The World I Know
A#m-------C#---F# --------Has my conscience shown? (H)A#m---/G#---F# --------Has the sweet breeze blown? (H)A#m---C#------F# --------Has all the kindness gone? (H)A#m-----/G#--F# --------Hope still lingers on. G#------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- I drink myself of newfound pity sitting alone in New York City ---------F# and I don't know why. A#m-------C#--F# --------Are we listening (H)A#m---/G#-------F# --------To hymns of offering? (H)A#m----C#---F# --------Have we eyes to see (H)A#m-----/G#----F# --------That love is gathering? G#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- All the words that I've been reading have now started the act of bleeding F#------ into one. C#-------------------------G#----------------------------F# ----- So I walk up on high and I step to the edge -----------------------------------C# (add notes D#-F-F#-F-D# on D string of C chord) ----- to see my world below. C#----------------------G#----------------------------B ----- And I laugh to myself as the tears roll down, -----------------------------------F#---------------------------A#m--F#--A#m--F# ----- 'cause it's the world I know. It's the world I know. Edited to add: spacing is pretty much fixed. |

What does the (H) mean?

I'm sorry. I've redone this a number of times and tried to make it less confusing so I took out the explanation for (H). It means to hammer on the D string, 2nd finger of the Am chord. It's an Eb note going to an F. If you pretend you're doing a regular Am with no capo, it would be playing an Am but with an open D string and then you bring your finger down on the second fret on the E note to form the complete Am.
See, that's why I took it out. You'll hear him do it. Listen for an extra note in there at that point and that's the hammering you hear. I fixed the spacing (again!) and fixed one mistake - I had F instead of F#. The/G# means add a G# bass to the A#m chord. |

Ah. Yes. I can see why you took that out. Yeah, I'm pretty new to guitar, so I'm pretty sure I only have the vaguest idea of what you're talking about. But really, thank you for attempting to teach me that. I'm sure it'll come in handy when I get...better. LOL. I'm gonna work on it.
