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
G
And she lays down on her bedroom floor
D
The chemicals that make her laugh
G
Don't seem to be working anymore
G
She tries her best, but it hurts her chest
D
And even though her son is gone
G
She'd like to love her child nevertheless
Just repeat that for all the verses.
Chorus
(The Chorus is where it gets a bit tricky, here's my interpretation of it)
D G E
And I don't think that's asking for too much
Am D G E C
And when I go to sleep it's when she begins to weep
Cm D Dmaj7
She's appalled by not loving me at all
C D
She wears a frown and dressing gown
G
When she lays down
(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
