This song really isn't that hard, the rhythm is probaly the

hardest part, knowing where to stop and all, but this is easily

picked up off the record.

(I usually play these chords they way they are in the tab,

but they can be played other ways without making much

difference.)

Song starts off with an arpeggiated Am chord like this:

(standard tuning)

---------------------

--------(1)----------

-------2-------------

-----2---------------

---0-----------------

---------------------

And then jumps into the chord progression of Am-C-G-F, which

seems to be continued throughout the song.

The chords in the intro go something like this

Am C G F

Am * C G (rest)

* there's a little "walk up" right here to the C, so the chord

isn't quite played all the way, like this.

The time between the C note and the rest of the

chord is very small. The G chord is hit almost

right after the C, so there shouldn't be more than

2 strums of the C.

-----------------3--3------

----1------------3--3------

----2------------0--0------

----2-----------2---0------

----0---0--2--3------------

--------------------3------

This really isn't all that important, the song will sound just

the same w/o it.

Just keep the same rhythm as in the intro for the verses of the

song, all of the rests fall after the G chord. For the little

breakdown part towards the end the lyrics and chords go like

this. (This is my best guess at the timing, but again it's real

easy to pick up off the record)

Am C

And my feet are so cold

G F

And I can't believe that I have to bang my head against this

Am C G F

wall again But the blows they have just a little more

Am C

space in between them

G F (start strumming again)

gonna take a breath and try and try again

The song then jumps into the Am-C-G-F progression after the word

"again" for the rest of the song.

I haven't tried to figure out the mandolin parts yet, but they're

definately in A minor (I think....)

This is a really good song.

The lyrics are in the album, so I don't see any need to put them

here.
