Happy Home

This is palm-muted, on only 1 string. I won't write the repetitions, it's
easy to figure out anyway, just listen to the song

"I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out"
Verse 2
Palm-muted as well (until just before the chorus, D)
Use 2 strings this time if you want. Notice that the 1st line is different to
the first verse.
D F Bb F E
In my lovers arms I wait for morning
D F G A
I beg my god to speak and tear me apart
Bb F G A
I'd lay down my body I'd lay down my arms
Bb F G D
I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm
Chorus
Use full power chords this time (eg, D = 000---)
Listen for repetitions, and for palm-mute at the end
Bb F G D Bb F A
Verse 3
Same instructions as previous verse.
Notice that the 1st 2 lines here are different to the previous verses.
D C Bb F E
In my happy home i read the signs
D C Bb A
In my lovers arms I move in time

"I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out"
(Instrumental outro)
This is a bit tricky so read carefully.
The first line is just the lead-in, and has no repetition
The 6 lines after that uses high F, but after that it uses low F
D = 000----------|
Dh (D high) = -577---------|
D# = -688---------|
F = 333----------|
Fh (F high) = -8(10)(10)---|

Bb to F several times and then A as you exit each part.
Ah ah ah ah
In my happy home I read the signs
In my lovers arms I move in time

I never thought for one second
I'd have nothing left but shame
In my happy home I barely breathe
I never once in my wayward life
Was heading to run out
