Darken My Door

Now that the band has released a video of the studio version, I figured it was time to update this post with Brian's parts.

Brian has three leads, but they're really similar. Once you learn one, it's mostly just about picking what parts to play in which order for the others. The tabs of the are at the bottom of the post.

For whatever it's worth, I think Ben probably plays power chords (F#5 and C#5) instead of actual minor chords, but the minors are implied by the key, so that's the way I listed them.

A C#m D F#m E A

Oh now darling please darken my door

A C#m D F#m E A

With me is where you belong
So bring your self on home
We'll tear this town down to the ground

White Water Tavern nights
Old songs and jugs of wine
There's no finer mess to be found

We'll hold to this one
I can still hear your footsteps crossing the floor
Come on now darling please darken my door

_____E____________________D_____________A
Your barefeet on hardwood barely make a sound
_________E___________________________D______________A
From the kitchen to the bedroom with all the lights down
___________F#m______E________D_____________A
A glass of water, a whiskey, smoke in your hair
______C#m___________B___________D
All I taste is that perfume you wear, that perfume you wear

I don't suspect that you'll stay
Gone are the good old days
But then weren't we sure something else

I've caused enough trouble here
So girl get it in high gear
And come save me from myself

We'll hold to this one
I can still smell that godawful perfume you wore
Come on now darling please darken my door
