Tom: Dm
E|---T| il The Casket Drops---
--ZZ Ward--
-Chords by N.T.-
Someone told me to learn this song and I couldn't find anything that sounded good. I
watched videos of her play it and this is it. Standard tuning and all that. She uses these chords:
G A Bb C Dm
|e| 3 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
|B| 3 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
|G| 4 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 10 |
|D| 5 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
|A| 5 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
|E| 3 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
Most of the song she just palm mutes and strums down twice a beat. Listen to the song to
hear the fancy strumming she throws in every now and then.
[Intro]
Dm
Dm A
It was the coldest night of the year,
C G
Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere,
Dm
The moon was just a sliver,
A
The light was fading,
C
The war was on its way,
G
And we were waiting,
Bb A
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
C Bb
So I answered with only just one reply,
Dm Bb
Till the casket drops,
G A
Till my dying day,
Dm Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
G A
Till my legs just break,
Dm Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
G A
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
G A
Till the casket drops,
Dm A
A house made out of glass will surely shatter,
C G
So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders,
Dm
The ground, it started shaking,
A
The bombs are falling,
C
We could've walked away,
G
We had a warning,
Bb A
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
C Bb
So I answered with only just one reply,
Dm Bb
Till the casket drops,
G A
Till my dying day,
Dm Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
G A
Till my legs just break,
Dm Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
G A
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
G A
Till the casket drops,
Dm
So lay your burdens down, baby,
C
Lead me out the door,
G
We can't escape this ricochet,
A
I'm ready for this war,
Dm
So lay your burdens down, baby,
C
Lead me out the door,
G
We can't escape this ricochet,
A
I'm ready for this war,
Dm Bb
Till the casket drops,
G A
Till my dying day,
Dm Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
G A
Till my legs just break,
Dm Bb
Till the casket drops,
G A
Till my dying day,
D Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
G A
Till my legs just break,
Dm Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
G A
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
G A
Till the casket drops,
