Dear Chicago Chords

   
From the Demolition album.

There are various ways I've seen of playing this, depends where you have/put a
capo and I'm not sure how Ryan himself does it, but this is one way at least.

Capo 4th fret

Chords used, relative to capo:

C - X32010
F - 133211
Am - X02210
Asus4 - X02230
Em - 022000
G - 320033



Intro: (C)

The C's are played with hammer ones like this:

e|----0----0-------------------0----0-----------------|
B|----1----1-------------------1----3p1---------------|
G|----0----0h2--and sometimes--0----0-----------------|
D|----0h2--0-------------------0h2--2-----------------|
A|----3----3-------------------3----3-----------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

There are a few hammers on etc on other chords, such as
the F occasionally, but its nothing unusual, the usual
bits used with those chords.

C
Dear Chicgo


You'll never guess


You know the girl you said I'd meet some day


Well I got something to confess

                    F  
She picked me up on Friday


Asked me if she reminded me of you

       C
I just laughed and lit a cigarette


Said that's impossible to do

                 F
Life's gotten simple since


And it fluctuates so much

C
Happy and sad and back again

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/ryan_adams/dear_chicago_crd.html ]
I'm not crying out to much

                F
Think about you all the time


It's strange and hard to deal

                C
Think about you lying there


Those blankets lie so still

             Am
Nothing breathes here in the cold


Nothing moves or even smiles

                          F
I've been thinking some of suicide


But theres bars out here for miles

               Am
Sorry about the every kiss


Every kiss you wasted bad

                     F
I think the thing you said was true

                                  C
I'm going to die alone and sad

C
The wind's feeling real these days


Baby, it hurt's me some


Never thought I'd feel so blue


New York City, you're almost gone

Asus4         Em         F        G
think that I've fallen out of love 

Asus4         Em         F        G
think that I've fallen out of love 

Asus4         Em         F        G
I think that I've fallen out of love 

     C
With you


Thats it. You may have a different way of playing it, but I
think this way works with the capo in place. I'm not to sure
about the Asus4 etc part, so any comments on that or the rest
of it to correct are welcome.
