I can't believe no one has posted this one yet. A great song by one of the best artists around.
Intro/Riff1: E - A - Ab - F#m - E
verse: E - A - B - C#m - B-{R1} - E
chorus: {R2} - A - B - C#m - B - A , B - A-{R3} - F#m - E
Riff2: E - F#m - Ab - A (Basically riff1 inverted)
Riff3: A - Ab - E - F#m
*note: I think the F#m's might simply be F# , but it sounds more accurate to me as
a minor chord when I play it.
Intro: E - A - Ab - F#m - E {rpt}
E A
Whispers of ancients buried by dust,
B C#m
Echoes of ages in canyons of rust,
B {Riff1: A Ab F#m}E {rpt riff1}
Is heaven so lonely? I'll know soon enough
{Riff2}
E F#m Ab A B
Cold as the clay, dark as a mine,
C#m B A
Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime
B A {Riff3: A Ab E F#m} E {Rpt R1}
Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times
{Verse} E - A - B - C#m - B-{R1} - E
The tools of the trade lie shopworn and old
The skills of the master done died with his soul
And the worklike routine is so lonely and cold
{Chorus} {R2} - A - B - C#m - B - A , B - A-{R3} - F#m - E
Cold as the clay, dark as a mine,
Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime
Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times
{Verse} E - A - B - C#m - B-{R1} - E
The land was converted, the river was moved,
The village expanded, some say it's improved,
But the lingering feature is a grim attitude
{Chorus} {R2} - A - B - C#m - B - A , B - A-{R3} - F#m - E
Cold as the clay, dark as a mine,
Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime
Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times
