sugapablo, I think it is just a note run rather than a chord run. It is the first 4 notes of the A scale. You could play the chords A Bm C#m D, but it probably sounds better just playing the notes A B C# D instead.

Ok, I can’t find this anywhere…

What’s the chord run between the verse leading into the chorus? It sounds like it would be close to A->Bsus4->C->D, but that’s not quite right.

Anyone have a clue?

{original verse}

“a broken rib is better
than a busted heart
tearin’ you apart”

{alt: one time only, April 2005; I hear (you) instead of (I) but same thing.}

“a busted heart is better
than a broken rib
don’t know what you did”

I love that flub in all it’s serindipidious glory. Truth that even T’s ad-lib spontanaiety unfolds into beautiful poetry. Feel the rapture.

In almost every version i’ve heard I hear the lyrics as this everytime…”He’s got a silver tooth, that [Sparkles] when he speaks…”
C’mon, Sprinkles, you should have caught that in your transcription! ; )

After the “busted heart is better” lyric was sung, fans discussed whether there was a change being introduced in the song. Over time, without repeat of that version, I have grown to believe it was an “oops”, a mistake at first, seemlessly covered-up by Trevor’s ability to ad-lib within the song structure extemporaneously. The official lyrics as printed with the album can be found here: http://www.tealeafgreen.com/ly.....hp#rapture. I like Tgardner’s transcription better because it show some of the alternate lyrics that Trevor throws in from time to time.
