Mat Kearney – Down chords ver. 2

Down- Mat Kearney
Tabbed by: Iltrivosk
Tuning: Standard EADGBe (Capo 5th)

This is the chord sheet for the rhythm guitar. I realize there's a massively
intricate tab necessary for the lead guitar, but for right now, this is all
I've got. They're pretty basic chords, so just strum them all fully and
listen to the song for the pattern. Comment for any questions or corrections!

Am                        FAbout to have a daughter, he yells it in the air
C                         G6Feeling the weight of the world that just don't care
Am                  FHe lit a cigarette, felt it on his lip
C                 G6Driving home on a long road with regret
Am                        FHe rolls the window down, shouts it out loud
C                     G6                     AmPushing the pedal and praying "Lord, help us now"

             C                 GStanding our backs against the wall
           Am            FTop of our lungs, hallelujah
               C               GWhere pain and love bleed into one

Am                   FIt was Monday night, under the street lights
C                    G6She's turning seventeen in seven nights
Am                      FOut on the fairgrounds, walking in monotone
C                         G6She kicks a bottle that's empty as her soul
Am                     FOut on the road alone, in a house that's half a home
C                      G6                  AmThey give her pills to kill when she feels alone
G6                         G                     (stop)She's looking for a reason watching the sun going down

           Am            FTop of our lungs, hallelujah
               C               GWhere pain and love bleed into one
