The Avett Brothers - The New Love Song

this song is beautiful and i Am going to give you the chords . i would tab
it , because i have all of the licks that are built around the chords
figured out , but tabbing is so much more of a pain in the ass . i will tab
the main lick thing where there is no singing . the rest will just be chords .

standard tuning . capo 2 accent the bass notes of each chord . that is
important for this style of country – folk stuff .

chords :

G G/F# Em Em/B C D/F#

ps : this might seem weird since so few words are sang over so many chords ,
so just listen to the song its very easy ( and beautiful ) . the chords will
not be over the lyrics in the right spot .

G G/F# Em Em/B C ( repeat this progression over and over )
elegant and soft
G G/F# Em Em/B C
feminine as you ought
G G/F# Em Em/B C
one with earth and one with god
G G/F# Em Em/B C
won’t you please forgive me?

play the chord progression twice as a break
G G/F# Em Em/B C
as the daylight sinks
G G/F# Em Em/B C
as i fail to stop and think
G G/F# Em Em/B C
once i’ve cursed the things i’ve done
G G/F# Em Em/B C
won’t you please forgive me?
G G/F# Em Em/B C
won’t you please forgive me?

play this twice . ( this is a mixture of two guitars )
