C G/C F G
C G/C F G
C F
You can tell me your troubles
G C
I'll listen for free
C F G
My regulars trust me, it seems
C F
You can come and see Uncle
G C
To get through the week
F G
Leave your pledges with me to redeem
C F
Some folk sell their bodies
G C
For ten bob a go
C F G
Politicians go pawning their souls
C F
Which doesn't make me
G C F
Look too bad, don't you know me
G
With my heart full of holes
Dm Asus4/Db
All my yesterdays broken
F Asus4/Db Dm
A watch with no face
F Dm/B
All battered and old
Dm Asus4/Db
Bits of the movement
F Dm/B Bb
All over the place
G
And a heart full of holes
C G/C
A heart full of holes
F G
A heart full of holes
C G/C
A heart full of holes
F G
A heart full of holes
C F
Brass knuckles and banjos
G C
Are out on the town
At the knees-up
F G
In Teddy Boys' Row
C F
The gold block and tackle
G C
Tells the time upside down
F G
Rock n' roll, well, I don't know
Dm Asus4/Db
Dead people's wedding gifts
F Asus4/Db
Walk out the door
Dm F Dm/B
A clarinet squeals to be free
Dm Asus4/Db
Accordions hop
F Dm/B
From the shelves to the floor
Bb G
Start playing their polkas to me
Dm F G Dm G F G
Dm F G Dm G F G
C F
There's a ringing of bells
G C
A dunderhead's curse
C F G
Fingers are pointing at you
C F
And you take work in hell
G C
And be glad it's not worse
F G
And you get to the back of the queue
Dm Asus4/Db
Handcuffs and hunting knives
F Asus4/Db
Clang on the bars
Dm F Dm/B
Air pistols shoot out the lights
Dm Asus4/Db
I've a whole Wailing Wall
F Dm/B
Of electric guitars
Bb G
Could shatter the windows
Down Brick Lane tonight
C F
If one of us dies, love
G C
I think I'll retire
C F G
See my boys and my beautiful girls
C F
A Garden of Eden
G C
No gates or barbed wire
F G
Who knows, maybe gates made of pearls
C F
Well, if we go to heaven
G C
And some say we don't
C F G
But if there's a reckoning day
C F
Please God, I'll see you
G C
And maybe I won't
F G
I've a bag packed to go either way
C G/C F G
C G/C F G
C F
Redeeming your pledge, dear
G C
I'll keep it for you
C F G
It's not going to go anywhere
C F
But your soul, your soul
G C
That is not what I do
F G
There's not a lot I can do there
Dm Asus4/Db F
I remember the officer's watch
Asus4/Db
In my hand
Dm F Dm/B
"Repair it or die" I was told
Dm Asus4/Db
It's a wonder to me
F Dm/B
I still don't understand
Bb G
Why I ever survived to be old
C G/C
With a heart full of holes
F G
A heart full of holes
C G/C
A heart full of holes
F G
A heart full of holes
C G/C
A heart full of holes

A heart full of holes

A heart full of holes

version 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
Key: E
Song notes: This song is played in 6/8 time (eighth note 142bpm).
These are the basic chords. The rhythm guitar on the recording plays capo 2, so you will have to
TRANSPOSE these chords if you're deadset on playing identical to the recording, i.e. E becomes D, and so on.
If you're interested in figuring out the lead part (the resonator guitar part) Knopfler tunes his guitar
to open G (and then UP a half step, so really it's open G#) and places a capo at the 8th fret.
