Chords with lyrics
The main riff of the verse contains two chords, FF and C. You should fastly pick
3-4 strums of FF and then the rest of the phrase is C majorC
It is better to use these fingerings:
C: 0
1 1
2 0
3 2
3 3
x x
C majorC
When the soul of the city
C majorC
Was laid to rest
C majorC
And the nights forgotten
A minorAm
And left for dead
FF
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
I happened on a house
Built of living light
Where everything evil
Disappears and dies
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
FF
When they love you, and they will
FF
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
FF
And if they try to slow you down
FF
Tell 'em all to go to hell
I settled in slowly
To this house that you call home
To blood and breath
Fear, flesh and bone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
Rush of our bodies
In the heat of the night
All day the day after
Red in the skies
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
It's a lifeless life
With no fixed address to give
But you're not mine to die for anymore
So I must live
Born of a bottle
From heaven's hand
And now you know
And here I am
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
When they love me, and they will
I'll tell 'em all they'll love in your shadow
And if they try to slow me down
