Dear Chicago Tab

by Ryan Adams


From the Demolition album.

There are various ways I've seen of playing this, depends where you have/put a
capo and I'm not sure how Ryan himself does it, but this is one way at least.

Capo 4th fret

Chords used, relative to capo:

 - X32010
F - 133211
 - X02210
 - X02230
Em - 022000
G - 320033

The C's are played with hammer ones like this:

There are a few hammers on etc on other chords, such as
the F occasionally, but its nothing unusual, the usual
bits used with those chords.


Dear Chicgo


You'll never guess


You know the girl you said I'd meet some day


Well I got something to confess

                      
She picked me up on Friday


Asked me if she reminded me of you

       
I just laughed and lit a cigarette


Said that's impossible to do

                 
Life's gotten simple since


And it fluctuates so much


Happy and sad and back again


I'm not crying out to much

                
Think about you all the time


It's strange and hard to deal

                
Think about you lying there


Those blankets lie so still

             
Nothing breathes here in the cold


Nothing moves or even smiles

                          
I've been thinking some of suicide


But theres bars out here for miles

               
Sorry about the every kiss


Every kiss you wasted bad

                     
I think the thing you said was true

                                  
I'm going to die alone and sad


The wind's feeling real these days


Baby, it hurt's me some


Never thought I'd feel so blue


New York City, you're almost gone

                          
think that I've fallen out of love 

                          
think that I've fallen out of love 

                          
I think that I've fallen out of love 

     
With you


Thats it. You may have a different way of playing it, but I
think this way works with the capo in place. I'm not to sure
about the Asus4 etc part, so any comments on that or the rest
of it to correct are welcome.
