Dsus2: 200320

Intro: A minorAm G+G Dsus2Dsus2 A minorAm

     Verse
 A minorAm
 Dead before the sun could rise
 G+G
 I stole the silver off my lover’s eyes
 Dsus2Dsus2
 Rolled out on the dark demise
            A minorAm  G+G
 Of midnight’s breaking day
 A minorAm
 I was born full grown and raised up wild
 G+G
 All mortal bones and passions piled
 G+G
 Upon my head the blessed child
         A minorAm
 The father of the man

     Chorus
     G+G             A minorAm
 I cut my hair and caught a train to Jackson
     G+G
 I took a name and found the range
     A minorAm
 Where my voice could make no sound
    G+G             A minorAm
 I met a man he told me “Son, I can see you’re on the run
    G+G              Dsus2Dsus2            A minorAm  G+G Dsus2Dsus2 A minorAm
 If you tell me where you’re going, I’ll tell you where you’re bound

      Verse
 A minorAm
 They put me off outside of town
 G+G
 A augmentedA cold black rain was coming down
 Dsus2Dsus2
 I lay my head on the red clay ground
             A minorAm   G+G
 And slept for a thousand years
 A minorAm
 I woke into a fever dream
 G+G
 Where silence talked and money screamed
 Dsus2Dsus2
And nothing was but only seemed
          A minorAm
And nobody seemed to care

     Chorus

     G+G               A minorAm
I cut my teeth on the bread of pure temptation
     G+G
I tried it all and I learned to fall
       A minorAm
Like I would never hit the ground
    G+G                     A minorAm
I met a ghost who looked like me I asked him, “Is it plain to see
     G+G     Dsus2Dsus2      A minorAm  G+G Dsus2Dsus2 A minorAm
Or is it hidden?”  He never made a sound

      Verse
    A minorAm
I was a lion in a circus ring
 G+G
A augmentedA scarecrow dressed up like a king
Dsus2Dsus2
Innocent of anything
          A minorAm  G+G
Like love and going blind
 A minorAm
So I set all my clothes on fire
 G+G
 Sold my soul to any buyer
Dsus2Dsus2
Wrapped my heart in concertina wire
          A minorAm
And showed it for a song

     Chorus
    G+G           A minorAm
I cut and run I ran until I stumbled
      G+G
I struck out alone a rolling stone
   A minorAm
Forty days came up and down
      G+G                A minorAm
I chased the river to the source I met a girl on a pale horse
   G+G                Dsus2Dsus2
She pressed her fingers up against my lips
            A minorAm   G+G Dsus2Dsus2 A minorAm
And I fell down dead and gone
