between the chords. Listen to the song to get the rhythm
down. Also, for those of you who don't know, a Dsus2
can be played like this:
e---0---| e---5---|
B---3---| B---5---|
G---2---| or this: G---7---|
D---0---| D---7---|
A-------| A---5---|
E-------| E-------|
Dsus2 C
I was tired o' being drunk
Am F
My face cracked like a joke
C G
So I swung through here like a brace of jackrabbits
Bb F
With their necks all broke
Dsus2 C
I stumbled at the door with my boot
Am F
And I knocked against the jamb
C G
And I scrabbled at your chest like a mute
Bb F
With my fists of ham
(G) Am F (G)
Trying to tell you that I am
Am F
Telling you I can
C C/B Am
I can
Bb C
love you again
Bb C
Love you again

Bound around my neck

A poultice made of fig

The eager little vultures peck
Am G
And the verse I read in jest
Em C
And Matthew spoke to me

Said, there's a flame that moves like a low-down pest
F C
That says, "you will be free"
