These can either be played as powerchords or as major/bar chords (or minor, in the case C#m). The song sounds pretty good with major chords on acoustic. In order to get the down, you will need to listen to the song; if you listen to it and try and play along it, you'll get the rhythm rather easily. Intro: A E A E x4 A E A E Fevered dreams of broken things A E A E that may come true A E A E She says that your magic charms A E A E that won't save you B A Read it in my palms, C#m read it in my tea leaves B A Chills down my spine, C#m when you curse me... A E A E x4 ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/riverboat_gamblers/walk_around_me_crd.html ) A E A E Blackened skies and magpie cries A E A E that surround you A E A E But at times your blackened aura A E A E may save you B A Read it in my palms, C#m read it in my tea leaves B A Chills down my spine, C#m when you curse me, A If I've been fated B C#m Why not let me know? (Why don't kill me outright?) E (two sharp chops) B I don't fucking care, A E I don't fucking know. A E A E x2 B A Read it in my palms, C#m read it in my tea leaves B A Chills down my spine, C#m when you curse me, A If I've been fated B C#m Why not let me know? (Why don't kill me outright?) A E A E x4 A E A E Walk around me (Walk around me) A E A E Walk around me (Walk around me)
