Chord Every Thug Needs A Lady Acoustic by Alkaline Trio

the alkaline trio were the band that started it all for me . many times i have tried to cover a song and many times i have failed until i stumbled across a youtube video of the band playing a intimate record shop acoustic session . the song every thug needs a lady starts at 23 : 55 . the video is here for reference this is the kind of acoustic i like to play so i got straight on with transcribing . i’m pretty much certain i have this nailed and it sounds sick! tuning in the video is a step down but if you’re just playing it live you can leave it standard or like i do capo up on 2nd . the chord names are just there for reference but these are the actual finger positions . on the D chord i like to hang my thumb over the neck to mute the E string . hope it all makes sense : G 320033 D x00233 E 022033 C 032033 intro riff G , D , E , C G D i know it’s dark here , you know that i’m scared too E C for some reason right now , of everything but you G D C right now you’re all that i recognize G D you know i came here when i needed your soft voice E C i needed to hear something that sounded like an answer G D C now i wait here , and sometimes i get one bridge D C it’s nothing i’ll forget when the moon gets tired D C you are stuck to me everyday D C G E believe in what i Am because it’s all that i have today C D G C E and tomorrow who knows where we’ll be C E D C D G from here i can hardly see a thing C E C but i will follow anyone who brings me to you G D C D for now , forever , for on and on and on intro riff again G , D , E , C G D you know it starts here , outside waiting in the cold E C kiss me once in the snow , i swear it never gets old G D C but i will promise you i can make it warmer next year G D you know i came here when i needed your soft voice E C i needed to hear something that sounded like an answer G D C now i stay here , and everyday i get one bridge D C it’s nothing i’ll forget when the moon gets tired D C you are stuck to me everyday D C G E believe in what i Am because it’s all i have today C D G C E and tomorrow who knows where we’ll be C E D C D G from here i can hardly see a thing C E C but i will follow anyone who brings me to you G D C D for now , forever , for on and on and on intro riff again G , D , E , C G D C so go plug in your electric blanket G D C we can stay in ’till our southern summer wedding day G D C go plug in your electric blanket D G D C D G we can stay here thanks for checking out the tab . any comments or corrections can be left below . yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay alk3
