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!
