That Old Black Hole chords by Dr Dog

Chords with lyrics

rock this one out on the acoustic if you get the strumming down, especially the double
time part. I tried to nail the chord changes on the lyrics but this editor kinda sucks.
Maybe my first and last guitar tab! Feel free to contact me at [email protected].


Intro: Gmin - 4bars

Gm9Gm9           BB
I put on my clothes like a body guard
    Cm7Cm7           E MajorE
I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
Gm9Gm9              BB
I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready
  Cm7Cm7               E MajorE
And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady

     E MajorE
There's an elephant in my head
   BB
And I tip toe around it
     Cm7Cm7
There are eggshells on the floor
     E MajorE
Therefore I never touch the ground

        E MajorE
It's like that old black hole,
 F#maj
No matter how you try,
 F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive

    Gm9Gm9
I got my eyes on the prize
    BB
But it looks just like a mystery
    Cm7Cm7         E MajorE
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
  Gm9Gm9              BB
I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls
     Cm7Cm7            E MajorE
And the show really starts once the curtain falls

     E MajorE
Take this thorn from my side
     BB
Fix this chip on my shoulder
     Cm7Cm7
Time is racing with the clock
     E MajorE
And I ain't getting any older

        E MajorE
It's like that old black hole,
 F#maj
No matter how you try,

        E MajorE
It's like that old black hole,
 F#maj
No matter how you try,

        E MajorE
It's like that old black hole,
 F#maj
No matter how you try,
 F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive

Gmin("Whoo!")


BB
I put on my finest thread
   BB                Cm7Cm7
And I wrap up my body tight
           Cm7Cm7
With the sun in my eyes
         BB
I step into the night
    Cm7Cm7        E MajorE
Like the mystery in the dark
Oh, it's just another kind of light

   BB
I don't expect you to believe me
   Cm7Cm7       BB
But everything is al--right
     BB
I don't make rules for a living
   BB              Cm7Cm7
I don't do tricks for a dime

         Cm7Cm7
I was born on a good day,
         BB
Deaf, dumb and blind.
   Cm7Cm7      E MajorE
Who am I to tell the truth?

I don't even know what it is.


 BB              Cm7Cm7        BB
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
 BB              Cm7Cm7        BB
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.


(now for the fun..double time)

   BB
I tie my boots up tight
 BB
And I head straight for bed
     Cm7Cm7
There's a pistol and a crystal
Cm7Cm7
Underneath my pillow

    BB
There's a tender heart
      BB
Inside that ugly armadillo
     Cm7Cm7
"These are tears of joy,"
     F#maj
Cried the weeping willow

    E MajorE
There's a spirit in the air
    F#maj
And there ain't no way around it
   BB
I was not prepared to lose it
    Cm7Cm7
On the moment that I found it

        E MajorE
It's like that old black hole,
 F#maj
No matter how you try,

        E MajorE
It's like that old black hole,
 F#maj
No matter how you try,

        E MajorE
It's like that old black hole,
 F#maj
No matter how you try,
 F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive
