 G
I've been over drinkin'

And you just learn to say you're alright
 G                       D

Those bastards get richer while the poor dig ditches
    A                    Bm
to bury their dreamin in
     G                   D
and labour done cheap at 5am
       A                      Bm
is the reason they're sleeping in
    G                         D
old men build churches so the kids find worth it
  A                      Bm
something bigger than themselves
        G               D
but the uncorruptable don't exist
        A                         Bm
and you can't buy your way out of hell

as one of your sorry fools
  G                     D
Poems and closing time, oh sweet love of mine
    A                       Bm

How to play "Poems And Closing Time" by Bryan Zach on the guitar offers
an intimate look into the complexities of emotions, solitude, and the search
for truth within the chaos of life. This song, with its reflective lyrics and the
comforting chord progression of G, D, A, Bm, speaks to the soul's yearnings
and the solace found in music and poetry. Let's dive into how to bring
this song to life through your guitar playing.

Chorus and Verse Chord Progression:
The heart of the song lies in its chorus and verses, which both follow the
chord progression G, D, A, Bm. This progression sets a reflective and
somewhat melancholic tone, perfectly capturing the song's emotional depth.
The transition between these chords should be smooth, allowing the narrative
to unfold seamlessly, and the lyrics to resonate fully with the listener.

Solo Sections:
The solo sections follow the same chord progression (G, D, A, Bm) and offer
a moment of musical reflection, mirroring the narrative's exploration of
introspection and the pursuit of understanding. These sections are an
opportunity to express the song's themes instrumentally, providing a bridge
between the lyrical content and the emotions it evokes.

Bridge Dynamics:
The bridge ("Closing time, I'm lost again past two") also utilizes the chord
progression of G, D, A, Bm, but with a shift in dynamics to highlight the
emotional climax of the song. This part of the song serves as a moment
of realization and acceptance, underscored by the chords that have
carried the song's narrative.

Playing Techniques and Tips:
- Strumming Pattern: Choose a strumming pattern that complements the song's
reflective nature. A combination of downstrokes for emphasis and upstrokes for
a lighter touch can effectively convey the song's emotional and narrative shifts.
- Dynamics: Pay attention to the song's emotional highs and lows, adjusting your
playing dynamics to reflect the shifts from the reflective verses
to the more resolved chorus and bridge.
- Emotional Delivery: The essence of "Poems And Closing Time" lies in its
emotional delivery. Let the chord transitions and your strumming reflect the nuances
of the story being told, creating a cohesive and emotionally resonant performance.
