View Guitar Chords for Every thug needs a lady acoustic - chords ver. 1
The Alkaline Trio were the band that started it all for me. Many times I have tried to cover a song and many times I have failed until I stumbled across a YouTube video of the band playing a intimate Record Shop Acoustic session. The song Every Thug Needs a Lady starts at 23:55. The video is here for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oaqr1rF3No This is the kind of Acoustic I like to play so I got straight on with transcribing. I'm pretty much certain I have this nailed and it sounds sick! Tuning in the video is a step down but if you're just playing it live you can leave it standard or like I do capo up on 2nd. The Chord names are just there for reference but these are the actual finger positions. On the D Chord I like to hang my thumb over the neck to mute the E string. Moving your ring finger around between the 1st, and 3rd frets on the B string lets you play the lead on the intro too which takes a little practice but definitly adds a more dynamic sound. Hope it all makes sense :) G 32003x Asus4 x0223x D5 x0023x Em7 02203x Cadd2 x3203x Bm#5 x2003x Intro Riff (G, Asus4, Em7, Cadd2)I know it's Gdark here, you know that Asus4I'm scared too For Em7some reason right now, of Cadd2everything but youGRight now you're D5all that I Crecognize You know I Gcame here when I Asus4needed your soft voiceI Em7needed to hear something that Cadd2sounded like an answer Now I Gwait here, and D5sometimes I Cadd2get oneBRIDGED5It's nothing I'll Cadd2forget when the moon gets tired D5You are stuck to me everyCadd2dayD5 Cadd2 Bm#5 Em7 Believe in what I am because it's all I have today Cadd2 D5 G Bm#5 Em7 And tomorrow who knows where we'll be Cadd2 Bm#5 Asus4 Cadd2 D5 G From here I can hardly see a thingBut Cadd2I will follow Em7anyone who brings me to Cadd2you Bm#5 Asus4 Cadd2 D For now, forever, for on and on and onIntro Riff again (G, Asus4, Em7, Cadd2)You know it Gstarts here, outside Asus4waiting in the cold Kiss me Em7once in the snow, I swear it Cadd2never gets oldBut I will Gpromise you I can D5make it warmer Cadd2next year You know I Gcame here when I Asus4needed your soft voiceI Em7needed to hear something that Cadd2sounded like an answer Now I Gstay here, and D5everyday I Cadd2get oneBRIDGED5It's nothing I'll Cadd2forget when the moon gets tired D5You are stuck to me everyCadd2dayD5 Cadd2 Bm#5 Em7 Believe in what I am because it's all I have today Cadd2 D5 G Bm#5 Em7 And tomorrow who knows where we'll be Cadd2 Bm#5 Asus4 Cadd2 D5 G From here I can hardly see a thingBut Cadd2I will follow Em7anyone who brings me to Cadd2you Bm#5 Asus4 Cadd2 D For now, forever, for on and on and onIntro Riff again (G, Asus4, Em7, Cadd2)So go Gplug in your eD5lectric Cadd2blanket We can Gstay in 'till our D5southern summer Cadd2wedding dayGo Gplug in your eD5lectric Cadd2blanket D5We can Gstay D5here Cadd2 D5 GThanks for checking out the tab.
