D/B: Barre the A,D, & G strings with your Index @ 2nd fret. Ring @ B string, 3rd fret.
Middle @ E string, 2nd fret.
Follow a similar picking pattern for the verses, but simpler. This is, in my mind, one of
the greatest acoustic songs ever. There are bass runs on the D throughout the song similar
to those tabbed above. Enjoy. Chris.
Verse 1.
They were hi[D]ding behind hay bales, they were pla[G]nting in the f[D]ull moon
They had giv[D/C#]en all they[D/B] had for som[D/A]ething n[G]ew[A]
But the li[D]ght of day was on them, they could s[G]ee the thrashers co[D]ming
And the water[D/C#] shone like di[D/B]amonds[D/A] in the d[G]ew.[A] [G]
And I was just get[A]ting up, hit the r[D]oad before it?s li[G]ght
A D Dmaj7 (alternating)
Tryin? to catch an hour on the sun.
When I s[G]aw those thrashers ro[A]llin? by, looking m[D]ore than [D/C#]two lanes [D/B]wide[D/A]
I was fe[G]elin like my [Em7]day had just be[A]gun

those words!
