INTRO: RIFF 1 - 2x`s
VERSE:
RIFF 1
I am levitating
RIFF 1
Somewhere down the road
RIFF 2
With a price on my head
RIFF 1
And the shadow of a black crow
RIFF 1
He`s been on my tail
RIFF 1
For close to three days
RIFF 2
Just a little souvenir
RIFF 3
Of my wicked ways
CHORUS:
G+G A augmentedA
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
D MajorD 
B minorBm
Father forgive me what my mother don`t know
E minorEm 
F#7F#7
The scratch marks on my soul
B minorBm G+G RIFF 4
From the shadow of a black crow
VERSE:
RIFF 1
I`ve got a box of reds
RIFF 1
And a bottle of the blues
RIFF 2
Comes a time in your life
RIFF 1
Honey you`ve gotta choose
RIFF 1
My belly`s on fire
RIFF 1
From the acid of the truth
RIFF 2
All the untold lies
RIFF 3
Of my misspent youth
CHORUS:
G+G A augmentedA
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
D MajorD B minorBm
Father forgive me what my mother don`t know
E minorEm F#7F#7
The scratch marks on my soul
B minorBm G+G
From the shadow of a black crow
BREAK:
G+G B minorBm
It`s pretty when you`re young
G+G B minorBm
Just a pity when you`re old, yeah
G+G B minorBm
A minorAm I running away
G+G E MajorE RIFF 4
Or am I closer to home
VERSE:
RIFF 1
The lines and the signs
RIFF 1
The miles go by
RIFF 2
No one ever bothered
RIFF 1
To even ask me why
RIFF 1 (partial)
So I am disappearing
RIFF 1
Into this road
RIFF 2
With a six pack of sorrow
RIFF 3
And the shadow of a black crow
CHORUS:
G+G A augmentedA
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
D MajorD B minorBm
Father forgive me what my mother don`t know
E minorEm F#7F#7
The scratch marks on my soul
CHORUS:
G+G A augmentedA
I would rather die fast than to ever live slow
D MajorD B minorBm
Father forgive me what my mother don`t know
E minorEm 
F#F#
The scratch marks on my soul
B minorBm
From the shadow of a black crow
