Whiskey for Everybody  Gary Jules

 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The recorded version has two fingerpicked guitars playing at once. I didn't
try to figure that out, but instead tried to make a nice single-guitar
version with the proper chord voicings and a similar playing style.
Standard tuning, capo on 3rd fret
 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intro/Verse - play the verse pattern once as an intro:
[G]"From the air the fields[Em] east of Dublin look[Am7] just like a [Dsus2]watercolor"
[G]"When the streets arise[Em] up to meet the plan[Am7]e nobody [Dsus2]notices"
[G] [Em] [Am7] [Dsus2]

 |---4-------|---0-------|-----0-----|-----0-------0---|
 |-5---------|-2---------|---2-------|---4-----------4-|
 |-----------|-----------|-0---------|-5---------------|
 |-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------------|

Chorus Part 1 - link the end of the C pattern into the Am7:
"That [Am7]I miss your [Dsus2]face more than [G]anything in the [C]world"
"And [Am7]I miss your [Dsus2]face more than [G]anything in the [C]world"
[Am7] [Dsus2] [G] [C]

Here's an alternative to the above C pattern, that I like:

"Cause [Am7]I miss your [Dsus2]face more than [G]anything in the [C]world"
[Am7]"And I miss your[Dsus2] face more than [G]anything in the [C]world"
Chorus Part 2 - this time around it goes into the bridge section:
[Am7]"Whiskey for[Dsus2] everybody[Am7] whisper the [Dsus2]words before you're"
Bridge:
"[G]Out the [D6]door [Em]again"
[G] [D6] [Em]

Verse:
[G]"From the fields the air[Em] over Dublin looks[Am7] just like a [Dsus2]watercolor"
[G]"And even in [Em]empty arms[Am7] I feel the [Dsus2]weight of you"
Chorus:
"Oh [Am7]I miss your [Dsus2]face more than [G]anything in the [C]world"
[Am7]"I miss your[Dsus2] face more than [G]anything"[C]
[Am7]"Whiskey for [Dsus2]everybody,[Am7] to us and to [Dsus2]all we left be[G]hind"[F]
"when [G]we"[F]
"left [G]home"
The last G is not arpeggio, but a single gentle pluck:
|-[G]--|
|---|
|-4-|
|-5-|

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it. There are many slight fingerpicking variations you can try
to fill it out a bit. Experiment, make it your own, and have fun with
this beautiful song.
