Hey guys, I just heard this song a little while ago, and I really liked it. Although
is the only Civil Wars song I'd heard, I decided to give it a shot and learn it by ear.
what I came up with.
Intro/Verse chords:
Dm, Am, Dm, Am, Dm, Am, E7, and then this sequence ends on this chord:
"E4/7(11)"e|--x----|B|--10---|G|--7----|D|--7----|A|--7----|E|--x----|
However, note that this whole song is fingerpicked, so that only certain notes of each
is emphasized. In the E7 chord, the guitarist actually does a little slide up from the Am
then fingerpicks the E7 so that it looks like this:
e|------------------|B|--------9-10~-----|G|--------7---------|D|------9---7~~-----|A|--5/7-----7~~-----|E|------------------| ---E7---- E4/7(11-|
So there you go. There are little variations for the E7 to E4/7(11) ending in the verse,
I'm not gonna tab that crap out.
For the chorus, it's pretty simple:
Dm, Am, E, Am, Dm, Am, E
... and that's it. Keep in mind that these chords are played up on the neck, not in open
For example, the E chords here are not played as
e|-0-|G|-0-|B|-1-|D|-2-|A|-2-|E|-0-|
but as
e|-x-|G|-9-|B|-9-|D|-9-|A|-7-|E|-x-|
So that's it! Please comment and tell me what you think, and keep in mind this is my
attempt at a tablature. Thanks!
