Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)
From the album ''Roll the bones'' (1991)
The synth chords at the intro and after the chorus are omitted, but I'm pretty sure they are F#F# and E.
I added the B minorBm in the chorus to spice it up a little, but I think it's actually mostly just the bass.
