Great song, absolutely love the acoustic sessions.

The song follows a variation of these chords:

[-] [-] [(D] [-] [C#/D)] [-]
Note for beginners: The C#/D is simply the D chord with the root note taken down half a
step (one fret).
So for a bar chord simply slide down one fret on the A string.
Open chord D will require a pinky/ring finger on the 4th fret of the A string.
Muting the D string will give best results, or you can just add 4th fret d string as well.

This can be played as bar chords or open chords. However to get the similar sound it can
be played with the “chords” below.

x x x [C#/D]x x
x x x x x
x x x x x
x x x x x
10 4 9 9 5
12 5 10 9 7

I must stress that you don’t have to stick to this, add your own notes in and it will
sound great

example:

x
x
x
10

etc etc, mix it up, make it your own.

basic tab of how to play:

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|-12-12----12-12-12-12----12-5-5---5-5-5---5-10-10---10-9-9---9-7-7---7-7-7---7-|

Repeat throughout entire song. Simple chords for a simple song for a simple love.

Lyrics:

This is a song for my simplest love
A simple song for a simplest love
Her eyes are green, her hair is brown
This is a song for my simplest love

A constant song for a constant love
No difficult chords, easy to play
A simple song for a simplest love
Her eyes are green, her hair is brown

Enjoy

Note: the Bb in the chorus could also be Bbsus4.

[(1)]
Once upon a time I was the hurricane boy
There was no eye in me for you to hide
Head low don’t show oceans in my eyes
As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow

[(2)]
Daddy’s on the mountain yellin’ at the bloody sky
Mama’s in the mirror actin out another life
Children in the schoolyard singin’ ‘everybody dies’
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin sentimental lies.

[(1)]
Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
But Shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder CLAP!
All hail to death’s boy-wonder

[(2)]
JJ’s in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
Mo’s thowin Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye
Tempermental yogis bakin merryweather pie
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin’ sentimental lies

(Chorus)
Sometimes said it’s suntime
Let it sunshine on my mind

(Outro)

Intro again and the chords are the same in the rest of the song.

[(1)]Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
And everyone I’ve known held my hands till they were clay
And the storm finally bled from my complexion

[(2)]Now Jadey’s on the mountain singing ‘We will never die’
The band is in the rainbow playin love for you and I
Heath is riding shotgun aimin at the paper sky
And I am only ‘I am’ now I’ve opened up my eye
I am only ‘I am’ that I’ve opened up my eye

(Chorus)
Sometimes said its suntime
Let it sunshine on my mind
Healing I need healing
A good feeling I can Shine
Feel it like you can see it
Like you can dream it in your mind
Sunny Hallelujah comin to ya
Rain or shine

I’m just saying its Conscience waiting
Cross the line

(Outro)
All the same its conscience waiting

Black water

Drippin down your face

Mountains in reconstitutions embrace

[—](Chorus)
Guns and steel

And the Germs of Love

Toe to Toe

In the world of Mud

Guns and Steel

And the Germs of Love

Blow for Blow

For my aching heart
[—]
(harmonica solo)

Black water

Spread your words on me

Waste me with a BANG

You know, for posterity

[—](Chorus)
Guns and steel

And the Germs of Love

Toe to Toe

In the world of Mud

Guns and Steel

And the Germs of Love

Blow for Blow

For my aching heart
