Chords with lyrics

Intro: A minorAm D MajorD

  A minorAm				D MajorD
I know what it means to get knocked down drunk,
  A minorAm				   D MajorD
I was lying in a bush by the coal,
  	  A minorAm
where the river runs deep
	G+G
& the demons don't sleep
    D MajorD
& the water's obscured by the smoke.
	A minorAm		  D MajorD
Well I drug myself to the river's edge
 	A minorAm		  D MajorD
& I drank like a dog on the sand.
  A minorAm
It burned my tongue,
	 G+G
my whole head gets spun
   D MajorD
& I stood on the stone
   D MajorD
& I spoke to the wind and the rain.

A minorAm		D MajorD
A minorAm		D MajorD

	A minorAm			 D MajorD
Said I know what it means to get left for dead,
	 A minorAm		 	   D MajorD
when the saints rise up at the sound.
	 A minorAm
When the spirits don't move in
	G+G
their chains and the shoes
	 D MajorD
and the crack of the guns all around.
  A minorAm			D MajorD
I know how it is to get all dressed up,
	A minorAm			  D MajorD
where nobody would know where to go.
	A minorAm
With a fifth in your vest,
	 G+G
and some pills on your tongue
   D MajorD
and a gun looking out across
the Valley of the Shadow below, oh.

A minorAm		D MajorD
A minorAm		D MajorD

	A minorAm
Well I preached to the bums
	D MajorD
and I preached to the birds
	A minorAm			 D MajorD
til the crowd had started to form.
   A minorAm
My disciples that came,
	   G+G
through the wind and the rain
	D MajorD
and the rags in their jackets all torn.
	A minorAm		  D MajorD
Well I prophesized of the things to come
	A minorAm			 D MajorD
and I jumped like a bug on a wall,
    A minorAm
til my head it was through
     G+G
with the river's strange brew
    D MajorD
and I sunk to my knees, in the breeze,
			A minorAm
and I started to pray,
	  D MajorD
I said hey!
	  A minorAm			   D MajorD
You know I ain't got a dang thing to say,
	A minorAm			G+G
with a head full of booze and nothing to loose
	D MajorD
for a creature was made out of clay, hey!

A minorAm		D MajorD

	A minorAm			 D MajorD
Said I know what it means to get left for dead,
	 A minorAm		 	   D MajorD
when the saints rise up at the sound.
	 A minorAm
When the spirits don't move in
	G+G
their chains and the shoes
	 D MajorD
and the crack of the guns all around.
  A minorAm			D MajorD

	A minorAm			  D MajorD
where nobody would know where to go.
	A minorAm

	 G+G

   D MajorD
and a gun looking out across
the Valley of the Shadow below, oh.
