So I have seen a few tabs for this now played using the capo up on the 10th fret.
Thi is not only difficult, but totally unnecessary. The way I have transcribed the
song is much easier and also will improve tonality. Enjoy!
CAPO - 3RD FRET
Chords used:
Am7 - (x02213)
Fm7 - (xx3213)
Cadd9 - (x32013)
G - (320033)
Remember, Jason applies hammer ons librally, usually on the second lowest string of each chord
VERSE:
Am7 | Fm7 | Cadd9 | G | Am7 | Fm7 | Cadd9 | G
A lonely yellow light gets swallowed by the morning in New Hampshire
And casts a shadow on the pavement where we used to walk together, yeah, yeah.
But in a small town made of hills and trees and streams
All you've got to believe -- it is what you dream.
Fm7 | Cadd9 | G | G
I know she will make it, somehow....
CHORUS:
Am7 | Fm7 | Cadd9 | G
'Cause she is from New Hampshire, yeah
She said she wants to see it all
Putting on her make-up
She's making her last telephone call
She says she's leaving me now
My eyes are are following the lines that lead away from ole New Hampshire, yeah
'Cause she's gone out of view and taken with her clarity and laughter...
Put in a big town made of hard and scary things,
All you've got to believe -- and it is what you dream.
I know she will make it, somehow...
(Chorus)
'Cause she is from New Hampshire, yeah
She said she wants to see it all
Putting on her make-up
She's making her last telephone call
She says she's leaving..
Fm7 | Am7
Why is growing up so bad for love?
Cadd9 | G | Fm7 | Am7
It only takes us further from what means the most to me
Cadd9 | G
The most in us has gone away...
OUTRO:
Am7 | Fm7 | Cadd9 | G |
But she is from New Hampshire
She said she wants to see it all
Putting on her make-up
She's making her last telephone call
She says she's leaving me now
She says she's leaving me now
She says she's leaving me now
New Hampshire
New Hampshire...
