Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
ok so this is not the actual way gary clark jr plays the song but i think the chords are
right and its a much easier way to play it
basically he uses 3 chords:[ C# D# Cm ] through the whole song, if not you can transpose
it one halfstep down and put a capo on the first fret and play [ C D Bm ]
the way i play it is strumming always down the amount of times shown next (where the "_"
part would be a little silence:
C#C#C#C#D#D#D#D#CmCmCmC#_C#C#C#
C# D# Cm C#
Ooh ah...
C# D# Cm C#
It gets cold outside standing all alone
C# D# Cm C#
Spendin' all day on the telephone
C# D# Cm C#
All I wanna do is go home
C# D# Cm C#
But I won't stop here
Checkpoints got us paranoid
They think they've got another boy
Well I got somethin' you need to know about it, and I can't stop now
I gotta green light I'm on my way
Just turnin' to a brighter day
Everything ain't goin' my way
But I won't stop now
Well I won't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown
Once again we do a show and
Leave with a pocket of zero dollar bills
And we feel it's a steal
But we won't breakdown
Backseat of the van
Thinkin' damn I'm the man
With the master plan
And I can't give a damn about nothin' at all
I'm gonna do my thing
And not stop now
So I keep on bringin' it all
Till I reach the light I
I won't stop now, I can see the light
I'm already feelin' late at the light
So I can't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown, breakdown
Well I won't breakdown, breakdown
Well I won't breakdown, breakdown
Well I won't breakdown, breakdown
Well I can see it, feel it, I know (breakdown...)
Breakdown...
Well I won't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown
Well I can't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown
Well I won't breakdown, breakdown
