Burden in my hand chords ver. 3 Chords & Tabs | Burden in my hand chords ver. 3 Guitar Chords

Most of the tabs for this song seem to be pretty good, but I am far too lazy to retune my guitar too often (or at all...), and I dont have a capo to use with the ver 2 chords tab. So this is rough transcription of that tab (with a some help from the great guitar pro tab) into some barre chords for standard tuning. Not a perfect tab by any means, but great for strumming away with an acoustic guitar without much bother. Major credit must go to the author of chords ver 2, I've pulled some stuff straight from that and changed the chord names. Chords: EADGBe C - x35553 D#- x68886 A#- 688766 G - 355433 G#- 466544 F#- 244322 F - 133211 Verses : The verses all follow the same pattern. Listen to the song to figure out the exact timings, this is just a rough guide.

^CFollow me in^D#to the desert As th^A#irsty as you ar^Ce ^CCrack a smile and c^D#ut your mouth And d^A#rown in alcohol ^C

And so on and so forth. Now, the trick is to hit the low string/s (i'm very lazy!) twice each time you make a chord change. 'duh duh strum strum strum'. Except maybe on that second C in each section, it just sounds like strumming to me. Listen to the song, you'll figure it out! Pre Chorus: This is a little tricky. There are some odd timings here. Having the song is helpful, but I strongly recommend the Guitar Pro tab, its really good for figuring out the timing of the last bit. This from the chords ver 2 tab seems to work well enough:

^D#Oh no^C ^D#There she g^Coes

Then the tricky bit: D# C D# C CC D# C D# C CC D# C CC D# C CC G D# C Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine Chorus: This is a good chorus, with that great little descending tune after each line. Again, this is very rough timing for the chord changes, listen to song! Its pretty simple here.

^CI shot my l^A#ove today wo^G#uld you cr^D#y for me^A# ^F# ^F ^CI lost my h^A#ead again wo^G#uld you li^D#e for me^A# ^F# ^F ^CI left her ^A#in the sand ^G#just a bur^D#den in my h^A#and^F# ^F ^CI lost my h^A#ead again wo^G#uld you cr^D#y for me^A# ^F# ^F

At the end of playing the A# slide down to the G#. Then continue to play the G# as per the song. Bridge: Taken pretty much from chords ver 2 Play each chord 3 times

^CJust a burden in my ^D#hand ^CJust an anchor on my ^G#heart J^Cust a tumor in my h^G#ead ^A# ^F# ^F

Last chorus - repeat the second part of the last line; thats the part from G# onwards ('would you cry for me'). Then right at the end, it sounds like another C D# C, like in the prechorus. Thats it! Well, not really, but from there you can figure it out, and be as accurate or as lazy as you please. Hope this helps someone, I really just wanted to play that great chorus riff without re-tuning and such.
