The intro begins with just a Am. The bass note on every beat and on the foruth beat he throws the G in.
He repeats this in between verses.
 
The D* in the chorus is a Dadd9add11 which is a much scarier sounding chord than it really is if you are
unfamiliar with it. Essentially take a C chord played in open position and move it up two frets and let that
G string ring. Especially in this song, it works really well to actually slide into it from the C.
 
D* = x5403x
 
Capo 3
 
[Verse 1]
              Am
I've got the Holy Ghost fire
 
And it's burning in me
              D
I've got the Holy Ghost fire
                     Am
And it's burning in me
         E          D
Got the Holy Ghost fire
         C        C/B        Am
And I'm burning down these streets
 
 
[Verse 2]
             Am
I've got a sweet little baddie
 
And she's rolling in the Caddy with me
             D
I've got a sweet little baddie
                                     Am
And she's rolling in the Caddy with me
             E                      D
I've got a whole lotta Prada for my Holy Ghost mama
           C           C/B     Am
And she's making sweet eyes at me
 
 
[Chorus]
               C         D*
Don't let me down, sweet mama
          Am     C  D*           Am
Oh sweet mama, do- on't let me down
        C   D*      Am
I'm an ho   -onest man
 C                       D*         Am
Dying to get you in the palm of my hand
 C           D*       Am
Working the long con plan
 
 
[Verse 3]
         Am
If you knew the truth about me, baby girl
 
No way in hell you'd stay
          D
But if I filled you in
                            Am
Would you take it to the grave?
          E                D
'Cause a secret ain't no secret
        C      C/B    Am
If you give it all away

               C         D*
Don't let me down, sweet mama
          Am     C  D*           Am
Oh sweet mama, do- on't let me down
        C   D*      Am
I'm an ho   -onest man
 C                       D*         Am
Dying to get you in the palm of my hand
 C           D*       Am
Working the long con plan
               C         D*        Am
Don't let me down, sweet mama
 C    D*           Am
Oh, don't let me down

Working the long con plan
 
 
               C         D*
Don't let me down, sweet mama
