Bright Smile
By Josh Ritter
Chords by Matt Rowley

Capo 1st fret

Intro: D / A / D / A / G X 2
D throught sound like D no 3rd (don't play the F# on the 1 string)

Here is the actual picking structure for the intro which continues through the song.
I'm not sure what happens at the chord switch at the end of the phrase (Matt interprets it as a "G" chord).

D A D A
now my work is done
D A D A
I feel I'm owed some joy
D A G A D
oh Imogene and Abelard
A D A
I'm your homeward boy
D A D A
but there's another one
D A D A
who brings me to your door
D A G A
and the boat she weaved from the tidal reeds
D A D A
was always tied to shore

D A D A
with bright smiles and dark eyes
D A G A
bright smile dark eyes
D A G
everywhere I went oh
A D
I was always searching for ya
D A G A
bright smile dark eyes
D A D A
Iím looking for some peace
D A D A
but it's so hard to find

... with Calamity Janes and the Steamboat Casanovas
and Darling Clementines
if she's your only one
then she is also mine
just pin your heartbeat up against my heartbeat
and you'll see how well we rhyme
with bright smiles and dark eyes
bright smile dark eyes
everywhere I went oh
I was always looking for ya
bright smile dark eyes

Bm A G
man is only half himself
Bm?
the other half is a bright thing
Bm A G
he tumbles on by luck or grace
Bm
for man is ever a blind thing

D A D A ....
bright smiles and dark eyes
bright smile dark eyes
everywhere I went oh
I was always looking for ya
bright smile dark eyes
