Weightless Again (ver 3) Chords

"Weightless Again" by The Handsome Family
Transcribed by MericanSoil
Standard Tuning
Similar to some of the previous transcriptions, but many of the chords were omitted/overlooked 
from the earlier attempts. This should be pretty spot on…

Intro (played the same way as verse): 

Am Am 
D Dm Am Am
G D Am, G D Am


Verse 1:

                 D   Dm                Am
We stopped for coffee in the redwood forest
G      D       Am      G          D       Am
Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream
               D    Dm              Am
I wanted to kiss you, but I wasn't sure how
G           D  Am   G          D       Am
Like those indians lost in the rain forest
                  D        Dm         Am
Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went
G         D     Am         G      D       E    E7
They all had forgo___tten how to start a fire



Chorus:

C           Am            E      E7
This is why people OD on pills

     C    Am                  E       E7
And jump from the golden gate bridge

C                 Am          E
Anything to feel weightless again

Intro Again: 

Am Am 
D Dm Am Am
G D Am, G D Am


Verse 2:

                   D   Dm                    Am
Those poor lost indians, when the white man found them
G          D Am      G     D     Am
Most died of TB, the rest went insane
          D     Dm                 Am
In our motel room you're drinking slice and gin
G        D    Am  G       D     Am
Reading Moby Dick on the other bed
               D      Dm            Am
Remember the first time we slept together?
G        D        Am   G         D          E    E7
You said it felt like when you learned to float



Chorus:
C           Am            E      E7
This is why people OD on pills
    C      Am                  E       E7
And jump from the golden gate bridge
C                Am            E
Anything to feel weightless again  [stop]
