Tuning:

This is the closing song on the 1975's new album. Beautiful acoustic track. It's all finger-picking so I'll just give a rough outline of the pattern played throughout the verse and the chords for the chorus. [Intro/Verse] e|--------------------3---------------------------------------------3---------| B|----/3---1----0-------------0-----------------1------------0----------------| G|-----0---0----0-------------------------0-----------0-----------------------| D|----------------------------------0h2---------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------3------3------3-----------3-----3------------3-------------| It's not exactly what he's playing but just mess around with something like this during the verse andyou should sound good. If you want to strum just strum a G and hammer on the 2nd fret on the D string every once in a while. Third line of the verse (The Chemicals that make her laugh... Even though her son is gone... She just wants to feel something... etc.) it change to a D then Back to a G, something like this: [Verse]

And she lays ^Gdown on her bedroom floor The ^Dchemicals that make her laugh Don't seem to be working any^Gmore She tries her ^Gbest, but it hurts her chest And ^Deven though her son is gone She'd like to love her child neverthe^Gless

Just repeat that for all the verses. [Chorus] (The Chorus is where it gets a bit tricky, here's my interpretation of it)

^DAnd I don't think that's asking for too ^Gmuch ^E ^AmAnd when I go to ^Dsleep ^Git's when ^Eshe begins to ^Cweep She's ^Cmappalled by not ^Dloving me at ^Dmaj7all ^CShe wears a frown and dressing ^Dgown When she lays ^Gdown

(The most important thing is the play the chorus with a sort of descending bass line so I finger the chords something like this) She's Appalled by not loving me at all e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------3---------3-------------------------| G|-----------------0----------0---------------------------------------------------| D|-----------1-----------1--------------4----------4------------------------------| A|--------3-----3-----3-----3--------5-----5----5-----5-----4---------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| So here's the chords for the entire song: [Verse 1]

And she lays ^Gdown on her bedroom floor The ^Dchemicals that make her laugh Don't seem to be working ^Ganymore

[Verse 2]

She tries her ^Gbest, but it hurts her chest And ^Deven though her son is gone She'd like to love her child neverthe^Gless

[Verse 3]

My hair is ^Gbrown, she's scared to touch And ^Dshe just wants to feel something And I don't think that's asking for too ^Gmuch ^E

[Chorus 1]

^AmAnd when I go to ^Dsleep ^Git's when ^Eshe begins to ^Cweep She's ^Cmappalled by not ^Dloving me at ^Dmaj7all She wears a ^Cfrown and dressing ^Dgown When she lays ^Gdown

[Verse 4]

Well we got a ^Gplane, going to see my dad again She ^Dprayed that we fell from the sky Simply to alleviate the ^Gpain

[Verse 5]

Over the ^Gwater, hmm Over terrain The ^Dengines all go bust, we turned to dust And I've no reason to ^Gcomplain, ^Eyeah

[Chorus 2]

^AmAnd in the end, she chose ^Dcocaine ^GBut it ^Ecouldn't fix her ^Cbrain She's ^Cmappalled oh she doesn't ^Dlove me at ^Dmaj7all She wears a ^Cfrown and dressing ^Dgown When she lays ^Gdown

The 1975 - She lays down
