    You nailed the “The hospital asked” verse. So good.

    Great use of your vocals, soft and emotional as this particular song demands it, the whole album actually. Also, very impressive variations of the few chords given, it shows that guitar is more than just a skill to you. Keep it up man, you're awesome!

    lyric:
    The evil it spread like a fever ahead
    It was night when you died, my firefly
    What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
    Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
    Well you do enough talk
    My little hawk, why do you cry?
    Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
    Or the Fourth of July?
    We're all gonna die
    Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
    Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
    Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
    Now, where am I?
    My fading supply
    Did you get enough love, my little dove
    Why do you cry?
    And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best
    Though it never felt right
    My little Versailles
    The hospital asked should the body be cast
    Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
    Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
    Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
    Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
    Why do you cry?
    Make the most of your life, while it is rife
    While it is light
    Well you do enough talk
    My little hawk, why do you cry?
    Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
    Or the Fourth of July?
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die
    We're all gonna die.

    • @ahicks543
      @ahicks543  9 років тому +20

      climberjde Yep, standard tuning with capo on the second fret. The chords are Am D G D C. All I do is keep the B string open for every chord. The chorus chords are a bit different too. It's D G D G D C. Hope that helps!

    • @ahicks543
      @ahicks543  9 років тому +9

      +Jordan “Rocketlauncher” Putt I'm using the Ditto Looper and a volume pedal. I record 4 seconds of silence, then swell notes in the pentatonic to make a pad throughout the whole song and make it sound a bit more full. Hope that's helpful!
