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:
GABbCDm
|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]
DmDmA
It was the coldest night of the year,
CG
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,
BbA
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
CBb
So I answered with only just one reply,
DmBb
Till the casket drops,
GA
Till my dying day,
DmBb
Till my heartbeat stops,
GA
Till my legs just break,
DmBb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
GA
whoa, whoa, oh,
DmBb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
GA
Till the casket drops,
DmA
A house made out of glass will surely shatter,
CG
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,
BbA
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
CBb
So I answered with only just one reply,
DmBb
Till the casket drops,
GA
Till my dying day,
DmBb
Till my heartbeat stops,
GA
Till my legs just break,
DmBb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
GA
whoa, whoa, oh,
DmBb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
GA
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,
DmBb
Till the casket drops,
GA
Till my dying day,
DmBb
Till my heartbeat stops,
GA
Till my legs just break,
DmBb
Till the casket drops,
GA
Till my dying day,
DBb
Till my heartbeat stops,
GA
Till my legs just break,
DmBb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
GA
whoa, whoa, oh,
DmBb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
GA
Till the casket drops,
