Burden In My Hand Chords

And

Verses

The verses all follow the same pattern. Listen to the song to figure out the exact

timings, this is just a rough guide.

CFollow me inD♯to the desert

 As thA♯irsty as you arCe

CCrack a smile and cD♯ut your mouth

 And dA♯rown in alcohol C

And so on and so forth. Now, the trick is to hit the low string/s (i'm very lazy!)

twice each time you make a chord change. 'duh duh strum strum strum'. Except maybe

on that second C in each section, it just sounds like strumming to me. Listen to

the song, you'll figure it out!

Pre Chorus:

This is a little tricky. There are some odd timings here. Having the song is

helpful, but I strongly recommend the Guitar Pro tab, its really good for figuring

out the timing of the last bit.

This from the chords ver 2 tab seems to work well enough:

D♯Oh noC

D♯There she gCoes

Then the tricky bit:

D♯Out in theC sD♯unsChiCnCe D♯the sun CisD♯ miCneC CthD♯e sun is miCneC C D♯ C C C G D♯ C

Chorus

This is a good chorus, with that great little descending tune after each line.

Again, this is very rough timing for the chord changes, listen to song! Its pretty

simple here.

CI shot my lA♯ove today woG♯uld you crD♯y for meA♯ F♯ F

CI lost my hA♯ead again woG♯uld you liD♯e for meA♯ F♯ F

CI left her A♯in the sand G♯just a burD♯den in my hA♯andF♯ F

CI lost my hA♯ead again woG♯uld you crD♯y for meA♯ F♯ F

At the end of playing the A# slide down to the G#. Then continue to play the G# as

per the song.

Bridge

Taken pretty much from chords ver 2

Play each chord 3 times

CJust a burden in my D♯hand

CJust an anchor on my G♯heart

 JCust a tumor in my hG♯ead A♯ F♯ F

 Last chorus - repeat the second part of the last line; thats the part from G♯

 onwards ('would you cry for me'). Then right at the end, it sounds like another C

D♯ C, like in the prechorus.
