Marriage Chords

(ver. 1)
The Avett Brothers
Originally performed by Bombadil.
Capo on 5th
Chords used: F F2*  C G
*F2 = an F chord played with the first finger on the second fret (so when the capo 
is on 5, the F chord begins at 7).  I'm not entirely sure what chord this is, but 
I believe technically it's a G

The ornament at the beginning played with "what would you say to marriage" starts 
at C, them moves up to F2 with these three notes:

e |-------------------3--1--|
B |--1----------------3--1--|
G |-------------------4--2--|
D |--2-----0--2--3----5--3--|
A |--3----------------------|
E |-------------------------|
     C                F2 F

0    2     3   F2     F
what would you say to marriage
F                                    C
after the 200th time I told the same joke
F          C     F             C
and then I broke your favorite watch with my heel

0    2     3   F2     F

and then I blew your confidence with a lover that was in my past, in my past

F             C     F             C
I thought you knew, I thought you knew

F                                    C
after the 200th time I wore the same skirt
F          C    F              C     F             C
and then I hurt your dream job offer because I was scared
