Grizzly Bear Ready, Able Lyrics

You'll have to listen to the song while you're practicing to fully understand how to
play it. THE VERSE IS PLAYED IN 4/4 TIMING where as THE BRIDGE AND CHORUS ARE PLAYED IN
3/4 TIMING, so you need a good enough understanding of music theory to play the song.
C (palm mute and pluck throughout the verse at a steady pace)
I'm gonna take a stab at this
sure you will be alright
make a decision with a kiss
baby I have false spite
(The bridge is pretty straight forward, just remember that it is in 3/4 timing!)
And when I trek alone back home
I make sure I trek in the snow
Would I fall?
C (same as verse before)
Tissue and bones, it was a trick
this isn't a gun-fight
checking it off of my list
unable to rewrite
(Bridge, same as before)
Five years cast once and far alone
hope I'm ready, able to make my own
Goodbye
(For this part, the chorus, you play the Dm for 2 bars, as well as the Am and G. This
part is also in 3/4 timing.)
Repeat 4 times
They go, we go
I want you to know
what I did, I did
(For this next part play the Dm for 4 bars, and the Am and G for 2).
(repeat chorus twice, the second time you play Dm for 4 bars).
They go, we go
I want you to know
what I did, I did
After the last chorus is a play off using the chords from the chorus (in that same order).
I prefer to end on a Dm because it sounds jazzy, and it fits nicely, but go ahead and
end on Am if you like.
