version 2
It sounds lovely with open chords, with the obvious exception being the F#,
which is easiest (and sounds best) played at 2nd fret.
I initially thought that the chord after the second E in the verse was E7sus4
02020x as in past and pending, but upon further listening, I'm sure it's just a D.
E B E - D A
"Howdy, lem," my grandpa said with his eyes closed
E B E - D A
wiping the eastbound dust from his sunburned brow
A
a life before doubt.
Chorus:
G A G A
I smell the engine grease and mint the wind is blending
G A D F# G
under the moan of rotting elm in the silo floor
D A
Verse 2:
E B E - D A
Down a hill of pine tree quills we made our way
E B E - D A
to the bottom and the ferns where thick moss grows
A
beside a stream.
Chorus:
G A G A
Under the rocks are snails and we can fill our pockets
G A D F# G
and let them go one by one all day in a brand new place
D A
Instrumental break x2
E B E-D A
E B D A
(play this variation on the verse chords twice)
Chorus:
G A G A
You were no ordinary drain on her defenses
G A D F# G
and she was no ordinary girl Oh, Inverted World
A G A
if every moment of our lives were cradled softly
A D
in the hands of a strange and gentle child
F# G
I'd not roll my eyes
E G
so.
E G Repeat until fade
When James Mercer played this acoustically, he repeated the E and G at the end a few
times then ended with E G A E which sounds really nice. As usual, Mercer does a lot of
Hammer ons and pull offs, which you can add optionally (sounds great on the D chord just
before the F# and on the A in the chorus)
Furthermore, The E to D change is a quick one. The E and B chords are a bar each,
whereas the E and D chords last half a bar each. Listen to the song if timing is an issue.
