This song starts on the chorus and the intro picking pattern is played through it,

except you leave out the little slide on the A chord for each chorus.

At the end of each chorus, the A is strummed instead of picked, to lead into the

Am at the start of the verse. It's strummed like this:

G|...-----0---2---2--2-2--2-2---2--2-2--2-2--etc.

v ^ ^ v ^ v ^ ^ v ^ v

Play the verses like this:

> When you get to the G at the end of the first & second lines of each

verse, only strum the lowest 3 or 4 strings and dont hit the highest 2

strings.

> Play the D like this with a hammer-on:

G|--2---2--2-2---2---2-etc.

v ^ ^ v v ^

> When you're playing the G on the third line, only hit the top

3 or 4 strings like before; and there's a little picked bit in it like

this:

v ^ ^ ^ v ^

> In every verse except the first one, hold the Am at the beginning of the

first line for one extra bar.

> In the last verse, there's a picked bit on the C at the

start of the third line like this:

v v ^ ^

> On the very last line ('Home sweet home') strum the chords instead of

picking them.

Well enough talk, here's the song:

Intro

Chorus 1 (picked):

You've got her in your pocket

And there's no way out now

Put it in the safe and lock it

C Em7 A(strummed)

'cause it's home sweet home

Verse 1:

Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way

To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way

And you'll be there if she ever feels blue

And you'll be there when she finds someone new

A D (picked to begin chorus)

What to do, Well you know

Chorus 2 (picked):

You keep her in your pocket

Where there's no way out now

Put it in the safe and lock it

'cause it's home sweet home

Verse 2:

The smile on your face made her think she had the right one

Then she thought she was sure by the way you two could have fun

But now she might leave like she's threatened before

Grab hold of her fast before her feet leave the floor

And she's out the door

D (picked to begin chorus)

'cause you want

Chorus 3 (picked):

To keep her in your pocket

Where there's no way out now

Put it in the safe and lock it

'cause it's home sweet home

Verse 3:

And in your own mind you know you're lucky just to know her

And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her

But now you're scared you think she's running away

You search in your head for something clever to say

Don't go away

D (picked to begin chorus)

'cause I want

Chorus 4 (picked):

To keep you in my pocket

Where there's no way out now

Put it in the safe and lock it

'cause it's home sweet home

Home sweet home
