C           G  F
So now I am older
Em              F
Than my mother and father
Em              Dm
When they had their daughter
    G              F         G  G7
Now what does that say about me?
   C           G     F
Oh how could I dream of
Em                  F
Such a selfless and true love
Em             Dm
Could I wash my hands of?
G           F       G  G7
Just lookin out for me

  C                               G               F               Em

(Same as first verse)

In dirth or in excess
Both the slave and the empress
Will return to the dirt I guess
Naked as when they came
I wonder if I'll see
Any faces above me
Or just cracks in the ceiling
Nobody else to blame

Repeat chorus
However, only the G7 is fingerpicked 

The weird "ooooh" bit just alternates between a G and F strummed

Verse 3 isstrummed lightly, aside from after "name", where the G7 is again fingerpicked

Gold teeth and gold jewelry
Every piece of your dowry
Throw them into the tomb with me
Bury them with my name

strummed lightly from here on, aside from after the G7, which is again fingerpicked

Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering
In my underwaaaa
Em Dm
aaaay
G F G G7
ooooo

   F          Em      Dm (hold)
Oh man what I used to be
