...weird. Noticed this tune had no "official-ish" chords noted on any sites (at least
from what i could see...) only the bass has been tabbed.
Well, here's the chords, I think they're pretty darn accurate - I even took the track
and slowed it down so I could hear the guitar chords better. There's a lot of distortion
and awesome dissonance between the bass/guitar in this track... THE LYRICS ARE SO
MUFFLED. There is NOT ONE official/good/correct standard on the web, so I will try my best.
[Intro]<-- modern strumming/finger picking works good here
G, A, C, A (x4)
[Verse 1]
G A C A
Well I'm building a highway back,
C D A
Back to the heart of things,
Am C Bm
No love left to walk back,
A C Cm
Back to the heart of things...
D
So...
G A C
Falling above and black,
C D A
All our city gone red,
Am C Bm
When I get it all for you,
A C Cm
I'm gonna get it all...
D
True... True...

[Bridge] <-- Organ part. I suggest repeating the verse chords x1, then 4 bars of the
"intro" (G, A, C, A)
[Verse 2]
G A C
Its so cold an' I say good-bye,
C D A
With a hold and a meaning why,
Am C Bm
But you never let the parted in,
A C Cm
Holdin' on to sound don't swim,
D
...Didj'you wanna worry now...
G A C
Said it would take me home,
C D A
All of the fitting it broke,
Am C Bm
Say whatchu' want don't bring,
A C Cm D
Anything back to... Me.... ....
G A C
Yes a whole lotta day goes by,
C D A
Hopin' for a lover won't lie,
Am C Bm
If I get a lie from you,
A C Cm D
I'll make it all come... True......
[Outro]<-- Repeat verse chords, and add your off-kilter La la la la la la's!
BEST I COULD COME UP WITH! I love this song -- hope it works for you. Great on
acoustic, obviously!
