Have You Forgotten by Red House Painters
Have You Forgotten
C F G Am G F
I can't let you be, cause your beauty won't allow me
C F
wrapped in white sheets,
G Am G F
like an angel from a bedtime story
G Am
and shut out what they say,
F Am G F
cause your friends are fucked up anyway
G Am
and when they come around,
F Am G F
somehow they feel up and you feel down.
(same chords as above for the next verse:)
When we were kids, we hated things our parents did
we listened low to Casey Kasem's radio show
that's when friends were nice,
to think of them just makes you feel nice
the smell of grass in spring
and October leaves cover everything.
C G Am G F
Have you forgotten how to love yourself? x2
I can't believe all the good things that you do for me
sat back in a chair like a princess from a faraway place
nobody's nice, when you're older your heart turns to ice
and shut out what they say;
they're too dumb to mean it anyway
When we were kids, we hated things our sisters did
backyard summer pools and christmases were beautiful
and the sentiment of coloured mirrored ornaments
and the open drapes
look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes
Have you forgotten how to love yourself? x6
=====================
This is played with a capo on the 3rd fret.
The F chord at all times is played with an open E string
(the light E string, not the heavy one).
In the chorus, he plays the barred C and G shapes i.e.
the C is played at the 11th fret etc.
In the verse, for the C chord pull off the E note to a D,
and for the first F chord pull off the A note to a G.
The F that ends each line has a little bit that goes
E-F-D-E on the D string. It's easy.
The one part I wasn't 100% sure about is the first F in the
3rd and 4th lines of each verse. An F seems to work
fine, but on the record, you can hear a B note from
the bass. I guess it's just another of those brilliant
Red House Painter things! Genius! I'm sticking to my
F though.

version 3
Tuning: EADGCe, capo 3 fret
Intro:
These diagrams don't imply the rhythm, but it's easy to hear when to change chords.
Part A:
| Cadd9 | C | F7M C/F | G Am |
e|--(0)--|--(0)-(0)--|--(0)-(0)--|---0---0---0---|
C|---0---|---0---0---|---0---0---|---0---0---0---|
G|---0---|---0---0---|---2---0---|---4---5---4---|
D|---0---|---2---0---|---3---3---|---0---0---0---|
A|---3---|---3---3---|---3---3---|---------------|
E|-------|-----------|---1---1---|---3---5---3---|
The first chord is only played twice in the start of the song.
The Am is only played 2-3 times before it goes back to the G.
Part B:
Then this:
Play the first chord for three bars, then play the last part.
e|---0---|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|
C|---0---|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|
G|---0---|---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|
D|---3---|---2-h-3---3---3---0---0---0---0---|
A|---3---|---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---|
E|---1---|---1---1---1---1---1---1---1---1---|
Verse:
The verse essentially consists of the intro chords repeated twice, followed by a new part:
Part C:
e|--(0)--(0)--|---0---|---0---|---0---0----0---0---|
C|---0----0---|---0---|---0---|---0---0----0---0---|
G|---0-or-4---|---0---|---0---|---0---0-or-5---4---|
D|---0----0---|---2---|---0---|---0---0----0---0---|
A|------------|---0---|---2---|--------------------|
E|---3----3---|-------|-------|---5---3----5---3---|
The structure of the verse is like this:
Part A
Part B
Part A
Part B
Part C
Part B
Part C
Part B
After this you play the intro again, and repeat the whole thing.
Chorus (have you forgotten how to love yourself):
e|---8---|--(7)--|--(5)--|--(3)--|--(0)--|--(3)--|--(5)--|--(7)--|
C|---0---|---0---|---0---|---0---|---0---|---0---|---0---|---0---|

A|--(7)--|--(5)--|--(3)--|--(2)--|---3---|--(2)--|--(3)--|--(5)--|
E|---8---|---7---|---5---|---3---|---1---|---3---|---5---|---7---|
That's pretty much all of the acoustic parts in the song, hopefully someone else can
figure out the slide guitar parts, all I have bothered to figure out is
e|---3-3-3-1-0---3---------|
C|-------------2---2s4-0---|
G|-------------------------|
