Chords with lyrics
Hi everyone! Submitting my first tab here because this is one of my favorite songs off
of Remedy and I couldn't
find chords for it anywhere so I decided to figure it out myself. I was listening and
playing along with the
track while I wrote it down so it should be pretty accurate, you'll just have to figure
out the tempo. Hope you
enjoy it as much as I do!
No Capo, standard tuning
Walk down the E MajorE string when you go from G+G to E minorEm
Intro
G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
G+G C majorC
Living on bread and wine was easy
D MajorD G+G
for John and James and Mother Mary
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
and I'm no saint and that's my ball and chain
G+G C majorC
Cause when I'm passed that silver challis
D MajorD G+G
I always drink my fill until it
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
knocks me down and tangles up my brain
G+G D MajorD
Yeah buddy, it's a short life, it's a hell of a life
G+G C majorC
it's a mean old world, when you're kicked to the gutter
G+G D MajorD G+G
and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
Instrumental
G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
G+G C majorC
Walking through the graveyards and sleeping in alleys
D MajorD G+G
telling myself the same old stories
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Drinking that blood and calling it holy wine
G+G C majorC
Looking in windows and seeing a stranger
D MajorD G+G
going through hell like a fallen angel
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Feeling my bones getting old long before their time
G+G D MajorD
Yeah buddy, it's a short life, it's a hell of a life
G+G C majorC
it's a mean old world, when you're kicked to the gutter
G+G D MajorD
and the firewater gotcha talking in circles again
G+G D MajorD
It's an empty bottle passing around
G+G C majorC
when your hopes and dreams have all burned down
G+G D MajorD G+G
and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame
D MajorD G-C
Take me home, take me home
G+G D MajorD
Gather me up in your arms Lord have mercy divine
Instrumental
