Tonight I Will Retire Chords

(ver. 1)
Damien Jurado
Alright, Damien finger picks through this entire song, and the pattern that he 
does raises the difficulty level to intermediate, I think. I tabbed this by ear 
I'm 99% sure that everything here is correct. Listen to the song to figure out the 
picking/strumming pattern. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
Also, this is probably the best suicide song I've ever heard.

Chords relative to capo.

Capo 4
 C: 032010
 Cadd9: 030010
 Em: 022000
 F: 133211

Intro: Cadd9 C Cadd9 Em F C Cadd9 C

   C Cadd9        Em
Oh tonight I will retire     
        F          C    Cadd9
To the arms of my lover
             C Cadd9       Em
The sweetest kiss she will give 
      F       C  Cadd9
As I lay down beside her

              C Cadd9        Em
What will she think when she awakes
         F           C  Cadd9     
Just to find I have left here

Em F(hold)

   C Cadd9        Em
Oh tonight I will retire
           F          C   Cadd9
To these hands with revolver
                 C Cadd9         Em
And I don't fear death, I will commit
         F                    C   Cadd9
Like an old friend I've known forever

           C Cadd9     Em
So come on in, take me on
      F                 C   Cadd9
No I won't stay here no longer

Em                    F
And if I should taste fire
Em                F (hold)
Save me not, I deserve to die

       C Cadd9        Em
And oh tonight I will retire
      F              C    Cadd9
To loving arms of my savior
            C Cadd9           Em
And we will walk through his gates
         F      C  Cadd9
To the skies of Heaven

            C Cadd9     Em
And no more tears will I cry
         F             C  Cadd9
Are my sins, are they forgiven

Em                    F
And if I should taste fire
Em                 F
Save me not, I deserve to die
Em                     F
And if I should taste fire
Em                F
Save me not, I deserve to die

F Cadd9 end on C
