G#m (133111@4)                 B (x2444x@1)         F# (244322@1)          G#m (133111@4)     B (x2444x@1)      F#I (244322@1)cut my teeth on the stone of a teenage romance
G#m (133111@4)                             B (x2444x@1)            F# (244322@1)                G#m (133111@4) B (x2444x@1) F#I (244322@1)was the salt of the earth, I was hard, and the last of the independents.
E5 (022xxx@1)                     F#5 (244xxx@1)        G#5And (133xxx@4)in the breath from my chest I was blowing kerosene,
E5 (022xxx@1)                        F#5 (244xxx@1)            G#5 (133xxx@4) 
My lips and fingertips were stone, I wore my heart on my jeans.
E5 (022xxx@1)                      F#5 (244xxx@1)          G#5I (133xxx@4)sang the blues like the dogs left too long in the street,
E5 (022xxx@1)             F#5 (244xxx@1)       G#5 (133xxx@4)I still sing the blues with the dogs.

E (022100@1)                      F# (244322@1)        G#mAnd (133111@4)I got half a mind to let it all burn up in this fire,
E (022100@1)                              F# (244322@1)          G#mI've (133111@4)had been burning through my veins since I first learned to cry.
E (022100@1)                             F# (244322@1)            G#mI'd (133111@4)watch this whole night come down and never miss her again.
E (022100@1)                           F#I (244322@1)never felt right and never fit in,

Walking in my own skin.

Verse (played the same):

Now I got scars like the number of stars, my head's full of vipers.
I got the dust of the desert in my bones, coming through the amplifiers.
Between the minor chord fall and the fourth and the fifth,
It's a broken Hallelujah and a pain in my fist.
I wash my hands like the man with the blood on his teeth,
Over and over without relief.

And I got nothing for you darling but a story to tell,
About the rain on the pavement and the sound as it fell.
I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again.
I never felt right and never fit in.

Chorus
------

When Brian plays this part slowly, he uses the same chord shapes from the verse
(B, F#, G#m), instead of just holding the B chord and changing the root note.  

Also, notice the "Say a Prayer for my soul, Senorita" is different on the last go round.

              B (x2444x@1)     B/F# (x2444x@1)         B/G#
Walking in my old man shoes, with my scientist heart.
        B (x2444x@1)         B/F# (x2444x@1)       B/G#
I got a fever and a beaker and a shot in the dark.
         B (x2444x@1)      B/F# (x2444x@1)         B/G#   
I need a Cadillac ride, I need a soft summer night,
E (022100@1)                     F#Say (244322@1)a prayer for my soul Se?orita.

                  G#m (133111@4)     F# (244322@1)        EBecause (022100@1)I've been dying out here in the cold and the snow.
        G#m (133111@4)          F# (244322@1)      EI (022100@1)got a picture of you, Mama, to remind me of home.
       G#m (133111@4)     F# (244322@1)       EOn (022100@1)the hood of a Dodge on a Saturday night,
      B (x2444x@1)                 F#Say (244322@1)a prayer for my soul, Se?orita.
