Surrender - The Dropkick Murphys
I did the chords for this song a while back and I've yet to figure out the intro
and fill, so i'll give you guys this.
i tried my best with positioning the chord names over where they are to be played,
but i'm sure everyone will get the point.
the way i pick the lead guitar is: (for Bb to F to Ab)
3 fr. [Eb][Ab]
[Bb] [F]
Capo on 1st fret
Intro:
[Bb]I was at my weakest [F]state
[F]And you kept pushing me [Ab]on
[Ab]You gave me something to believe [Eb]in
[Eb]And it keeps me standing [Bb]strong
[Bb]These lessons that I've [F]learned
[F]These things I'll carry [Ab]on
[Ab]And when you're gone I'll honor [Eb]you
[Eb]Each day, however [Eb]long
[Bb]This glimmer of hope was never enough
[F]To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
[Ab]I held out for and I received
[Eb]A pain that never left with no reprieve
[Bb]Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
[F]There can't be any truth where there's no honest[Ab]y[Eb]
[Bb]Like an apple from the [F]tree
[F]you were lock jawed in your [Ab]ways
[Ab]A reminder of my[Eb]self in those long forgotten days
[Bb]Thought you'd stayed off my [F]path
[F]But I just couldn't [Ab]see that the blood that's in your [Eb]veins
[Eb]Is the same that runs through me
[Bb]This glimmer of hope was never enough
[F]To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
[Ab]I held out for and I received
[Eb]A pain that never left with no reprieve
[Bb]Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
There [F]can't be any truth where there's no honest[Ab]y[Eb][F]
I had it [Ab]all but lost my f[Eb]aith
And then you l[Bb]ead me to it[F]
[Ab]Today I'll carry [Eb]on[F]
[Ab]I had it all but lost my [Eb]faith
And now [Bb]I've renewed it[F]
These [Ab]things I'll carry on[Eb]
[Bb]This glimmer of hope was never enough
[F]To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
[Ab]I held out for and I received
[Eb]A pain that never left with no reprieve
[Bb]Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
[F]There can't be any truth where there's no honest[Ab]y[Eb][F]
