Jon Allen - Sweet Defeat Chords

Jon Allen plays the song with his guitar tuned down a whole step and his capo on the 4th fret. So you can just use a capo on the second fret on standard tuning.

The G7 chord he uses isnt your usual |3-2-0-0-0-1|, but instead he uses the |3-2-3-0-0-x/3| variant,
in wich he alternates the first fret on the B string.

Intro: C Am F G7 x2

          C             Am
Well I was busy going nowhere
      F          G7
Hanging out in no mans land
          C              Am
When you showed me the silver
         F           G7
There in bad lucks ugly hand

              F              C
Youve got the sweetest disposition
         Am             G7
And a heart thats open wide
           F           C
I know that youre the woman
      G7
Whos gonna keep me satisfied

  C        Am
Sweet defeat
   F       G7                C  Am
Im lying helpless at your feet
  F           G7             C   Am                  
And so its goodbye to the street
F            G7
Im so pleased to meet you sweet defeat

Well Id given up believing
That Id ever end up here
But now Im happy on the high wire
With your voice ringing in my ears

I wanna call you up Sundays
When Ive nothing much to say
I want hold on to you darling
Throw everything else I got away

Sweet defeat
Im lying helpless at your feet
And so its goodbye to the street
Im so pleased to meet you sweet defeat

Youre like the morning breeze a blowin
Right through this weary soul
You give me a feeling
From my head down to my toes

Sweet defeat
Im lying helpless at your feet
And so its goodbye to the street
Im so pleased to meet you sweet defeat
