Chords

This is pretty much what it sounds like to me, seems to sound better to play more chords between the basic structure before the first chorus. Either way you can tweak it a bit and it still sounds ok. Enjoy. Any input email me at [email protected]

I cannot still the hell that's in these hands

When they came to take me in

I didn't fight just let them win

A man died in my cell

Go together like the devil and sin

Her legs are like wheat her lips are like wine
