the technique used is travis picking , which is very extensively used in country ,
american folk and bluegrass music . worth checking out some lessons on it if youre not already
familiar , very adaptive and useful style of playing chords and relatively easy to get
into . it takes practise though : – )

so , here it is :

C G Am
i can’t spare a moment for the dog faced boy
F G C
i won’t lend another hand to the worm girl of hanoi
E7 Am
don’t deplete my oxygen for the guy who’s turning blue
C G C
but ask me , and i’ll do anything for you

C G G7
whenever i think of you it only makes me feel sad
C
whenever i think of you , the best friend i ever had . . .
A# F C
before i gave it up all for nothing

C ( alternating C/G bass )
well , i lied and i cheated
C G G7
and it made me feel bad
it made me feel guilty for not being true
oh the months i spend trying for a way to explain
C
in the end all i could do as turn my head in shame

C C7 F D7
whenever i think of you , oh darling , it only makes me feel sad
G7
because you deserve better and once i was it
C
but somehow my good intentions just got up and git

F G C
so i cant spare a moment on the dog faced boy
F G C
i wont lend another hand to the worm girl of illinois
E7 Am F
i cant deplete my oxygen for the one guy whos turning blue
C G C
but ask me , and i`ll do anything for you
