d=downstroke u=upstroke. Listen to the song and you’ll get the rhythm. Intro/Verse Every other time he goes through this riff he puts heavy emphasis on the high notes of the GAnd in case you didnt know: Verse D C G D C G Found my fingers up north in the forest of the fern D C G D C G Yeah I blame them words for all Ive learned D C G D C G Well I watched my wits walk west where the money is earned D C G D C G Just to strut my stuff and wait my turn Riff then Chorus (Am) G And I have often thought that these old bones D Should just go on ahead and break if they gonna Am G D These old teeth should just go on and give out Am G D C G They're running the jail for profit these days D C G Thats what they say verse 2 D C G D C G Lost my lungs long ago in the belly of the beast D C G D C G Yeah I got my gall from the boys back east D C G D C G Yeah I sing sweet songs with the throat that belongs to her D C G D C G Yeah she wears my heart and wears my words Pre-Chorus/Interlude Part? F# Got these lips from the girl next door G D C G D C G The only problem is they only beg for more F# Sold my skin for some fancy clothes G D C G D C G I thought Id get a better deal but thats the way it goes Riff then Chorus (Am) G And I have often thought that these old bones D Should just go on ahead and break if they gonna Am G D These old teeth should just go on and give out Am G D C G They're running the jail for profit these days D C G D D D D Thats what they say Outro F# Put all the rest in a hollow tree G D C G D C G Yeah fill it with cement and let me be Note: Before those last D’s in the outro he plays the E string on the 2nd fret and then he plays the high E string open. I like to screw around plucking the strings in a different pattern for that last part instead of just strumming. His still sounds a lot better and he screws with the rhythms and plucking little notes and stuff. But you can still use this to play and sing the barest form of the songhide this tabD C G E||-2-2-2--0-0--3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3----------------------| B||-3-3-3--1-1--0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0----------------------| G||-2-2-2--0-0--0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0----------------------| D||-0-0-0--2-2--0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0----------------------| A||-x-x-x--3-3--2--2-2--2-2--2-2--2----------------------| E||-x-x-x--x-x--3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3----------------------| Riff: He leads into the Chorus with this.
