Chords with lyrics
I was reading the tabs on this site and came up with this alternative.
The verse is E minorEm and B minorBm but I think the song is the E minorEm bar chord on fret 7 5th string and
fret 7 barred accross from the 5th string like this:
--7---7--|
--8---7--|
--9---7--|
--9---7--|
--7---7--|
---------|
This doesn't apply to the verse which I use all bar chords for. The guitar chords in the
Nick Cave recording are just strung once and let ring with a whole bunch echoe and
droney stuff.
E minorEm B minorBm
I began to warm and chill
E minorEm B minorBm
To objects and their fields
E minorEm B minorBm
A augmentedA ragged cup, a twisted mop
E minorEm B minorBm
The face of Jesus in my soup
E minorEm B minorBm
Those sinister dinner deals
E minorEm B minorBm
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
E minorEm B minorBm
A augmentedA hooked bone rising from my
E minorEm B minorBm
food. All things good or ungood.
E minorEm
And the mercy seat is waiting
E minorEm
And I think my head is burning
B minorBm
And in a way I'm yearning to be
D MajorD
done with all this measuring of

truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a

tooth, And anyway I told the
C majorC E minorEm
truth, And I'm not afraid to die.
etc.
