 notes: the quick change to C and G at the end on many lines is omitted
 it occurs everywhere but  'if there ain't no wall / you got to move...'
 the run through from C to Am via the B note is a familiar ny trick...

 I caught you knocking at my cellar door,
 I love you baby can i have some more
 Oh-oh the damage done

 I hit the city and i lost my van
 I watched the needle take another man
 Gone, gone, the damage done

 I sing the song because i love the man
 I know that some of you don't understand
 Milk blood to keep from running out

 I've seen the needle and the damage down
 A little part of it in everyone
 Every junky's like a setting sun

 I've seen the needle and the damage down
 A little part of it in everyone
 Every junky's like a setting sun


 notes: as on the 'harvest' album.
 this is only a basic outlay - there are lots of variations you can do:
 hammering on or not, using the 5th string (the root of the chord) or the
 open 4th string (D) as the bass note, or to alternate. eg
 D --- --- -0- --- -0- --- -0- ---  --- --- -0- --- -0- --- -0- ---
 A -2- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---  -1- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
 E --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---  --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
 experiment! enjoy!
