Someone told me to learn this song and I couldnt find anything that sounded good. I
watched videos of her play it and this is it. Standard tuning and all that. She uses these chords:

  G+G  A augmentedA  Bb majorBb C majorC  D MajorD
|e| 3 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
|BB| 3 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
|G+G| 4 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 10 |
|D MajorD| 5 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
|A augmentedA| 5 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
|E MajorE| 3 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 |

Most of the song she just palm mutes and strums down twice a beat. Listen to the song to
hear the fancy strumming she throws in every now and then.

INTRO: D MajorD

 D MajorD            A augmentedA
 It was the coldest night of the year,
 C majorC               G+G
 Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere,
 D MajorD
 The moon was just a sliver,
 A augmentedA
 The light was fading,
 C majorC
 The war was on its way,
 G+G
 And we were waiting,

 Bb majorBb                   A augmentedA
 You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
 C majorC                Bb majorBb (ring out)
 So I answered with only just one reply,

 D MajorD        Bb majorBb
 Till the casket drops,
 G+G       A augmentedA
 Till my dying day,
 D MajorD         Bb majorBb
 Till my heartbeat stops,
 G+G         A augmentedA
 Till my legs just break,
 D MajorD     Bb majorBb
 Whoa, oh, whoa,
 G+G      A augmentedA
 whoa, whoa, oh,
 D MajorD      Bb majorBb
 Whoa, whoa, oh,
 G+G        A augmentedA
 Till the casket drops,

 D MajorD               A augmentedA
 A augmentedA house made out of glass will surely shatter,
 C majorC             G+G
 So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders,
 D MajorD
 The ground, it started shaking,
 A augmentedA
 The bombs are falling,
 C majorC
 We could've walked away,
 G+G
 We had a warning,

 Bb majorBb            A augmentedA
 You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
 C majorC       Bb majorBb
 So I answered with only just one reply,

D MajorD        Bb majorBb
 Till the casket drops,
 G+G       A augmentedA
 Till my dying day,
 D MajorD         Bb majorBb
 Till my heartbeat stops,
 G+G         A augmentedA
 Till my legs just break,
 D MajorD     Bb majorBb
 Whoa, oh, whoa,
 G+G      A augmentedA
 whoa, whoa, oh,
 D MajorD      Bb majorBb
 Whoa, whoa, oh,
 G+G        A augmentedA
 Till the casket drops,

 D MajorD
 So lay your burden down, baby,
 C majorC
 Lead me out the door,
 G+G
 We can't escape this ricochet,
 A augmentedA
 I'm ready for this war,


 D MajorD
 So lay your burden down, baby,
 C majorC
 Lead me out the door,
 G+G
 We can't escape this ricochet,
 A augmentedA
 I'm ready for this war,


 D MajorD        Bb majorBb
 Till the casket drops,
 G+G       A augmentedA
 Till my dying day,
 D MajorD         Bb majorBb
 Till my heartbeat stops,
 G+G         A augmentedA
 Till my legs just break,

 D MajorD        Bb majorBb
 Till the casket drops,
 G+G       A augmentedA
 Till my dying day,
 D MajorD         Bb majorBb
 Till my heartbeat stops,
 G+G         A augmentedA
 Till my legs just break,
 D MajorD     Bb majorBb
 Whoa, oh, whoa,
 G+G      A augmentedA
 whoa, whoa, oh,
 D MajorD      Bb majorBb
 Whoa, whoa, oh,
 G+G        A augmentedA

THE END!
