Capo I  *
 
A E A B  A
 
E            B          A
Did you ever wake up to find, 
E          B             A
a day that broke up your mind 
E              B         A
Destroyed your notion of circular time 
 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway 
 
E              B                A
Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground; 
E          B                  A
for all my friends out on the burial ground 
E               B               A
Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down 
 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway 
 
A     E    A  B            A
There must be ways to find out 
A    E  A   B               A                B  A
Love is the way they say is really strutting out
 
Solo
 
B A  4x
 
A E A B  A
 
E    B        A
Hey, hey, hey now 
 
E         B          A
One day I woke up to find, 
E            B           A
right in the bed next to mine 
E            B                    A
Someone that broke me up with the corner of her smile, yeah 
 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway 
 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway 
B                             A
It's just that demon life has got me...

Okay, these are very basic barre chords. Get rid of the capo.

For me the song is a 1,5,4 progression in F. F, C, Bb... and the fill is D,F,D,C, Bb. Great song. So very similar to what you have with the capo.

Line should read “ Love is the way they say is really strutting out”.
