  • The song is in G, not D as the previous tab stated.
    You can tell, as this song uses the C chord, whereas the D key doesn't contain C, it contains C#.
    The vocal melody revolves around the D mixolydian scale (5th of G),
  • and D is the main chord used in the song, so the key can be deceiving.
     
    Chords:
  • D: G: C: Em/G: Bm: A:
    e|--(2)-|---3--|---0---|-------|---2---|---0---|
    B|---3--|---3--|---1---|-------|---3---|---2---|
  • G|---2--|---0--|---0---|---0---|---4---|---2---|
    D|---0--|---0--|---2---|---2---|---4---|---2---|
    A|--(0)-|---2--|---3---|---2---|---2---|---0---|
  • E|------|---3--|-------|---3---|-------|-------|
     
    I honestly don't know if Em/G is the correct chord.
  • Actually, it's probably just a regular G, but I like the low sound of Em/G so I use it anyway.
    Don't strum the top strings for it.
     
  • With the D string, feel free to hit the open A as much or as little as you want.

  • The second measure has a lot of variation, most between the hammer-ons (and pull-offs).
    Mess with it and make it yours.
     
  • Verse:
    Note: Don't play the 1st (high E) string for the D chord, keep it muted.
    The exception is at the end of a vocal line, I play the F# a beat
  • to keep the rhythm interesting.
     
    D
  • Oh Lord to see a light
    D
    But fail in strength to follow
  • G C Em/G D
    Sometimes it's hard to let it go
     
  • D
    Oh Lord to fail in heart
    D
  • Each day grow more hollow
    G C Em/G D
    Sometimes I just don't wanna know
  •  
    Chorus:
     
  • D
    But the road that led me here
    D
  • Has begun to disappear
    G C Em/G D
    Sometimes I wonder where I am
  •  
    Oh Lord to hear a voice
    But let it fade and wallow
  • Sometimes it's hard to let it go
     
    Oh Lord to find the words
  • But keep them in and swallow
    One day the top is gonna blow
     
  • But the road that left me here
    Has begun to disappear
    Sometimes I wonder who I am
  •  
    Bridge:
    (Something like this... you get the idea.)

  • Oh Lord to stumble by
    For years without knowing
    Sunrise has burned my eyes again.
  •  
    Oh Lord to crumble quiet
    Watching from the silence
  • Sunrise has burned my eyes again.
     
    It's a seven-story mountain
  • It's a long-long life we live
    Gonna find a light and fill my heart again
     
  • It's a seven story mountain
    It's a long long life ahead
    Gotta find a voice and fill my throat again
  • PLAY TOO ..
