Trouble

Words & Music:

Ray Lamontagne

 

This is arranged in the December 2008 issue of Acoustic Guitar.  It is the first time I've ever seen a "post-chorus", though.

 

G  C/G  D  Dsus4  D  [4x]

 

G      D G          C                       G

Trouble.  Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble.

             D                         C           G  D

Trouble been doggin' my soul since the day I was born.

 

Worry.  Worry, worry, worry, worry.

Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone.

 

CHORUS:

                G     C        F  C

Well, I've been saved by a woman.  [3x]

 

POST-CHORUS:

          A9sus2                D         Dsus4  D

She won't let me go.  She won't let me go, now.  [2x]

 

INTRO CHORDS:  2x only]

 

Verse 2:

Trouble.  Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble.

Feels like every time I get back on my feet

She come around and knock me down again.

Worry.  Oh, worry, worry, worry, worry.

Sometimes, I swear it feels like this worry is my only friend.

 

CHORUS:

 

POST-CHORUS:  [2x]

 

BRIDGE:  C  Bm  Am  G  | C  Bm  Am  G  C

 

OUTRO:  [ad lib vox over G    C]
