Dear Chicago
Ryan Adams
Text File
From the Demolition album.
There are various ways I've seen of playing this, depends where you have/put a
capo and I'm not sure how Ryan himself does it, but this is one way at least.
Capo 4th fret
Chords used, relative to capo:
C - X32010
F - 133211
Am - X02210
Asus4 - X02230
Em - 022000
G - 320033
Intro: (C)
The C's are played with hammer ones like this:
e|----0----0-------------------0----0-----------------|

G|----0----0h2--and sometimes--0----0-----------------|
D|----0h2--0-------------------0h2--2-----------------|
A|----3----3-------------------3----3-----------------|

There are a few hammers on etc on other chords, such as
the F occasionally, but its nothing unusual, the usual
bits used with those chords.
C
Dear Chicgo
You'll never guess
You know the girl you said I'd meet some day
Well I got something to confess
F
She picked me up on Friday
Asked me if she reminded me of you
C
I just laughed and lit a cigarette
Said that's impossible to do
F
Life's gotten simple since
And it fluctuates so much
C
Happy and sad and back again
I'm not crying out to much
F
Think about you all the time
It's strange and hard to deal
C
Think about you lying there
Those blankets lie so still
Am
Nothing breathes here in the cold
Nothing moves or even smiles
F
I've been thinking some of suicide
But theres bars out here for miles
Am
Sorry about the every kiss
Every kiss you wasted bad
F
I think the thing you said was true
C
I'm going to die alone and sad
C
The wind's feeling real these days
Baby, it hurt's me some
Never thought I'd feel so blue
New York City, you're almost gone
Asus4 Em F G
think that I've fallen out of love
Asus4 Em F G
think that I've fallen out of love
Asus4 Em F G
I think that I've fallen out of love
C
With you
Thats it. You may have a different way of playing it, but I
think this way works with the capo in place. I'm not to sure
about the Asus4 etc part, so any comments on that or the rest
of it to correct are welcome.
