HAND ME DOWNS (Amy Ray) ----------------------- [Amy and Emily play pretty different parts in this song. Amy plays in the key of G with a capo on the 2nd fret; Emily plays in A with no capo. Because of this discrepancy, I'm going to list the entire song twice. First Amy's part, then Emily's.] [Most of the Emily part wasn't figured out by me; credit for that goes to Scot Ninneman (scotjohn@leland.stanford.edu).] AMY: D(9)9/C Asus9 Asus9GC D(9) I've taken so many down AAsus9/C G D(9) I've helped them all to dismount Asus9 Asus9/C G D(9) I've followed so many down AAsus9/C G D(9) I take their hand-me-downs Am C G - D C - D All with hope, all with hope, that emptiness brings fullness G - D C - D And loss of love brings wholeness Am C G - D C - D All with hope, all with hope, that emptiness brings fullness G - D C - Bm7 (Asus9...)
