As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Intro] G D Am C G [Verse 1]
D    G             Am
Into problematical darkness

      C              Em
Of an arcane world I rode

                             C
On the back of a worm called Icondeath

Am                 D
As it had been foretold

          G            Am
Where the lava flowed over the plains

   C                  Em
Austere with heat and black

                C
A valley of the bones

             Am
Where people go

               D
And don't come back
[Chorus]
      G
Oh my god

      D/F#
Oh my god

      Am
Oh my god

C              G
 It don't come easy
[Verse 2]
D      G             Am
I said wizard you be kind now

       C              Em
I'm in need of some advice

                     C
And talk no speak of majick blood

        Am       D
Or good-son sacrifice

      G              Am
And i begged to know if justice

     C               Em
Is a form far-out or in

                         C
He said son, there is no justice

            Am
There's jus what

              C
And that just is
[Chorus]
      G
Oh my god

      D/F#
Oh my god

      Am
Oh my god

C              G
 It don't come easy
[Harmonica Solo] G D/F# Am C G [Verse 3]
D      G              Am
In the marketplace of souls

          C           Em
I gave my only silver piece

                    C
And traded it for a mania

   Am         D/F#
Chemical urgency

      G              Am
And I staggered into ergs

               C               Em
Where the wind blows without relent

                            C
And I still don't know what livin cost

          Am              D
But I can tell you what I spent
[Chorus]
      G
Oh my god

      D/F#
Oh my god

      Am
Oh my god

C              G
 It don't come easy
[Verse 4]
D/F#       G                   Am
Weren't it you who pierced the dragon

           C              Em
Weren't it you who led us out

                    C
Of a land so damn oppressive

        Am                  D 
Against hope and with great doubt 

           G            Am
Did we not amble out of Egypt

     C             Em 
Into wilderness so dry

                              C
Weren't there graves enuff in Memphis

           Am                   D
That we've been brought here to die?
[Chorus]
      G
Oh my god

      D/F#
Oh my god

      Am
Oh my god

C              G
 It don't come easy

D/F#  G
Oh my god

      D/F#
Oh my god

      Am
Oh my god

C       G
 God go easy
[Outro-Harmonica Solo] G D/F# Am C G
