_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] Hey everyone, thanks for being here.
I got a request from Garrett who wanted to learn how to play Silver Wings.
He wanted to learn the version by Garrett Hedlund, [E] but if you want to play that version
you can just take [N] the capo off.
I'm going to be doing the Merle Haggard version and we're going to be playing that with the
capo [E] on the second fret.
_ _ _ [A] _ [Em] _ [C#m] [E] We're going to have four chords in the song.
We're going to have D, E minor, [F#m] _ _
[B] A, _ _ _ [F#] and we're going to have E major also in there.
So those are all the chords for the [N] song.
We'll go ahead and zoom in here and I'll show you how to play the intro, the [Bm] verse, and the [E] chorus.
It's just basic strumming for this song.
_ So let's get started on that. _
[C#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ Okay, so for the intro we're just playing the D chord.
I'm doing [C] a hammer-on on the fifth string, [B] open [F#] to the [B] second fret, [F#m] _ [E] _ and then open fourth string.
[B] So, [F#]
[B] and [C#] _ [E] _ _ [C#m] _ [E] _ then we're going into [A] the D chord.
So here's what that looks like one more [B] time.
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The strumming pattern for this song is just going to be straight up down, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and you can
alternate on the bass notes if you want.
For the D chord you can hit the D, _ fourth string, then the fifth string. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So [C#m] for the E minor you [F#m] can hit the sixth string, then the fifth string to _ _ _ [E] alternate the [Am] basses.
And for the A you can [B] hit the fifth string, and then the sixth string.
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [E] So we'll go, I'll go play the intro [A#] one more time and then we'll go [C#] straight into the first verse. _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ Okay, that's the first verse for you.
And then for the [F#m] chorus we're going to start out [E] on the E minor chord.
So here's the [F#m] chorus.
_ And _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D#] _
[E] _ _ what I'm doing there is for this D, I'm playing the D, and then [D#] I'm going to play
the bass note up here [A] on the fifth [G#m] string, [E] fourth fret.
_ [D#] _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] So here's the [E] start of the chorus again.
[F#m] _ _
Don't leave me, [B] I _ _ [E] won't take that airplane ride. _
[F#] Just lock me out, _ _ _ _ I'm standing here [B] behind. _
_ _ _ _ _ And [E] then we go back into another verse.
And that's really all there is to that.
So what I'm going to do right now, if you still need a little bit [N] of help with it, I'm
going to play the intro, verse and chorus, and I'll just play all that straight through
for you if you still need a little bit of help.
[G#] So here we go one [B] more time.
_ [C#m] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Silver wings, _ _ _ _ shining in the sunlight. _ _
_ _ [F#m] Roaring engine, _ _ _ _ headed somewhere [B] in flight. _ _
_ _ They're taking you [E] _ away, _ _ _ leaving me _ lonely.
_ _ _ [F#m] Silver wings, _ _ [B] _ slowly [F#m] fading down [E] the side.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] Don't leave me, [B] I _ _ won't [E] take that airplane ride. _
[F#] Cause you've locked me out of your mind, _ and left me standing here [B] behind. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ [C] Alright everyone, if you haven't subscribed yet, please [N] do that.

I appreciate all of you guys so much.
