None of them
Hey guys! Thought I'd post how I play this amazing song. CAPO on the 2nd fret. The shapes used are C, Dm (or Dm7), E7, F, and Am. Where I put Dm, a Dm7 also sounds good. It's a matter of preference, just play around with it. Right before the chorus (on the G major chord), walk the bassline up from G to C. On the chorus it also sounds good if you leave the G in the bass for the C major chord. C Dm C Dm C Well I traced shapes in clouds and I saw things I'd never seen Dm We moved like renegades down interstates, reload that magazine C Almost killed us in that city, it was far too close to call Dm So we put money in the bags, ripped wanted posters off the wall C Say I'm wanted for the murder of a man I've never seen Dm They say I shot him dead, one to his head, somewhere in Holly Springs C May have killed a man before, but not the one that they exclaim Dm G They'll see the barrel of my gun before they ever see me hang C E7 F Am Oh if my southern heart's still pumping blood (still pumping blood) C E7 F Am Well I'll bury my money in the mighty Mississippi mud (Mississippi mud) C E7 F Am Oh and if my southern lungs won't let me breathe (won't let me breathe) C E7 Well I'll wait for the cicadas and I'll let 'em push it out for me C Well death is always close, there's always vultures on my trail Dm And the inside of this hotel's better than a prison cell C Well that southern whiskey's stinging, singing words upon my breath Dm I was worried 'bout forgetting, so I tattooed it on my chest C I'm a southern man forever, like the wind inside the pines Dm And my grandma used to sing it, oh to my brother and I C How I wish I could get back those precious thoughts and newer skin Dm G And we scurried out the window, 'fore the cops they busted in Chorus Solo (Tabbed at bottom) C We were messengers for millions We're a midnight masquerade Dm We can walk away from all this as the town goes up in flames C As civilians in a war, we can die right where we live Dm Well you can walk away from all this, go back home to see your kids C I've got a knife inside my boot Yes my brother's got one too Dm Yeah bring 'em on, let's have a ball Not nothing to lose C I've got hearts that bend and wings that shake, no one there could see Dm G No one there was going faster, no it doesn't bother me Chorus Here's the solo I don't think it's exactly what Sam is doing, but it's pretty good. I'm not sure what he does at the end so I just play a double stop somewhere.
