Verse 1
D 
The ashtray says
You were up all night
G 
When you went to bed
Gm 
With your darkest mind
D 
Your pillow wept
And covered your eyes
G 
And you finally slept
Gm 
While the sun caught fire
D 
You've changed

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
