When I saw Blake play this live, he mostly used bar chords high up the neck (which is
he gets that sound on the record), but I prefer using "normal" (read: open) chords where
- if only for the reason it makes it easier to sing along with. Use whatever works best for you.
Intro:
D F#7 Bm Bm7

Even fancy things
Have finally lost their charm
Wine and diamond rings
That never get you anymore
You're sleepin again alone
Cause nobody loves you
G F#
Ohh, oh oh oh
Bm7
They should have seen you, shoulda known you
G A A7 (play it x02223)
Shoulda known what it was like to be you
So come on kid
Look at what you did
I don't know if you meant it
But you did yourself in
And I was even havin' a good day
When I found out we'd lost you
(play another verse)
So I, I, I
oh, oh, oh....
Ohh, oh oh oh
It was in the singin' and the strummin'
Oh man I even saw it comin'
D F#7 Bm Bm7
G A D
Barred G - A slide
D (best played barred; x57775)
