't know how to annotate this.
F#/D 232002
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
A combination of strumming and finger picking.
There are various hammer ons and pull offs.
You need to listen for these.


Intro with Harmonica(His harmonica is in C)
C   E

   G                     Am
My name is inmate number 30268
      C              G
and I decided not to stay
  E                         D
I doubt they'll kick up any dust or roadblocks
       C   B/C        Am
for an old crook like me

      G                Am
I was in the path of a tornado
       C                 G
I just didn?t expect the spinning
      E                  D
would last as long as it has you know,
     C    B/C   Am           D
so I keep repeating.  I just keep repeating


Chorus:
G    F#/D            E      C  B/C              Am
      There?s always hope.  No good thing ever dies.
    D                 E                     C  B/C  Am
The river is carrying each one of us to the fi?nish line.
    D                         G
One day we'll be on the other side.



Harmonica:  E D C B/C Am D G


          G               Am
These are not the chosen themes.
C                                       G
  These are the themes that have chosen me.
        E              D
and I'm writing for my life
                C           B/C            Am
It's a terrible thing to be afraid all the time
         G                          Am
When you reach the point of a death wish.
    C               G
The feeling that anything
    E            D
has got to be better than this,
          C    B/C  Am          D
then just keep repeating.  just go on repeating


Chorus:
G    F#/D            E      C  B/C             Am
      There?s always hope.  No good thing ever dies.
       D              E                     C  B/C  Am
The river is carrying each one of us to the fi?nish line.
    D                         E    C    B/C  Am
One day we'll be on the other side.
                              G
One day we'll be on the other side.
