Forgiveness Chords

(ver. 1)
Patty Griffin
CAPO 4


To get the sound  your gonna have to hammer on and pulloff 

INTRO: C  Am7    G   F  C  2x  

VERSE:
       Am7               G             F             C      Am7  G  F  C
We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well
   Am7           G            F                 C     Am7  G  F  C
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
           Am7            G              F           C   Am7  G  F  C
But we are not snakes and what's more we never will be 
           Am7               G               F          C  Am7  G  F  C
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free 

                        G                   C  
I heard 'em ringin' the bells in heaven and hell
             G                            Am
They got a secret they're gettin ready to tell
                          F                   C    F   
Its fallin' from the skies, callin' from the graves
Am7        G         F            C  
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved
Am7        G         F            C   
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved

 
CHORUS:
                         F                       C
Let's take a walk on the bridge  right over this mess
                         G                          Am
Don't need to tell me a thing baby, we're already confessed
                            Dm                 C    F 
And I raise my voice to the air, and we were blessed 
F            C     F            C     
It's hard to give, It's hard to get
         F           C           G  C    Am7  G  F  C    C    Am7  G  F  C 
But everybody needs a little forgiveness     


VERSE:

        Am7               G          F            C   Am7  G  F  C
We are calling for help tonight on a thin phone line
   Am7          G                    F          C     Am7  G  F  C
As ususal we're havin' ourselves one helluva time
        Am7                     G                    
And the planes keep flyin' right over our heads 
         F              C     Am7   G    F     C  
No matter how loud we shout, Hey...Hey...Hey...
            Am7                               G                       
And we keep wavin' and wavin' our arms in the air 
                 F    C   Am7  G  F  C   
But we're all tired out
                             

                 G                 C  
I heard somebody say,  Today's the day
           G                            Am
A big old hurricane...she's blowin' our way
                  F                          C      F   
Knockin' over the buildings, Killin' all the lights
Am7        G             F                 C  
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night
Am7        G             F                 C  
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night


CHORUS:
                         F                       C
Let's take a walk on the bridge  right over this mess
                         G                          Am
Don't need to tell me a thing baby, we're already confessed
                            Dm                 C    F 
And I raise my voice to the air, and we were blessed 
F           C     F           C     
It's hard to give, It's hard to get
F           C          F                           C 
Its hard to live baby, still I think it's the best bet
        F         C            G              Am  
Hey now, hard to give, and I'm never gonna forget
          F           C           G  
But everybody needs a little forgiveness     
     F            C          G  C    Am7  G  F  C          
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
