Mockingbird Ryan Adams
Mockingbird by Ryan Adams, this song has a lot of noodling subtlety about it that i'v
gutted to get down a simple chord version, listen to the original and you might be able to
incorporate some of the nuances.
M[C#m]ockingbirds sing
Sing me what the L[E]ord was sin[A]ging
On the day[F#m] He made the w[C#m]ater
The col[A]or of the blue[E]s
Si[C#m]ng me that song
Sing me to till the he[E]avens ri[A]sing
On the day[F#m] He made the w[C#m]ater
The color of my [A]baby's ey[E]es

Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways she wants to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
But the w[E]ay I'm loving her
It must not be en[Bm]ough
Cause in the [A]way she c[E]ries
It only tears me[Bm] up
I feel dea[A]d inside and d[E]ying
And if you give up[C#m] [A]
Don't[E] give up on [Bm7]love[E]
Don't give up on[Bm7] love
"Exactly the same from here on out"
The rivers they run
They run until they get too tired
Until they run behind the houses
And they become a creek
When I was a child
I ran until the creek became a river
When it turned into the ocean
I wondered why He'd made it so deep
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
But the way I'm loving her
Must not be enough
Cause the way she cries
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
Don't give up
Cause in a way she's crying
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
Give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Sometimes it ain't enough
Sometimes it ain't enough
But don't give up on love
