Verse:
There are only three chords in the song:
D G A
e---2------3------0-|
B---3------3------2-|
G---2------0------2-|
D---0------0------2-|
A---0------2------0-|
E---2------3------0-|
A nice effect is to only play the top four strings (D,G,B,e) in the first verse,
then add in the bass notes for the rest of the song.
D G D
I saw her there from afar
G
Her hair gray charcoal
D A
Takes a drag from her tar
G A
I kissed her a smile
D G
But her blood red shot eye
A D
Said the sun never shines on closed doors
Chorus:
G D
She said the sun never shines on closed doors
G D A
I open to find only hurricanes blowin'
G A D G
Take me away back to the green fields of May
A G
Because the sun never shines on closed doors
That’s it! Enjoy!
Footnote: For all of you who are curious, the proper names of the chords played in the song
are G, C, and D. Do with it what you will.
