Stick Season Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to Stick Season by chords and guitar lesson by Noah Kahan. I remember the first time I heard this song on YouTube music. I'm usually not into newer music but it was really the lyrics that caught my attention.
I heard the song and said, wow this is some great song writing. And being a New Englander that often lives through Stick Season, I thought it appropriate to try a newer song that is a lot of fun to play.
The chords below are relative to a capo being played on the second fret of the guitar.

CAPO 2nd Fret
Intro:
G G
VERSE:
G G
As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
D D
You must have had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
Em Em
'Cause your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
C C
Kept on driving straight and left our future to the right
VERSE:
G G
Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
D D
And memories are something even smoking weed does not replace
Em Em
And I am terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains
C C
Doc told me to travel but there's COVID on the planes
CHORUS:
G*
And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks and I
D*
Saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
Em*
And it's half my fault but I just like to play the victim
D* D
I'll drink alcohol till my friends come home for Christmas
G G
And I'll dream each night of some version of you
D D
That I might not have but I did not lose
Em Em
Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes
D E G G
And I'm split in half but that'll have to do ooh ooh
VERSE:
G G
So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad
D D
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad
Em Em
No, I am no longer funny 'cause I miss the way you laugh
D D
You once called me forever, now you still can't call me back
CHORUS:
G G
And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks and I
D D
Saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
Em Em
And it's half my fault but I just like to play the victim
C C
I'll drink alcohol till my friends come home for Christmas
G G
And I'll dream each night of some version of you
D D
That I might not have but I did not lose
Em Em
Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes
D E G
And I'm split in half but that'll have to do ooh ooh
BRIDGE:
G D D
Oh, that'll have to do
Em Em
My other half was you
C
I hope this pain's just passing through
D
But I doubt it
CHORUS:
G*
And I love Vermont but it's the season of the sticks and I
D*
Saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
Em*
And it's half my fault but I just like to play the victim
D* D
I'll drink alcohol till my friends come home for Christmas
G G
And I'll dream each night of some version of you
D D
That I might not have but I did not lose
Em Em
Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes
D E G G
And I'm split in half but that'll have to do ooh ooh
