Verse 1:
D MajorD D/F#* G*
Spinning that stone uphill again
Em/G* D MajorD
Like atonement for a bygone sin
D/F#D/F# G+G
Under the weight of it, my bones
Em/GEm/G D MajorD
Cracking like a dry branch in a westward wind
D/F#* G*
But Zeus and his pantheon of kin
Em/G* D MajorD
Take the first nine out of every ten
D/F#D/F# G+G
Minas, like lightning changing hands
E minorEm
It all returns back to his pockets, in the end
Chorus:
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Em/GEm/G B minorBm
You can't take any gold or rings further than the grave
D/AD/A
Nothing we make can we bring
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minorEm
But still the bait hanging from the string is calling my name
Asus4Asus4 G+G
And like the wind it slips again
D MajorD
Out of my fingers
Interlude:

Verse 2:
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
As Fortuna sits idly by
E minorEm D MajorD
I spin her wheel with all my might
D/F#D/F# G+G
Crushing my kin for warring-wage
E minorEm D MajorD
Minted from the ivory of your tooth and eye
Dsus2/F# Gmaj7Gmaj7
Under the table where she dines
Em* D MajorD
I sit hungry with my mouth foamed white
Dsus2/F# Gmaj7*
Fighting for crumbs that trickle down
E minor 7Em7
As she finishes her cake, then takes a bite from mine
Chorus:
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Em/GEm/G B minorBm
You can't take any gold or rings further than the grave
D/AD/A
Nothing we make can we bring
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minorEm
But still the bait hanging from the string is calling my name
Asus4Asus4 G+G
And like the wind it slips again
D MajorD
Out of my fingers
