Martin Sexton - I Thought I Knew Ya Chords & Tabs

I Thought I Knew Ya
By Martin Sexton

"Seeds"

Chords : Craig Eddy


~Martins tuned down a 1/2 step~

* Keep in mind Martin plays w/o a pick and he constantly uses his signature percussive 
every other beat*

** Martin sometimes hammers on the B String 3rd Fret after the A Chord (middle finger)**


*** If you've played Martin's music before, you'll get the idea....he's constantly 
out his Bass lines
      and basic hammer on and pull offs from the chords provided.***

We had mad lovin and so fast was our flame

Talkin trash bout me

Bm
Comin round at me

D                                               A
Making a tale of fool’s gold my reputation

Little miss sunshine’s who I met that day

A                                                             Bm

 D                                                       A
A Buddhist hipster from the purple skies of LA

A                                             Bm
The ground would shake all understanding now

Her fine print swiftly stole away
