Chords
This is my first tab. Didn't see it on here so I figured it out. Listen to the song if
you want the picking pattern. This also sounds pretty good strumming on an acoustic.
C Am This street holds its secrets C Am like a cobra holds its kill C Am This street minds its business C Am like a jailer minds his jail F G That house there is haunted C Am That door's a portal to hell F G This street holds its secrets C Am very well
second verse same pattern
That man wears his skin
like a dancer wears her veils
That man stalks his victims
like a cancer stalks a cell
That man's soul has left him his heart's as
deadly as a rusty nail
That man sheds his skin
like a veil
Bridge
Dm G C Am Lord, you play a hard game, you know we follow every rule C C/B F G Then you take the one thing we thought we'd never lose Dm Am C F All I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe F G And if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place
Third Verse same as others
This life holds its secrets
like a sea shell holds the sea,
Soft and distant calling like a
fading memory
This life has its victories but its
defeats tear so viciously
This life holds its secrets
like the sea
The album version just fades on the C Am so just end it where you feel like. I
usually end on a C.
