Hợp âm - tab: Don't Be Afraid - cảm âm - lời bài hát

NOTES:
1. Use barre chords (root on the E string) with a ska/reggae rhythm.
2. E should be played as a C-shaped barre chord (root on the A string).
3. These lyrics and chords/tab are only how I interpreted the song, so feel free to
experiment/substitute/comment/etc. if you disagree!
4. Enjoy!


VERSE 1:
[A]I took your pictures down and [C#]off the wall today
[A]Every time I look at them I [C#]think of yesterday
And I'm [D]sorry[Dm] but it's time I pack our life [A]away

VERSE 2:
[A]I thought about you when I [C#]made the bed today
[A]The left pillow untouched where [C#]your head used to lay
Don't be [D]sorry,[Dm] things will be better off this [A]way

CHORUS:
[A]Don't [C#]be a[D]fraid to [Dm]say how it is
[A]Don't [C#]be a[D]shamed of [Dm]crushing my dreams
[A]Though I [C#]feel [D]betrayed, I'm so [Dm]glad I met [A]you
[C#]Oh, oh, [D]oh... [Dm](etc.)

QUICK SAX/ORGAN RIFF:
[A] [C#] [D] [Dm]

VERSE 3:
[A]This is the hardest thing I've [C#]had to just accept
[A]Alcohol and cigarettes have [C#]filled the void you've left
And I'm [D]hungry[Dm] but I think I'll stay in bed [A]today

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
[D]I still remember the [Dm]first time I saw you
We [A]met because the [C#]Cake show was [D]late[Dm]
[D]And you looked so [Dm]beautiful
[A]I had to come and ask your [E]name
I had to come and ask your [A]name
