Intro: E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2

Verse 1:
   E minorEm          Dsus2Dsus2
It was seven o'clock in the morning,
  E minorEm        Dsus2Dsus2
Too late to handle the day,
  E minorEm          Dsus2Dsus2
At home, it was only two-thirty;
  E minorEm            Dsus2Dsus2
The skin on my wrists turning grey.


 E minorEm     A augmentedA
He stood up, wished us good luck,
  E minorEm          A augmentedA
He changed his attitude twice.
  E minorEm         A augmentedA
The box in the corner shivered in fear,
    C majorC          F# minorF#m
It was tired and hungry for days...

Verse 2:
  E minorEm             Dsus2Dsus2
The next year she bought a new stomach,
  E minorEm          Dsus2Dsus2
Of Liverpool, made in Detroit,
 E minorEm           Dsus2Dsus2
Constantly passing old matches,
   E minorEm        Dsus2Dsus2
Some sentries and millionaires.

E minorEm    A augmentedA
Who did? Gallagher did,
   E minorEm          A augmentedA
The same old thing every time.
E minorEm    A augmentedA
Gave up, more empty cups
      C majorC          F# minorF#m
They were tired and hungry for nights...


Verse 3:
E minorEm          Dsus2Dsus2
It made life a little easier,
E minorEm          Dsus2Dsus2
To have Holland on the run.
E minorEm              Dsus2Dsus2
It didn't take that long to forget her,
E minorEm         Dsus2Dsus2
My old man and his gun.

 E minorEm     A augmentedA
Rushed out, lions about,
 E minorEm        A augmentedA
Wasting away on advice.
  E minorEm           A augmentedA
A majorA hundred and three, four hundred or more,
    C majorC               F# minorF#m
It'll haunt you for the rest of your life...
