Great Job Chords sound perfect -shawn15 | 9/15/2003 |
Great tab...awesome song, too bad it is so darn depressing--it is a country song after all -lilcat409 | 1/2/2004 |
well done, great song! -damoss | 2/10/2004 |
Rumor on Music Row is that Brad will be releasing this as the 3rd single. -WildCard76 | 3/8/2004 |
very very good, I mean you guy have got some talent that do this, I am lucky if I can barely play it right, but it sounded real good!!! -mikeanderica | 4/30/2004 |
Any way to play this without that nasty old Bm? I can't ever get that chord to sound good. Thanks -cmala | 5/2/2004 |
Try cheating on the Bm....That's what I do, sounds fine. -guppie06 | 5/2/2004 |
If you play with a capo on 2 you can use these chords instead. Bad news is you still have an F which a lot of people hate. :o)
Capo 2, chords become...
A ----> G Bm Am D C G F
Or to play this the easiest way you could capo 7th, the downside is capoing that high tends to make the guitar sound like a mandolin.
Capo 7, chords become...
A ----> D Bm Em D G G C
-Shantel | 5/2/2004 |
Shantel you are the greatest! I won't even bother touching a tab unless I see that it is done by you. This is a great song and your ear for tone is impeccable. Even though I'm having a bit of trouble finding the strumming pattern, it still sounds great! Thank you thank you thank you! -SkippyT | 5/6/2004 |
great tab...one tiny tiny thing...this is the first time iv ever suggested anything so correct me if i'm wrong but try this:
Bm A Bm A G La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la Bm A Bm A G La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
I swear I hear those A's in there. Maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me.
-pberard2002 | 5/11/2004 |
I actually figured this out in the car on the radio for the most part. Went home and played it. You're tab is right on. Though I agree with the previous poster. During the la la la part, I do hear an A chord, but only during the second la la la. It seems a little hidden but it's there. -Vynom | 5/17/2004 |
Have you tried it with the Bm in this fashion x20432 not barred makes the transition to an A and D chords easier. -saddlebronc0 | 5/20/2004 |
PRETTY DAMN GOOD BUT WILE WE WERE PLAYING AND LISTENING WE DID NOT HERE THE G IN THE FIRST LINE OF THE CHORUS. TELL ME IF YALL HEAR IT OR NOT THANKS -jroper96 | 6/1/2004 |
pberard2002- i hear the A in there too. I played it and sang it and it sounds right Good job tho, Great tab
-GRSguitar | 6/4/2004 |
Missing the A or not, this is an excellent tab. -dtony_bigs | 6/5/2004 |
good tab one thing that you can do is add a c# bass note on the a chord and it sounds better but good tab -jordan | 6/5/2004 |
i dont think youre hearing an "A" during the "la's"...i think you are hearing an F# bass note -cntyotlw | 6/5/2004 |
The G in the 1st line of the chorus is a transition chord. It only has only strum then you go immediately to the next. Same thing with the A in the 2nd line of the chorus. -Shantel | 6/6/2004 |
you rock Shantel, Great Job and Great Song -pmfsinger | 6/9/2004 |
You get it perfect everytime Shantel. Good job!!! -_DRIVEN_ | 6/15/2004 |
Everything is awesome, except that you forgot a couple G's and A's on the chorus. Here they are.
D G A Life is short but this time it was bigger --------------- D G They found him with his face down in the A pillow --------------- D G A And when we buried him beneath the willow -----------------
Bm A Bm A G La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la Bm A Bm A G La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la
-micah87 | 6/19/2004 |
I'm definitely hearing those chords. Otherwise very good tab! -danielcraggs | 6/21/2004 |
I'm still not sold about those chords being there cause I'm thinking it might just be a note on the bass we're hearing, but you guys could be right. Not sure either way but thanks for the input :o) -Shantel | 6/24/2004 |
I agree with Shantel about the bass note. I also hear other bass notes in the song, I think Jordan is right on with the C#. It needs the low "E" tuned down to a "D" to get the "REAL" effect. Check out my tab and see what you guys think. This is only my second submittal. -taylorplayer1 | 6/25/2004 |
Ive never posted before. mainly cus i just started playin but what you guys do is amazing i gotta say -ut4ever8 | 6/27/2004 |
I ain't good enough to make a playing suggestion so I think that one line says "I loved her till I died" I think...past tense...maybe. -darnell2 | 6/28/2004 |
sorry i was wrong -darnell2 | 6/28/2004 |
oh my gosh, this is an awesome tab, ive played it both on my acoustic and on my electric...wow, sounds awesome. the first time i really really listened to the song i cried :'( thats just me though, im tenderhearted. good job shantel :D -moab_spyke | 6/29/2004 |
When I'm listening to the song I definitely hear a G in the last word of the verses like this:
Bm A D But he never could get drunk enough to get G her off his mind... A Until the night...
I'm pretty sure that there is a quick ringing G there. I may be wrong. Otherwise, love this song, love the tab, agree with the A being in the last set of La La s. GREAT JOB. DEPRESSING SONG... -JonKurtis | 7/5/2004 |
Everything sounds perfect to me!!! If someone would help me figure out the intro. . . -LESLBC24 | 7/7/2004 |
great job man i had guitar lesson today and thats exactly how he told to play it awsome job
-skobe | 7/8/2004 |
dont strum it, you must finger pick it. strumming will take way too much away from the song. find yourself a nice guitar and a pretty girl with a pretty voice to sing the second verse, then tackle those vocal harmonies. fabulously written song, and alison and brad sound wonderful on their tight harmonies!! -kjdfein | 7/12/2004 |
great song,yet I agree, why are all the really new,good songs are so sad? -singerchick8928 | 7/17/2004 |
from reading the comments of a previous poster, the reason that the A like this A= x02200 is because its not an A exactly. the chord is A2 and yes it will sound better but thats simply because the chord it self sounds nicer than a normal A. just wanted to post that. great tab though -Born_Country | 7/21/2004 |
HEY GOOD JOB ON THIS SONG! I THINK THE COMMENT ON HAVEING THE A2 IS A NICE ONE BUT I BELIVE THIS SONG IS A REALY POWERFULL ONE AND THE REGULAR "A" IS A MORE POWERFULL NOTE THEN THE "A2" BUT THATS JUST MY TWO CENTS. ~PEACE -foxmen21 | 7/30/2004 |
great tabbing shantel as always it sounds awesome on my classical guitar -bluegrasstabs | 8/4/2004 |
shantel does it again....WOW sounds dead on 2 me......nicely done -countryboy09 | 8/13/2004 |
Alright I have read all the input on what chords people think they hear. The way it is posted in the tab is correct when picked it will have sounds which you will hear but when chording it out it is fine. But picking it its more defined. If you play an A like I do 222200 it would sound like a G in parts of there.Some people play a G as 330023 so its depends on how your style is try the G as I have out lined it you will see it sounds fuller. -prs1man | 8/15/2004 |
wow.. this tab rocks... it's perfect for the tone of my voice! -freebird73 | 8/20/2004 |
Great Tab. I played it with the song and I agree with the A in the 2nd la la la's -JLino | 8/26/2004 |

Sounds damn good to me. Don't change a thing!
-tator | 10/11/2004 |
This song has gotten more responses than any other I have coome across, but it is a damn good song, and it weighs very heavily on my conscience since I damn near took that road Its right from what I can tell, Not to bad at all... Thx for posting it -KJ_CHRIS | 10/12/2004 |
Nice Job but one thing in guitar tabs if it shows the guitar tab do you strum it once or place it one string at a time? -Ryan735 | 10/25/2004 |
this is so good i cried the first time i heard it thanks
-timcgrady | 11/11/2004 |
Great tab. Shantel you do great work. I don't think the extra chords are in there that some of you hear. I think Brad used a Tic Tac to add some of the bass notes that sound like those chords. Also, Brad does finger pick though he uses a pick. I don't have much luck with it but you hold the pick like normal and pick with the nails of the other fingers. -pmwilloughby | 12/2/2004 |
awesome job man -Rodeoboy387 | 12/15/2004 |
hey guys...um i need help. i got a guitar for christmas and i really like this song so i wanted to play it. could some one help me understand how to read tabs. i get the main idea but i still need help....please and thanks -edelh06 | 12/21/2004 |
oops..i meant chords(not tabs)
-edelh06 | 12/21/2004 |
yo edelh06 let me try to explain. I dont know how much you know so i'll start from the beginning. the bars that go across the guitar are called frets. when you see A= x02220 this is your fingering for the chord. the string names are Eadgbe. the E is the sring highest up when your playing. the numbers like x02220, 0 means open,so you dont put your finger on any fret for that string. if there is a number 1,2,3...that is the number fret you put your finger on. if there is an x you dont strum that string. now for the song when your playing, the letter above the song is the chord you play, and you keep playing it until another letter comes. hope this helps -jwcountry | 1/4/2005 |
Hey Kids! I recently played this song at an open mike night. Not as great without a female part, but I made it work with just me singing it. I finger pick the verses and then strum the chorus and lalala parts for a more dramatic effect. The strumming rythym kindof mirrors the drums as well.... its like "struuuum chaka chak chigga struuuum chaka chak". If that makes any remote sense to anyone! Remember, the cool thing about music and especially guitar is that you have the ability and the privilage to make a song your own, not just a carbon copy of the cd. Have Fun and be Creative! -jcrangeman | 1/5/2005 |
GUYS!!! UR KILLIN ME...THERE ISN'T AN EXTRA A...THATS JUST A BASS NOT...GEEEEEZ.... -cook10 | 2/28/2005 |
I just saw the CMT concert of "Muddi Gras": brad paisley .....and man his performance on this song ....was AWESOME ....he uses a pick by the way! Now i liked the album version with allison just as much as the next person. But hearin brad take on this song by himself with only him playin guitar is the best version. His voice is just so humble you feel it in your gut. p.s. GREAT TAB sounds wonderful ... keep on rockin everybody! -FenderFan521 | 3/13/2005 |
hey cook10 im only 13 and i know that you spell it note not "not" ecelent tab shantel i played it at the highschool talent show and won. and im only in middle school -timcgrady | 3/15/2005 |
except that you spelled excellent wrong 13 year old, good job with winning, and i must put an end to this A at the end of the intro thing, if you listen and have ears for music, you clearly hear the acoustic strumming an A, as well at the Bassist beginning his procession with an A, the bass does not play in the intro, neither does he need to, the song has enough effect with the guitar and that other intrument in the Intro. God Bless -micah87 | 3/26/2005 |
Hey love the song, and its an amazing tab, awsome, great job! keep up the great tabliture. Lataz -Vexen | 5/24/2005 |
I've been bustin a gut for over 1/2 an hour reading these posts - too funny! Great job on the tabs. Brad is my hero. Plain & Simple. -shoobop | 8/31/2005 |
This song just recently hit me hard. Cuz im sort of in the same situation the guy is in the song. I dont think im gonna kill myself though, lol, but i can see how people would want to especially after listening to this damn song. Its freakin sad as hell, especially when it applies to you. Brad is awesome. One of my 3 fav country stars. #1 bein Conway Twitty, best voice i mean come on, then George Straight because of, you look so good in love and the chair and all his songs, the theres brad, because that s.o.b can burn the damn guitar up! Good job on the tabs guys. -southrnthunder1 | 9/22/2005 |
Try it like this: On the "pain away" part of the chorus, play A/C# where Shantel has A. On the la la's try hammering on the open A string to B on the 7th la, then again on the next to last la before the G. Both of these add a little extra flair when doing solo acoustic. As mentioned above, take this song and make it your own. Who wants to be a carbon copy? -turkey101 | 11/19/2005 |
super -azertyup | 5/28/2008 |
I like it very much) -MegaBrownShip | 9/11/2017 |
