Rain on the bard
Clinging water mark
And your hands are what I had
And calls up what I can
Ring you and me
Shake memory free
Cant scratch the open sun
Cant chase away the hope
I've buried you
In every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands
Rain sound the alarm
And stain my broken heart
The things violinist
Buried in my gut
There are chances or choices
Sometimes you just have to cut
I've buried you
Every place I move
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands
I have buried you
With my shaking hands
You keep ending up
Every place I been
I have buried you
Every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands
You keep ending up
Every place I've been
In my shaking hands
Every place I've been

version 4
Capo:no capo
. = Palm-Muted
~ = hold note
^ = vibrate
p = pull off
h = hammer on
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
* = harmonic
Tuning: Standard (+15 cents - A4 455)
Capo 2 (chords are relative to the capo)
Dont get ocd about the picking. Im just trying to give an idea of what justin is playing
and what tuning / capo he is using.
The chord patterns should be spot on, you just need to figure out the picking for yourself.
Dont forget the extra 15 cents on your tuning and the capo on 2nd fret, otherwise the
recording will be out of tune to what you are playing!
