Chord On The Way Home by John Mayer

john mayer - on the way home note : hello! so , i heard this song yesterday during A 24 hour stream on john mayer website and i couldn’t resist to transcribe it! such a beautiful song and i’m so excited for his upcoming album! it’s almost impossible to write down everything that is happening in the song , so i’ve stuck with the chords , and the guitar intro . there aren’t many chords but during verse2 the song fills up with alot of notes that seems to me to be "walking around" the D chord . i’ve written down some variations in the chords section , tough i’m just going to write down the same chord progression as in the other verses . you are more than welcome to correct my chord names . i feel like i have no idea what im doing . the bridge is possibly the hardest one to get a grip on . play around with the different D - chord variations and listen how it sounds . the intro guitar is quite fast paced and with alot of country hammers and pulloffs . im going to try to be as accurate as i possibly can . other than that i wish you the best! love . victor - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - song structure intro 00 : 00 verse1 00 : 11 chorus1 00 : 57 instrumental break1 01 : 16 verse2 01 : 29 chorus2 01 : 52 instrumental break2 02 : 11 bridge 02 : 21 chorus3 03 : 07 out - chorus 03 : 36 fine 03 : 59 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - chords - the key of D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dsus2 - x00230 G5 - 3x0033 Am - x02220 Asus4 - x02230 variations of D chord Dm - x00232 Dsus4 - x00233 Dsus2 - x00230 Dadd9 - x04230 d? - xx2030 d? - xxx030 sounds like "g5" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - intro - 2 x 1 2 3 4 | | | | E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - - - - - - - - 0 - - | B | - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - 3 - - 3 - - 3 - - 3 - - - - - - - - - 3 - - | G | - - - - - 2h4p2p0 - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - - - - - - - - 2 - - | keep strumming that Dsus2 for the D | - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - 4 - - - - - 0h2p0 - - - - - 0 - - | last four beats , then repeat .
