If you really want to get that clawhammer banjo feel, try alternating between the
bass string and the rest of the chord: e.g.
[D] [G] [A]
E---2-2 ---3-3 -------|
B---3-3 ---3-3 ---2-2-|
G---2-2 ---0-0 ---2-2-|
D-0---- ------ ---2-2-|
A------ ------ -0-----|
E------ -3---- -------|
[D]You are a sight for the[G] sorest of e[D]yes
[D]and these [A]have never [D]beheld
[D]such beauty and grace i[G]n the look on [D]your face
[D]is a secret y[A]ou just c[D]an't tell
Blow out those candles and crawl into bed
Hold me close and don't let go
The storm clouds are gatherin' all overhead
and the wind is starting to blow
[G]I never felt better than [D]in your two arms
and the moon never shone so [A]bright
[G]All my woes seem to [D]fade away
[D]Darlin' you [A]sure are a [D]sight
(the last two verses go back to the original pattern)
Tea in the morning and whiskey at night
is such a hard cycle to break
but your company is just fine by me
Lovin for lovins sake
You shoot me that look from them big doe eyes
like a slug from a forty-four
It's as easy as that for you to lay me out flat
that's one thing that's always for sure
