• C/G

My Wrecking Ball

Capo 4 (all chords relative)


Great song off the new album.

I play the C as a C/G and the G as a technically a G6add11 below in the diagram. 

Play the Fadd9 in the verses and chorus with your thumb on the bass note (see chord diagram). 

Sounds good if you add a few embellishments such as hammer ons etc.

Verse:


Fmaj7                           C
Driving through the streets tonight

  G                       Am
It's hot I've got the windows down


Fmaj7                   C                       G
I wish I could call you I wish you were still around

Fmaj7                   C
Nothing much left in the tank

G                         Am
Somehow this thing still drives

Fmaj7                         C                 G
It forgot what it needed but somehow still survives


Bridge:


   Am       Am/B     C          Fmaj7           G
And all the walls we built they must come down


Chorus:


Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 

         C              G             Fmaj7
won't you come and maybe knock me down

Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 

         C              G             Fmaj7
won't you come and maybe knock me down


Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 

         C               G
won't you come and knock me down,

come and knock me down tonight



Verse:



Fmaj7                C
Lying in the bed at night

  G                       Am
Feeling like I'm somebody else

  
Fmaj7                      C                            G
My thoughts inside my head get lost inside the haunted house


Fmaj7                C
Everyone I used to know

 G                        Am
Left their dreams by the door


Fmaj7                      C                            G
I accidentally kick em thats how I can tell you're still not sure


Bridge:


   Am       Am/B     C          Fmaj7           G
And all the walls we built they rise and they fall

Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 

         C               G
wont you come and maybe knock me down,

Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball

wont you come and maybe knock me down

Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 

         C          G            Fmaj7
wont you come and maybe knock me down

Hey, You're my wrecking ball 

         C              G             
wont you come and   knock me down
