[ Предположительная тональность: G ] I based this on the album version, but I got the bridge from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4Ygjt0_hKs In that video, it looks like where I have "B7" he is playing something different. However, I don't think it's D6, as you'll find in other tabs of this song. D6 just doesn't quite sound right when compared to either their live performances or the studio recording. I think B7 sounds better, but feel free to experiment and leave a comment with what you think sounds best :) Verse 1: G Em I lost my lucky ball & chain C D And now she's four years gone G Em Just five feet tall and sick of me C D G And all my rattling on G Em She threw away her baby-doll C D I held on to my pride G Em But I was young and foolish then C D G I feel old and foolish now. B7 [Give it a listen to get the strum down.] Chorus: C G Confidentially, she never called me baby-doll C G Confidentially, I never had much pride C G But now I rock a bar stool and I drink for two D C D Just pondering this time bomb in my mind. Verse 2: G Em I lost my lucky ball & chain C D And now she's four years gone G Em Just five feet tall and sick of me C D G And all my rattling on G Em She walked away from a happy man. C D I thought I was so cool. G Em I just stood there whistling C D G Em "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door C D G (strum 3 times and pause for a 1-beat rest.) There goes the bride as she walked out the door Bridge: [h = hammer on, but in live performances, he often just plucks them individually. The D7 moving up 3 frets is how they play it live; it's a little different on the album recording.] (D7) e|-------------|-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-11-11-11-11-|-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-11------| B|-------------|-1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7-10-10-10-10-|-1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7-10------| G|-------------|-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-11-11-11-11-|-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-11------| D|---------0h2-|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------| A|-----0h2-----|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------| E|--3----------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------| Verse 3: G Em I could shake my tiny fist C D And swear I wasn't wrong, G Em But what's the sense in arguing C D G When you're all alone? G Em Sure as you can't steer a train C D You can't change your fate G Em When she told me off that day C D G I knew I'd lost my home. B7 Chorus: C G Confidentially, she never called me baby-doll C G Confidentially, I never had much pride C G But now I rock a bar stool and I drink for two D C D Just pondering this time bomb in my mind. Repeat 2nd verse: G Em I lost my lucky ball & chain C D And now she's four years gone G Em Just five feet tall and sick of me C G And all my rattling on G Em She walked away from a happy man. C D I thought I was so cool. G Em I just stood there whistling C D G Em "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door C D G Em There goes the bride as she walked out the door C D G There goes the bride as she walked out the door. [The song fades out on the album; in the live performances they usually end on G. I like to end by strumming G three times, like in the video I linked at the top.]
