Decemberists - Foregone

so i’m not going to take the time to write out the lyrics and everything . i just really
like this song and didn’t see chords online anywhere .

key of A – major :

verse :
A | A | E | Dmaj7

prechorus/Chorus :
F#m | D | E | E7 | A

in the chorus , he plays the a with the lyric “foregone . ”

i haven’t tried this at all , but it sounds like the guitar is playing with a capo on the
2nd fret . so the transposed chords are
verse :
G | G | D | Cmaj7
chorus :
Em | C | D | D7 | G
it sounds like he plays the verse holding the 3rd fret of the highest 2 strings the
whole time ( so E and A ) . like this
– – – 3 – – – 3 – – – 3 – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – 3 – – – 3 – – – 3 – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – 0 – – – 0 – – – 2 – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – 0 – – – 0 – – – 0 – – – 2 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – 2 – – – 2 – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – 3 – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
so the D is more of A Dsus4 and C is like Cadd9 .

like i said , i haven’t played this at all , so if there’s anything wrong with it , let me know .
