    Heeey guys, I recently heard In the mourning, and thought it was brilliant, so I tried to make up some chords for the song! Take a look at it, would you? And maybe give me some feedback? thanks!

     

    C                       C/Em        Em
    You escape like a runaway train
    C                       C/Em     Em
    Off the tracks and down again
    C                                    C/Em         Em
    My heart's beating like a steam boat tugging
    C         C/Em Em
    all your burdens
    C          C/Em Em
    On my shoulders

              C     G        D
    In the mourning I'll rise
              C     G          D
    In the mourning I'll let you die
               C C/Em Em
    In the mourning,
             C C/Em G
    all my worry.

    C                                  C/Em       Em
    Now there's nothing but time that's wasted
          C                          C/Em Em
    And words that have no backbone
    C                              C/Em           Em
    Now it seems like the whole world's waiting

    C          C/Em Em
    Can you hear the

    C         C/Em Em

    echoes fading?

             C        G      D
    In the mourning I'll rise
             C         G          D
    In the mourning I'll let you die
             C C/Em Em
    In the mourning,
             C C/Em G
    all my 'sorry's

    The C/Em chords i'm not really sure how to play, so I kind of made it up while watching Taylor play:

    e: 0
    B: 1
    G: 0
    D: 0
    A: 2
    E: x

     

    I may have failed big time on this, but give me some feedback anyways, and I'll maybe try to make a final map of the chords.

@BreatheForLoveTomorrow Yes, he does use the capo in the video. It gives it a nice sound, I think.

@YourWedgie and @driedzone, there are two good topics on this one. Might want to consolidate when the time is right.

BTW, @Melissa posted a version on YouTube that seems kind of close, with chords and a "how to" video that follows a capture of the original video:
