Sierra
Tuning: E A D G B E
Theese are the chords for the rythm part, played by the singer.
In the live performace she uses all bar chords and also some G/D and A/D,
but the whole song can be played with only basic open chords and it sounds fine.
All the parts are played one chord per bar, except after "she falls asleep", which is two chords per bar.
There are two parts where you only play the first strumm (marked with *).
There is also a silet part (two bars), where you can use muted strumming on some tapping (marked with N.C.).

[Verse 1]
D G
The people I love keep on dying,

and the people I love keep on moving away,

somebody just went out to Paris,
D A
somebody to a country, I can't pronounce its name.

Sierra and me keep on trying,

but I always seem to be to late for the train,
D G
I keep on dying, but the cigarettes take time,
A D D
the drugs take the edge away.

dancing all night to all her favourite songs,

Changed the rhythm, then changning the scene,

So it seemed.

On blue days she was lying in castles in clouds in the

Center of attention, all the people too close

but they're still too far,

we're taking this to far.
