Dredg - Matroshka Ukulele

This is not intended to sound like the album. This is how I play a stripped down 
version of the song with a solo acoustic guitar.


Bm  D  G  G

        Bm                 D 
I was looking down at you smiling underneath
      G                          G
For once I held you tight, but shadow hands grabbed at me
        Bm                                  D
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
G                              G
It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said


Bm                        D
  Look another year went by,
            G
They keep passing by,
    G
But damn I didn't even die,
     Bm                 D
Too old and slow I've grown,
    G              G
I fought time but lost


Bm  D  G  G


        Bm                       D 
It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be
  G                           G
Tough and immune, your body adapts you see
    Bm                     D 
To all above my head, and all below my feet
G                                   G
No that's one freedom you'll never take from me


Bm                       D
  Look another year went by,
             G
They keep passing by,
    G
But damn I didn't even die,
     Bm                 D
Too old and slow I've grown,
    G              G
I fought time but lost


Bm                 D     G                G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
            Bm                      D     G          G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear


Bm           D          G  G
Hold tight, hold tight


Bm  D  G  G x2


Bm                 D     G                 G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
            Bm                      D     G          G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
Bm                 D     G                 G
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
            Bm                      D     G          G
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear


Bm           D           G           G
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Bm                     D
Look another year went by
G            G           Bm          D          G   G
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight


Bm  D  G  G ...
