Intro: Riff
For the verse I play the chord Em then walk up to the G through the D/F# then down from
G through D/F# to the Em
Em D/F# G
There's a note underneath the front door
D/F#Em G D/F#
that I wrote twenty years ago
Em D/F# G
Yellow paper and a faded picture
Am (Riff)
And a secret in an envelope
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_civil_wars/20_years_tab_ver_2.html ]
Em D/F# G
There's no reasons No excuses
D/F# Em G D/F#
There's no secondhand alibis
Em D/F# G
Just some black ink on some blue lines
Am (Riff)
and a shadow you won't recognize

RIFF
Em G
In the mean time I'll be waiting
Em G D/F#
for twenty years and twenty more
Em G
I'll be praying for redemption
Am Em D/F#
and your note underneath my door
Am (Riff)
And your note underneath my door
