These chords are an INTERPRETATION of this song.  This is NOT an exact rendition of the
by ANY shape of the imagination.  I just enjoy playing it this way more.

(Pick the verses rather than strum, keep the picking pattern simple)

          Am (x02210@1)            EThere (022100@1)are things I have done.
            E (022100@1)         AmThere's (x02210@1)a place I have gone.
         Am(bar)              EThere's (022100@1)a beast and I let it run
                 E (022100@1) Amnow (x02210@1)it's running my way.
          Am (x02210@1)         EThere (022100@1)are things I regret
             E (022100@1)              AmYou (x02210@1)can't forgive you can't forget
          Am(bar)        EThere's (022100@1)a gift that you sent
            E (022100@1) Amyou (x02210@1)sent it my way.

(Yes   the verse DOES end w/ Am and Chorus still starts with Am
If you pick the verse and strum the chorus it works great)

Chorus:

              AmSo (x02210@1)take this night
          GWrap (320003@1)it around me like a sheet.
   Dsus2
I know I'm not forgiven
       Ebut (022100@1)I need a place to sleep.
              AmSo (x02210@1)take this night
        GLay (320003@1)me down on the street.
  Dsus2
I know I'm not forgiven
       E (022100@1)                          Ambut (x02210@1)I hope that I'll be given some peace.

(Verse 2:  Back to simple picking.)
(Follow the Am-2x E-2x pattern originally set in the first verse and remember this song 
all about vocal inflection not guitar prowess ... listen to the song if you don't 
me.)

There's a game that I played.
There are rules I had to break.
There's mistakes
that I made but I made them my way.
So take this night
and wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I'm not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night
and lay me down on the street.
I know I'm not forgiven
but I hope that I'll be given some peace.

Some peace, some peace.


Comment if you'd like ... I already told you that its an interpretation of the original.
