Sudden Oak Death

note: it may be easier to play this in Am with a capo on the 6th fret - Rosa

verse:                      chorus:
Am  F  C  Bm G              Am  G  F  Am | Am  G  F G Am

or you could transpose it down a half step to Dm

verse:                      chorus:
Dm  A#  F  Em C             Dm  C  A#  Dm | Dm  C  A# C Dm
--mike woj

i'm playing this with mostly power chords.

Ebm  B  F#  Fm C#

Ebm                         B
lose a little feeling in my fingers
F#                          Fm   C#
gain an edge of panic in my face
Ebm                             B
search for some sign to tell me just how long I've been here
F#            Fm  C#
overturn the place

feels like each time my efforts fail
the whole hillsides disapprove
feel like a man whose veins have frozen overnight
lying there, trying to move

              Ebm                 C#               
yeah when the crack sounds in the wood
          B                      Ebm
you will know that I'm down for good.
          Ebm                 C#
when the crack sounds in the wood
          B         C#                      Ebm
you will know, old friend, that I'm down for good.

I want to try to stand my ground,
dig my heels into the hills.
hope someone will come to right my balance
no one will.

feels like when I try to stretch my legs
everyone around me's trying too
so ready just to fall down, just to fall down and to stay down.
I don't wanna spoil the view.

yeah when the crack sounds in the wood
you will know that I'm down for good.
when the crack sounds in the wood
you will know, old friend, that I'm down for good.
