Dropkick Murphys — Surrender Chords
Surrender — The Dropkick Murphys
I did the chords for this song a while back and I've yet to figure out the intro
and fill, so i'll give you guys this.
i tried my best with positioning the chord names over where they are to be played,
but i'm sure everyone will get the point.
the way i pick the lead guitar is: (for Bb to F to Ab)
|—————————————————x———x——x——x—————x—
|—x———x——x——x—————x———x——x——x—————x— basically pick the—
|—x———x——x——x—————x———x——x——x—————x— —higher half of the chord,
|—x————————————x——x————————————x——x— then the lower half once,
|—x————————————x——x————————————x———— then the entire next chord.

Intro:
Bb——F——Ab——Eb
Bb——F——Ab——Eb——Bb
Bb F
I was at my weakest state
F Ab
And you kept pushing me on
Ab Eb
You gave me something to believe in
Eb Bb
And it keeps me standing strong
Bb F
These lessons that I've learned
F Ab
These things I'll carry on
Ab Eb
And when you're gone I'll honor you
Eb Eb
Each day, however long
Bb
This glimmer of hope was never enough
F
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
Ab
I held out for and I received
Eb
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Bb
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
F Ab Eb
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty
Bb F
Like an apple from the tree
F Ab
you were lock jawed in your ways
Ab Eb
A reminder of myself in those long forgotten days
Bb F
Thought you'd stayed off my path
F Ab Eb
But I just couldn't see that the blood that's in your veins
Eb
Is the same that runs through me
Bb
This glimmer of hope was never enough
F
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
Ab
I held out for and I received
Eb
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Bb
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
F Ab Eb F
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty
Ab Eb
I had it all but lost my faith
Bb F
And then you lead me to it
Ab Eb F
Today I'll carry on
Ab Eb
I had it all but lost my faith
Bb F
And now I've renewed it
Ab Eb
These things I'll carry on
Bb
This glimmer of hope was never enough
F
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
Ab
I held out for and I received
Eb
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Bb
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
F Ab Eb F
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty
Ab Eb
I had it all but lost my faith
Bb F
And then you lead me to it
Ab Eb F
Today I'll carry on
Ab Eb
I had it all but lost my faith
Bb F
And now I've renewed it
Ab Eb
These things I'll carry on
