This one matches, if you want to play along, with the original song. I know he plays
this song differently sometimes, but yeah.
The Am/Em chord is played with the first finger on the first fret of the B string. The
second finger on the second fret of the A string and the 3rd finger on the second fret of
the D string.
Capo on 7th fret
Intro
[F] [C]
ooooo ooooo
[F] [C]
ooooo ooooo
Verse
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
So I threw your letter into the flame
[G] [C] [F]
And watched the fire regain
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
And these words have done nothing for you
[G] [C] [F]
As I did not read them through
[G] [C] [F]
Now turned to ash in the flume
Pre-Chorus
[F]
And colors are dull
[C] [G]
As the feeling of the cold
[F]
And memories fall
[C] [G]
As the fire is getting old
[F]
Oh and I once more am now
(pluck the A string first and then the G and B strings together for these chords)
Chorus
C Am Am/Em
Don’t you fret I’ll find my way
[F] [C] [Am] [G]
Carefully walking from the devil’s plane
C Am Am/Em
And I know why you did not follow me
[F] [C] [G] [C]
Pride swallowed me then led me astray
[Post-Chorus]
[F] [C]
ooooo ooooo
[F] [C]
ooooh ooooo
Verse
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
And now the dark in me has now seen the day
[G] [C] [F]
Oh my chill has now lost its way
[Am] [G] [C] [F]
And these hands that once had helped me to pray
[G] [C] [F]
They are limp in all their dismay
[G] [C] [F]
Oh they fall in their disarray
Pre-Chorus
[F]
And colors are dull
[C] [G]
As the feeling of the cold
[F]
And memories fall
[C] [G]
As the fire is getting old
[F]
Oh and I once more am now
(Same plucking as before)
Chorus
C Am Am/Em
Oh don’t you fret I’ll find my way
[F] [C] [Am] [G]
Carefully walking from the devil’s plane
C Am Am/Em
And I know why you did not follow me
[F] [C] [G] [C]
Pride swallowed me then led me astray
