Dropkick Murphys - Surrender

surrender – the dropkick murphys

i did the chords for this song a while back and i’ve yet to figure out the intro
and fill , so i’ll give you guys this .

i tried my best with positioning the chord names over where they are to be played ,
but i’m sure everyone will get the point .

the way i pick the lead guitar is : ( for A# to F to G# )

| – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – – x – – x – – x – – – – – x –
| – x – – – x – – x – – x – – – – – x – – – x – – x – – x – – – – – x – basically pick the –
| – x – – – x – – x – – x – – – – – x – – – x – – x – – x – – – – – x – – higher half of the chord ,
| – x – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – x – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – x – then the lower half once ,
| – x – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – x – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – – – then the entire next chord .
| – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – – – – – – – – – – – x – – – –

intro :

A# – – F – – G# – – D#

A# – – F – – G# – – D# – – A#

A# F
i was at my weakest state
F G#
and you kept pushing me on
G# D#
you gave me something to believe in
D# A#
and it keeps me standing strong
A# F
these lessons that i’ve learned
F G#
these things i’ll carry on
G# D#
and when you’re gone i’ll honor you
D# D#
each day , however long

A#
this glimmer of hope was never enough
F
to guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
G#
i held out for and i received
D#
a pain that never left with no reprieve
A#
like a toast at a table where resentments run free
F G# D#
there can’t be any truth where there’s no honesty

A# F
like an apple from the tree
F G#
you were lock jawed in your ways
G# D#
a reminder of myself in those long forgotten days
A# F
thought you’d stayed off my path
F G# D#
but i just couldn’t see that the blood that’s in your veins
D#
is the same that runs through me

A#
this glimmer of hope was never enough
F
to guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
G#
i held out for and i received
D#
a pain that never left with no reprieve
A#
like a toast at a table where resentments run free
F G# D# F
there can’t be any truth where there’s no honesty

G# D#
i had it all but lost my faith
A# F
and then you lead me to it
G# D# F
today i’ll carry on
G# D#
i had it all but lost my faith
A# F
and now i’ve renewed it
G# D#
these things i’ll carry on
