Tonight I Will Retire Chords & Lyrics by Damien Jurado

Tonight I Will Retire

guitar chords lyrics

Damien Jurado

Alright, Damien finger picks through this entire song, and the pattern that he
does raises the difficulty level to intermediate, I think. I tabbed this by ear
from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIOHSrZPitI
I'm 99% sure that everything here is correct. Listen to the song to figure out the
picking/strumming pattern. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
Also, this is probably the best suicide song I've ever heard.

Chords relative to capo.

Intro: Cadd9 C Cadd9 Em F C Cadd9 C

C Cadd9 Em
Oh tonight I will retire
F C Cadd9
To the arms of my lover
C Cadd9 Em
The sweetest kiss she will give
F C Cadd9
As I lay down beside her

C Cadd9 Em
What will she think when she awakes
F C Cadd9
Just to find I have left here

Em F(hold)

C Cadd9 Em
Oh tonight I will retire
F C Cadd9
To these hands with revolver
C Cadd9 Em
And I don't fear death, I will commit
F C Cadd9
Like an old friend I've known forever

C Cadd9 Em
So come on in, take me on
F C Cadd9
No I won't stay here no longer

Em F
And if I should taste fire
Em F (hold)
Save me not, I deserve to die

C Cadd9 Em
And oh tonight I will retire
F C Cadd9
To loving arms of my savior
C Cadd9 Em
And we will walk through his gates
F C Cadd9
To the skies of Heaven

C Cadd9 Em
And no more tears will I cry
F C Cadd9
Are my sins, are they forgiven

Em F
And if I should taste fire
Em F
Save me not, I deserve to die
Em F
And if I should taste fire
Em F
Save me not, I deserve to die

F Cadd9 end on C
