My Wrecking Ball

	  		

 

 


Great song off the new album. 

I play the C as a C/G and the G as a technically a G6add11 below in the diagram.  

Play the Fadd9 in the verses and Chorus with your thumb on the bass note (see chord diagram).  

Sounds good if you add a few embellishments such as hammer ons etc. 


    C/G   G   Am  Fadd9   Fmaj7   Am/B 
e|---0----0----0----3-------0-----0-| 
b|---1----1----1----1-------1-----1-| 
g|---0----0----2----2-------2-----2-| 
d|---2----0----2----3-------3-----0-| 
a|---3----2----0----x-------x-----2-| 
e|---3----3----x----1-------1-----0-| 


Intro: 

Fadd9 (only strum last 4 strings) 


Verse: 


Fmaj7                           C 
Driving through the streets tonight 

  G                       Am 
It's hot I've got the windows down 


Fmaj7                   C                       G 
I wish I could call you I wish you were still around 

Fmaj7                   C 
Nothing much left in the tank 

G                         Am 
Somehow this thing still drives 

Fmaj7                         C                 G 
It forgot what it needed but somehow still survives 


Bridge: 


   Am       Am/B     C          Fmaj7           G 
And all the walls we built they must come down 


Chorus: 


Fmaj7 
Hey, You're my wrecking ball  

         C              G             Fmaj7 
won't you come and maybe knock me down 

Fmaj7 
Hey, You're my wrecking ball  

         C              G             Fmaj7 
won't you come and maybe knock me down 


Fmaj7 
Hey, You're my wrecking ball  

         C               G 
won't you come and knock me down, 

         C          Fmaj7 
come and knock me down,  

C                G              Fadd9 (hold) 
come and knock me down tonight 



Verse: 



Fmaj7                C 
Lying in the bed at night 

  G                       Am 
Feeling like I'm somebody else 

   
Fmaj7                      C                            G 
My thoughts inside my head get lost inside the haunted house 


Fmaj7                C 
Everyone I used to know 

 G                        Am 
Left their dreams by the door 


Fmaj7                      C                            G 
I accidentally kick em thats how I can tell you're still not sure 


Bridge: 


   Am       Am/B     C          Fmaj7           G 
And all the walls we built they rise and they fall

Fmaj7 
Hey, You're my wrecking ball  

         C          G            Fmaj7

Fmaj7 
Hey, You're my wrecking ball  

         C              G              
wont you come and   knock me down
