Hey Rachel Chords

For the riff that comes up in the intro and other parts of the song, power chords can
also be played instead.
 I also recommend listening to the song to listen to when the chord changes for the
intro riff because it does sound a bit weird without the riff.
 
Capo 1
 
[Intro]
G D
G D
 
[Verse 1]
D
A decade's worth of damage done in unsaid words
G
We both know that's not what you deserved
D
There was always love, it was there but never spoken of
G
You held on when I was not enough
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm        G               A
   It's a shame, this has taken me so long to say
 
[Chorus]
D           G
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry
Bm                            A
I was younger and scared when you needed me
      D            Bm         G
I was selfish and stubborn, a terrible brother
  G                   A
You don't have to forgive me
            D
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry
G  D
 
[Verse 2]
D
I always knew that I was responsible to guide you through
G
But I was blind when looking out for you
D
I was self-absorbed but I try not to be anymore
G
I put your diary back in your drawer
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm        G               A
   It's a shame, this has taken me so long to say
 
[Chorus]
D           G
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry
Bm                            A
I was younger and scared when you needed me
      D            Bm         G
I was selfish and stubborn, a terrible brother
  G                   A
You don't have to forgive me
            G
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry
