Am7                    G        C
Rotgut whiskey's gonna ease my mind

[Chorus]
F                      C
  A cold shoulder at closing time

You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
F                C
  Strange words come on out
      G                          Am7
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
F              C
  Pictures and passin' time
          G                           Am7
You only smile like that when you're drinking
F                   C
  I wish I didn't, but I do
  G                           Am7
Remember every moment on the nights with you

You're drinkin' everything to ease your mind
    C                     G          Am7
But when the hell are you gonna ease mine?
             Am7                  G      C
You're like concrete feet in the summer heat
   C                     G        Am7
It burns like hell when two souls meet
           Am7                       G        C
No, you'll never be the man that you always swore
           C                           G   Am7
But I'll remember you singin' in that '88 Ford
 
[Chorus]

How to play "I Remember Everything" by Zach Bryan on guitar

[Intro]
Playing Style: The song begins in 3/4 time and then moves to 4/4.
Use a seamless transition between the Am7, G, and C chords.
Strumming Pattern: For 3/4 parts, utilize a waltz-like pattern with emphasis
on the first beat.
For 4/4 parts, utilize a consistent down-up strumming pattern.

[Verse 1.]
Clear, fluid chord changes are recommended for lines like "Rotgut whiskey's
gonna ease my mind" in Am7 G C. 
- Practice transitioning between Am7, G, and C with steady time.
- Strumming Pattern: Use a continuous down-up strum in 4/4, somewhat
softer for reflective verses.

Chorus:
- F C G Am7. Use a heavier downstroke on the first beat of each measure to
emphasize chord changes.
- Strumming Pattern: Use down and up strums to create an intense rhythm.
Consider intensifying the chorus over the verses to create a stronger impact.

[Verse 2.]
Follow the same strategy as in Verse 1 to ensure seamless transitions and
constant rhythm.
- Strumming Pattern: Use a consistent down-up pattern, with quieter strums
for introspective lyrics.

[Chorus]: F C G Am7 
- Follow the same pattern as the last chorus, focusing on dynamics and intensity.
- Emphasize clear and forceful chord changes.

[Interlude]
F C G - This portion provides a little pause before the outro. 
Maintain a consistent strumming pattern and focus on clean chord changes.

[Outro] Am7 G C
- Return to introspective verse style.
- Strumming softly and steadily emphasizes the lyrics' melancholy tone.

Common mistakes include rushing the transition from 3/4 to 4/4 portions.
