Intro: I like to mimic the cello part here with an open E string and some palm muting (shown with the * sign). e|---------------------| B|---------------------| G|---------------------| Repeat x2 (or however long you want. She does it WAY more times, but I think D|---------------------| it sounds good acoustically just twice) A|---------------------| E|-00-*-00-*-00-*-00-*-| For the verses and rest of the intro, I play the Em, then right before I switch to the G chord, I add my first finger to the second fret of the low E string and strum that once. Then I play the G chord, and right before I switch to the A chord, I take my finger off the low E string, strum that once and switch to the A chord. So it should look like this: Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G x2
VERSE 1: Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G The time has come for giving up. I have lost. Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G I wanted once to become what I cannot. Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G Ohh oh oh oh oh ohoh Ohh oh oh oh oh ohoh Ohh Ohh Ohh Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G Why come to me so full of dreams? Well, go on. Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G G With feathered keys, you’re mocking me. I am locked. Em D G Am G It’s easier to pine, to pine. When I switch from the C to the G chord during "I can feel it...", I like to take my second finger from the second fret on the D string and move it to the second fret on the low E string. I think it makes the transition sound nicer, but you wouldn’t really have to play it. I called this chord a Cadd9/F# although I could be wrong on that. C Cadd9/F# G I can feel it through the fields of graves, a beating heart while C Cadd9/F# G D (strum once and ring it out) Rolling hills are roaming through my veins and open arms and all is full of G Smoke. Em D Em/G* C D G *Em/G : 022003 Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C D G Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C D G Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C Oh, oh, oh... VERSE 2: Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G The words you speak stir things in me that I thought were gone Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G G Their faint white heat melts cen-tu-ries deep in frost C Cadd9/F# G I can feel it through the fields of graves, a beating heart while C Cadd9/F# G D (strum once and ring it out) Rolling hills are roaming through my veins and open arms and all is full of G Hope Em D Em/G* C D G *Em/G : 022003 Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C D G Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C D G Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C D G Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C D G Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C D G Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C D G Oh, oh, oh, pining. Em D Em/G* C Oh, oh, oh, Em Em/F# G G/E A C/G fade out....
