[Verse 1]
D
Well, I'm distracted
G      D G
Pardon me
D                     
I been running through 
        C
my own mind
     Bm                  F
Just trying to hide from me
   E7       D
My legs are shakin'
G         D   G
Knees are weak
D                  C
Palms are sweating bullets
      Bm                F
And I can't unclench my teeth
    E7   A
And all along the thing I needed
      G               
Was a peaceful seat at 
            D  A
your right hand

[Chorus]
    D        C         G   
And grateful ain't the word
          D
 to do it justice
       C         G            D
I have found the one made for me
         C               G       
And I am through with my tireless 
         D
endless searching
       C         G              D
I have found the place where I am free

[Verse 2]
D
Melt to nothing
G       D    G
Fade to black
D               C         
Fear leaving my body feels
      G             F
 just like a heart attack
    E7       D                   G
And love has answered to my call
D                            C    
I was baptized when the floodgates
           G            F
 opened up once and for all
    E7            A
And all along the thing I needed
      G                           D A
Was a peaceful seat at your right hand

[Chorus]
    D        C         G      
And grateful ain't the word to
       D
 do it justice
       C         G            D
I have found the one made for me
         C              
And I am through with my
 G                D
 tireless endless searching
       C         G              D
I have found the place where I am free

to do it justice
       C         G            D
I have found the one made for me
    D    C              
And I am through with my 
 G                D
tireless endless searching
       C         G           F  D

           C         G    
And I have found the place 
          D
where I am free

How to play Pardon Me: key, chords and progression

These are Pardon Me chords by 49 Winchester for Piano and Ukulele.

Pardon Me by 49 Winchester is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 9 chords: D, C, G, Bm, F, E7, A, Bb and Asus4.

Listen for D – C – G – D (V – IV – I – V in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Bm, F and Bb are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
