Chords
A great song from a great artist that it needs to be in here (I was wondering why no one else has
done this one). Here's my version – I listened to two live versions and I like the one
that sounds like an Argentinian "tango" (Live at Red Rock Album) – I use Ddim as it sounds more like the
accordion part for the tango version BUT Bdim sounds great as well so that is up to you
(sometimes I alternate). Simple chords for acoustic but I know Nathaniel plays Bar Chords on electric so
to your preference. Hopefully you find this useful… Enjoy it!

[Intro]
Am
(Sustained Quick Arpeggio then let it ring)Am Bdim x2
[Verse 1]
Am Bdim This heart singing out to me sings alone Am Bdim This world and empty room and it's falling into line Am Bdim They say just one will pass and one will leave no mark or burn Dm E This heart is singing on and on again Dm E This heart a wielding hammer ready to pound Dm E This world already defined Dm Maybe you don't even know Am Maybe you don't even know
Am
[Verse 2]
Am Bdim This wheelless motion will not define me Am Bdim This softly singing madness is singing out aloud Am Bdim This awful and unholy awful man Dm E Inside your empty hand Dm E And it's eating out the worm Dm E It's odd and it's hard to hail Dm Or maybe you don't even know Am Maybe you don't know
[Middle]
F Am

F Am Dm (Sustained Quick Arpeggio)
E Am (Transition but you can omit this part)
[Verse 3]
Am Bdim This eye-line wandering ragged doll Am Bdim This one leg pony pulling out the plow Am Bdim This wondering what will be my own
N.C.
"And if nothing else I'll seek to find"
Dm E That hairy old delight Dm E A naive dark night Dm E This heart is singing to you Dm Singing I was E This all a weight on me Dm Maybe you don't even know Am Maybe you don't even know Am (Sustained Quick Arpeggio and let it ring at stop)
