This song is in the key of C. To make it sound like the record, you need to tune to drop D, then tune everything down a full step. Please don't comment that my chord chart is completely wrong when you didn't read the above notice. It should look like this: E tuned to D B tuned to A G tuned to F D tuned to C A tuned to G E tuned to C Chords used: D5: Csus4: G: C: A: D-x D-1 D-3 D-x D-x A-3 A-1 A-3 A-5 A-2 F-2 F-0 F-0 F-5 F-2 C-0 C-3 C-0 C-5 C-2 G-0 G-3 G-x G-x G-0 C-0 C-x C-5 C-x C-x Intro: D5 Verse 1:

^D5Read it in the paper, marked^Csus4 the date on the wall To re^Gmind myself to celebrate t^D5he day I lose it all They mad^D5e plans to be together. I ^Csus4made plans to be alone. She got ^Ga rock, ^C ^G I'm g^D5ettin' stoned.

Verse 2:

Damn^D5 right I've got objections,^Csus4 but it's awful too late now. Yea the^G cans are on the limo and ^D5the rice is on the ground. They're^D5 headed for the islands, but h^Csus4ell I'm already gone. She got ^Ga rock, ^C ^G I'm getti^D5n' stoned

Chorus:

Here's t^Go happy ever after, a^D5nd here's to balls and chains. A C* D5 Here's to all us haters of old lovers' new last names. ^GHere's to holdin' up and getti^D5n' right where^G I belong. She got a^G rock, ^C ^G I'm ^D5gettin' stoned.

*You don't have to play this C, but I think it's outlined by the other instruments Verse 3:

Chorus:

Here's to^G happy ever after, a^D5nd here's to balls and chains. A C* D5 Here's to all us haters of old lovers' new last names. ^GHere's to holdin' up and getti^D5n' right where ^GI belong. She got a^G rock, ^C ^G I'm^D5 gettin' stoned.

*You don't have to play this C, but I think it's outlined by the other instruments Guitar Solo: G D5 G D5 G D5 A D5 Tag:

So to^G hell with her and him and that white^D5 horse they rode ou^Gt on She got a^G rock, ^C ^G I'm ge^D5ttin' stoned Yea she got a^G rock, ^C Haha I'^D5m gettin' stoned.

Outro: Vamp on D5 *Note* If you prefer, you can play the F/C in place of the Csus4 throughout the song. I think the open note sounds better, and is what is being played on the album. Try both and you'll agree it's very hard to tell. The F/C looks like this: D-1 A-1 F-2 C-3

^G-3C-X
