version 4
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
(I often play in CGCGCC tuning, so I use powerchords instead, which sound good too.)
If you listen to the song, the placing of the chords should come easily.
NOTE: This is how I play it in standard tuning.
It may not be totally correct but it sounds great, particularly with an overdrive or distortion effect on the chorus.
Scale: C major for verse, E minor for chorus
Intro: Cmaj7 - G6 - Asus2 - Em, Cmaj7/E - G6 - Asus2 - Em
(the trick is to play all five strings on the Cmaj7, and only the low three for the Cmaj/E.
If you listen to the song you'll probably notice the subtle addition of the low E to the Cmaj7 chord)
Cmaj7 G6 Asus2 Em
Tell me what you want girl, you tell me what you need,
Cmaj/E G6 Asus2 Em
You know you just say the word I'll be right there, yes I'll be right there at your feet,
Cmaj7 G6 Asus2 Em
Because you know you rock girl yeah, and I love how we roll,
Cmaj7/E G6 Asus2 Em
But I left you all alone, all we got is the phone and it's never gonna be enough,
Cmaj7 G6 Asus2 Em
Living in this dug-out, a million miles away, man,
Cmaj7/E G6 Asus2 Em
I wish they'd pad these walls, like an institution, man, I'm going crazy,
Cmaj7 G6 Asus2 Em
Because when I'm away from you girl, I lose myself,
Cmaj7/E G6 Asus2
You know my train jumps off the tracks and all my pots fall off the shelf.
CHORUS (overdrive until Cmaj7)
