Truth In Songs chords

[Verse]
F                   C
Highway boys on the road tonight
     F                C
Got a gig out at the Ryman
F                   C
Finally learned the hard way
     F        G           C
That all good things take time friend
 
[Verse]
F                     C
I heard they'll pay a lost soul
F              C
To sing songs so true
F                   C
To make an Oke boy cry
 F          G           C
Turn a northeastern man blue
 
[Chorus]
           F          C      G       Am
I want to drive that K10 to way back when
       F          C              G       Am
Sleep next to the river hear it rushing again

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



       F        C            G       Am
Get my no good soul back to where it belongs
     F    C             G       Am
And do my best to keep truth in songs
     F    C             G       Am
And do my best to keep truth in songs




How to play "Truth In Songs" by Bryan Zach on guitar.

This song is a beautiful example of storytelling through music, combining
simple chord progressions with profound lyrics. The chord progression F, C, G,
and Am is common, yet the way it's used here adds a unique flavor to the song.
This composition is perfect for beginner to intermediate guitar players looking
to practice chord transitions and rhythm.

The song consists of verses and a chorus that share a similar chord
progression, but with a focus on the lyrical narrative. Here's how to approach
each part:

Verses:
  Start with the F chord, then transition to C. This back-and-forth
  progression forms the foundation of the verses. The transition to G and then
  back to C adds a slight twist, emphasizing the song's lyrical themes. For
  strumming, maintain a steady rhythm, focusing on the downstroke and allowing
  the story in the lyrics to shine through.

Chorus:
  The chorus introduces Am into the mix, creating a fuller sound that
  highlights the emotional climax of the song. The progression F, C, G, Am
  offers a melodic lift from the verses, providing a contrast that underlines
  the song's message. The strumming here can be a bit more dynamic, but it
  should still allow the lyrics to be the central focus.

For playing "Truth In Songs," the key elements are the emotive delivery of the
