I'll do a demonstration up to the point where you need to start repeating it, and then I'll break it down for you.
[F#]
[F#m] [D] [A]
[E] [D]
[Am] Honey, pack up [E] your questions [F#m] and pick [A] up your sticks and your stones
[F#]
[D] [A] And pretend [Em] I'm a shelter [F#m] for [D] heartaches that don't [A] have a home
[F#] [D]
[B] [Bm] Choose your words and cut [F#m] like a razor
[Bm]
[B] That's all that [E] I'll say
[F#m] And [F#] fire [F#m]
[E] away
[F#m] Take a better [E] shot, show me what you [A] got
[F#m] Honey, I'm [E] not afraid
[A] We'll rear [B] back and take aim
[A]
[E]
[F#m] [D] [A]
[F#] [D] [B]
[A] [E] [F#]
[D] [B] [E]
[A]
[B] [G] [E]
[N] And fire away
Take a better shot, show me what you got
Honey, I'm not afraid
We'll
[F#] [E] rear back and take aim
[F#m] And [A] fire away
[E]
[D] [B] Take a better shot, show me what you got
[F#]
[B]
[A] [F#]
[A] [E]
[B] [F#]
[D] [B]
Honey, [E] I'm not afraid
[F#m] [D]
[F#] [A]
[E] [F#m] [D]
[A] [E] Honey, [A]
pack [Em] up your questions [F#m] and pick up [D] your sticks [A] and your stones
[F#] [D]
[B] [E] And then [A] just repeats that.
Now when it comes to the [D] kind of [C#m] pre-chorus, it's an A minor.
[Bm] Choose your words and cut [F#m] like a razor
To an E minor.
[Bm] And [C#] that's all.
He does a walk [Bm]-up kind of deal there where he takes his A minor and just take the top string and move it up to the second [C#] string down instead of the third string down.
[B] So, [Bm]
[C#] [E] and then to the D.
So it's, [Bm] choose your words and cut [F#m] like a razor
[Bm] [C#] And that's all [Em] that I'll [E] say
And then that pull-off on that D.
[F#] [F#m] And fire, starts out on an E minor, [E] fire, and then it goes to an F sharp over a D.
Chris will play that by playing his D chord and just [B] wrapping his thumb over to the, [G#] you're holding it in the second fret [E] top string.
Okay, Chris will play it that way.
I play it by coming from my, I take my D chord, so I go to my [F#m] E minor, and then when I'm going to that F [E] sharp over the D, I just play it like this.
So I'm going back with this finger to the top [G#] of the D string chord and then I'm [E] holding that.
And then I just don't hit the bottom string.
Usually you don't hit it anyway, so.
And then it'll go G, [G] C, so.
[B] And fire, [F#m] [F#] fire, [F#m]
[D] [E] away.
Okay, do that again.
[F#m] And [A] fire, starts on your E minor.
[F#m] And [F#] fire,
[F#m] [F#] away.
[F#m] [E] [A] [D]
[E] And then we go to a C, we're back and [D] take aim.
[B]
[D] And fire, [F#] away.
And it starts over.
[F#m] [D]
[A] [F#] [F#m]
And that's a whole song right there.
[C] If you run into [A#] something that you can't figure out, just get a hold of me and I'll be glad to help you out.
[N] Thank you.
