Spell Of Ambition by The Avett Brothers
Spell Of Ambition
Also, during the "my words" section, Seth does a straightforward walkdown on the C chord to the G.
Standard - CAPO 5
G Bm Em
I fell under the spell of ambition
C G
And not even for money
Bm Em
Just to have a chance to listen
C
To the back rows
G
Say honey,
D7 C D7
You’re surely worth the price of a ticket
G Bm Em
Then with nerve and such pretension
C G
I used religion
Bm Em C G
To explain a vision and this blessed position
D C D
To be an object of affection
C G C C
My words feel so plain
C G C C
And rehearsed when I say
D7
Would you forgive me?
G Bm Em
Is the fury of the mother
C G
Does it not live in the daughter?
Bm Em
Is the darkness of the son
C G
Not seen in the father?
D C
I cast a perfect mask
D
But why bother?
G Bm Em
Cause whatever girl I run with
C G
Or at least am in love with
Bm Em
Will have to ask herself
C G
What can I put up with?
D C D
And do I call him stranger or husband?
C G C C
My words feel so plain
C G C C
And rehearsed when I say
D7
Would you forgive me?
C G G/F# Em
Would you let it roll off your shoulders?
C G
Would you let it fall to the ground?
C G G/F# Em
Let me know when it’s ooover
Am D7
So I can set it down
G Bm Em
I fell under the spell of ambition
C G
And not even for glory
Bm Em
Just to have the room’s attention
C G
And tell my story
D C D7
And let them sort the sadness out for me
C G C C
And my words feel so plain
C G C C
And rehearsed when I say
D
Would you forgive me?
C
Would you forgive me?
D7
Would you forgive me?
