 Variant E MajorE

Anytime these chords are mentioned they are played as above, unless otherwise noted.
All other chords are regular power chords.

Introduction:
Play chords BB
2nd time play chords D#D#

Verse:
A augmentedA
I went down to the tracks
G#G#
thinking what they might say to me.
A augmentedA
But they just stared back
  G#G#
broken, trainless and black as night.

Then play AbAb

verse:
Climbed out onto my roof, so I'd be a poet in the night.
Beat the walls of my room, I saw the big room that is this life.

Chorus:
E(reg)
   This is my Condition,
E MajorE var.      during this part the bass plays: BB
Naked and hysterical, reaching to grab a hand that I just slapped back at.
E(reg)

   This is my Condition
E MajorE var.       as above.
Desperate, alone, without an excuse, tried to explain, Christ what's the use.

At the end of the chorus the guitar does a hammer on repeatedly,
on the 3rd string notes 8/9.

Intro:
Verse:
Read and I felt so small, some words keep speaking when you close the book.
Drank and just about smiled, then I remember us in that bed.

Put my ear to the door, I just heard hot rods and gunshots and sirens.
People kill me these days, they have keys in their eyes but they lock from the inside.

Chorus:

Outro:

play AbAb then
3rd-|-----13/14----13----11--|
D#D#

Continue this for A augmentedA

then repeat outro till he stops talking.
