Intro: Ebm B B Gb - x2 -

Verse:
         Ebm           B
Leave me out with the waste,
        Gb          Db
This is not what I do.
         Ebm            B
It's the wrong kind of place
      Gb           Db
To be thinking of you.
         Ebm    B
It's the wrong time,
    Gb        Db
For somebody new
       Ebm    B
It's a small crime,
         Gb      Db
And I've got no excuse.

Chorus:
        Ebm    B
Is that alright?
Gb       Db                  Ebm
Give my gun away when it's loaded.
        B
Is that alright, yeah?
Gb            Db                             Ebm
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?
         B
Is that alright?
Gb       Db                  Ebm
Give my gun away when it's loaded
        B
Is that alright?
        Gb            Db
Is that alright with you?

Verse:
         Ebm           B
Leave me out with the waste,
        Gb          Db
This is not what I do.
         Ebm            B
It's the wrong kind of place
      Gb           Db
To be cheating on you.
         Ebm    B
It's the wrong time,
    Gb        Db
She's pulling me through.
       Ebm    B
It's a small crime,
         Gb      Db
And I've got no excuse.

Chorus:
        Ebm    B
Is that alright?
Gb       Db                  Ebm
Give my gun away when it's loaded.
        B
Is that alright, yeah?
Gb            Db                             Ebm
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it?
         B
Is that alright?
Gb       Db                  Ebm
Give my gun away when it's loaded
        B
Is that alright?
        Gb            Db
Is that alright with you?

        Ebm B Gb Db
Is that alright?
        Ebm B Gb Db
Is that alright?
        Ebm               B Gb Db
Is that alright with you?
        Ebm
Is that alright?
        B
Is that alright?
        Gb            Db
Is that alright with you?

I think it sounds pretty nice, if you strum the verse with D-DDU and the chorus with the classic pattern DDUUDU.

It sounds good when if at the start of each chord you pluck G and A together and then pluck C then E then A

Super easy to learn and works well with the melody of the song! Only wish there was a variety of chords throughout the song as it gets a bit boring to play. Thank you ukutabs!!!

Damien Rice Damien Rice (born December 7, 1973) is an Irish singer-songwriter. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, to George and Maureen Rice and was raised in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. In March 1999 Damien moved to Tuscany, then travelled around Europe, busking the streets. He arrived back in Dublin a year later, with a clear head and full of ideas. Damien started playing and recording music with his first band, Juniper. After a few years he decided creatively it was not for him so he left the band (Newly named Bell X1) to start a solo career.
