As always, chord names are given as if no capo were used. The C and F chords, in the verses, are played with an added G note, played with the pinkie, on the first string. Technically, the C is still C (G being the dominant in the key of C) but the F becomes an Fadd9. For the intro, just strum the Fadd9 and C chords. It's easier than you think. If you listen to this intro on "TIC", you'll be able to nail it! This is a beautiful song. Enjoy! INTRO: Fadd9 C [play x3] C Fadd9 G VERSE: Fadd9 C Fadd9 C Here's to your garden, here's to your kids Fadd9 C I heard you were in the neighbourhood C Fadd9 G I've been a long time on the skids Fadd9 C Fadd9 C And baby I'm beside you Fadd9 C C Fadd9 G You run from the river when it long ran over you VERSE: Fadd9 C Fadd9 C This is for you standing up to a bone-chilling wind Fadd9 C C Fadd9 G This is for the failures you collected from my sins Fadd9 C Fadd9 C And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried Fadd9 C C Fadd9 G This is for your hanging in, in the hope that it never dies CHORUS: Dm Am G And baby I'm beside you Dm Am G You run from the river when it long ran over you VERSE: This is for you waiting up, though the call never came For the milk of human kindnesses you collected from our dream And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried This is for your hanging in, in the hope that it never dies CHORUS: And baby I'm beside you You run from the river when it long ran over you - yeah C Am G And now I'm running here beside you C Am G And now I'm running here beside you VERSE: This is for the traveller on a blinding desert road Good fortune smile upon you and may love be your only load And this is for the only one who could quell my burning rage To anyone who's been a broken man and anyone seen better days CODA: C Am G And now I'm running here beside you [x4] CHORDS: Fadd9 x03213 C x32013 G 320003 Dm x00231 Am x02210
