( the high E sounds muted for most of the song . )

when he plays the Em6 chord he adds and removes a finger on the G string .
this is hard to explain so i’ll show you , as this is repeated throughout the song .

Em6 C F/C ( 4x )

Em6
dug up a fifth of hood river gin
C
that stuff tastes like medicine
F/C C
but i’ll take it
Em6
it’ll do
Em6
on the couch in the living room all day long
C
music on the television playing our song
F/C C
i’m in the mood
Em6
the mood for you

Em6 C F ( 2x )

Em6
turn the volume up real high
C
all of that money look at it fly
F/C C Em6
and you smoking like a chimney
Em6
shadows crawled across the living room’s length
C
i held onto you with a desperate strength
F/C C Em6
with everything with everything in me
D C
and i handed you a drink of a lovely little thing
Em6
on which our survival depends
D C
people say friends don’t destroy one another
D
what do they know about friends?

Em6 C F/C ( 4x )

Em6
thunderclouds forming cream white moon
C
everything’s going to be okay soon
F/C C
maybe tomorrow
Em6
maybe the next day
Em6
carried you up the stairs that night
C
all of this could be yours if the price is right
F/C C
i heard cars headed down to oblivion
Em6
up on the expressway
D
your drunken kisses as light as the air
C Em6
maybe everything that falls down eventually rises
D
our house sinking into disrepair
C Em6
ah but look at this showroom filled with fabulous prizes

Em6 C F/C
