Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball

Originally in Dm, Walk off the Earth in Bm, I play in Em capo 2

Highest note that matters is the 6 of the minor key (“came in like a wreck”)

Intro

EmG/DDAm

Vox on 5 1 on “we clawed”

We Emclawed, we chained our Ghearts in vain

We Djumped, never asking Amwhy

We Emkissed, I fell unGder your spell

A Dlove no one could Amdeny

Vox down to the 3 of the chord on “don’t you”

CDon’t you ever say EmI just walked away

CI can’t live a lie Emrunning for my life

GI will always want yCou

Vox on the 4 of the major key on “came in like a wreck”
