Try

By Michael Penn

Things to note:

• I've included the riffs he plays throughout the tune... I hope they're decent and readable.
• I figured this out with a Capo on the 3rd fret. 'Tis up to you.

 Play this riff twice...



...Then play a 2/4 measure of G with a nice little crescendo... 

A         Em      G                    D       E     G      D
-- Picked up that something of it that I could still try to make

A      Em       G             D         E    G    Bm          
--Then watch me blink and overlook what I -- undertake

    A       G5    F#5  B5  A5      A/G   Bm
But I don't try............I don't try....

    A             G      A 
And I don't wanna try to anymore


(Play first bar of riff then a bar of G)

A       Em     G                 D          E           G    D
I would choose to accuse you and strike the fire, issue a decree

A       Em     G                  D        E              G       Bm
Ask you why... watch you take the fifth as I give you the third degree

    A       G5    F#5  B5  A5      A/G   Bm
But I don't try............I don't try....

A             G       A  
I don't wanna try you anymore

D       G      A
I don't try to anymore

D       G       A
I won't try you anymore


(Play first bar of riff then a bar of G)


       A                 G
With a witness dismissed it's adjourned

       Bm             Em             G
And by heart the only rope that it's learned is

A             G7                 F#sus             E7
Mercifully do not prolong if the way   I'm rubbing you is wrong

A       Em/G   G      Em    D        Em      G
That is why  I kept away so I'd look strange at your door

A     Em       G    Bm
In my way..... In a nutshell 

A (2/4 bar) G    F#  B5  A5
I don't     try

I don't 


.....try.........

              G       A
I don't wanna try you anymore

D       G      A
I can't try to anymore

D       G       A
I can't try you anymore

D       Em     A
I don't try.....   (nine!)
