Tuning: E A D G B E

Don't be afraid of the difficult sounding chord terms I used. If you are a beginner you can just use the general chords: D G Bm A. That'll work just fine. But I personally like to spice up the song using some simple chord variations as shown below: Verse: D = Dsus2 G = G5 Bm A = Asus4 °|----0----| °|----0----| |----2----| °|----0----| |----3----| |----3----| |----3----| |----3----| |----2----| °|----0----| |----4----| |----2----| °|----0----| °|----0----| |----4----| |----2----| °|----0----| x|---------| |----2----| °|----0----| x|---------| |----3----| x|---------| x|---------| Chorus: D = Dsus2 G = G5 Bm A = A5 °|----0----| °|----0----| |----2----| °|----0----| |----3----| |----3----| |----3----| x|---------| |----2----| °|----0----| |----4----| |----2----| °|----0----| °|----0----| |----4----| |----2----| °|----0----| x|---------| |----2----| °|----0----| x|---------| |----3----| x|---------| x|---------| This is my first tab ever. So if you have any suggestions on how to improve this tab please let me know. Verse 1

^Dsus2I run a lot of miles of life and crime And ^G5mountain climbs and quittin' times ^BmPacking that load of lyin' rhymes And ^Asus4tired jokes and wooden dimes I've ^G5been everybody's ^Bmfriend, everybody's ^Asus4friend

Verse 2

^Dsus2I could lose my house, I could steal a car I could serve two masters, living hard

Living like a dog in a cage in a yard

With a fist full of cold hard cash that I can't let ^G5go The devil can't have my ^Bmsoul, the devil can't get your ^Asus4soul The devil can't get your ^G5soul

Chorus

^Dsus2Hold out your ^G5hand Take hold of mine ^Bmnow Round and round we ^A5go ^Dsus2Don't you wanna ^G5dance I'm a dying ^Bmman From the moment we be^A5gan Hold out your ^Dsus2hand Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^G5da Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^Bmda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^A5da

Verse 3

^Dsus2When the man comes around and the trumpet sounds And his ^G5number calls and the moment he falls In the ^Bmhaunted halls of man he will under^Asus4stand He will ^G5comprehend, he will not p^Bmretend He will not ^Asus4pretend

Verse 4

^Dsus2When the rain don't fall and the river don't run And the wind takes orders from the blazing sun

The devil don't break for the fiery snake

And you've had about as goddamn much as you can ^G5take The devil don't take a ^Bmbreak, the devil don't take a ^Asus4break The devil don't take no ^G5break

Chorus

^Dsus2Hold out your ^G5hand Take hold of mine ^Bmnow Round and round we ^A5go ^Dsus2Don't you wanna ^G5dance I'm a dying ^Bmman From the moment we ^A5began Hold out your ^Dsus2hand Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^G5da Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^Bmda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^A5da

Verse

^Dsus2Well he came to my door to sell me the fear With some cameras and bullets and tension and

Here is a license for killing your own native son

For a careless mistake and a fake plastic ^G5gun? ^Bmoh ^Asus4oh oh

^Dsus2Deliver your brother from violence and greed For the mountains, lay down for your faith like a seed

A morning is coming of silver and light

There will be color and language and nobody wanting to ^G5fight What a glorious ^Bmsight! What a glorious ^Asus4sight!

Chorus

^Dsus2Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^G5da Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^Bmda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^A5da
