Capo 4

Intro: 4/4||:Am G/B |C    :||4x

Verse 1:
|Am         G/B     |C                     
   I know a man with nothing in his hands, 
|Am            G/B     |C 
 nothing but a rolling stone
|Am           G/B          |C                    
   He told me bout when his house burnt down, 
    |Am       G/B          |C 
 he lost everything he owned
|Am         G/B     |C 
   He lay asleep for six whole weeks, 
          |Am           G/B       |C 
they were gonna ask his mother to choose
        |Am           G/B       |C 
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something
                |Am                  G/B       |C 
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose         

Ref I:
               |F                   |C                   
Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt, 
  |G                       |C
a whole lot of trouble, he said
            |F             |C                                             
but now the money is gone, life carries on 
      |G                         |C
and I miss it like a hole in the head!

Verse 2:
|Am        G/B       |C 
  I know a woman with kids around her ankles 
      |Am   G/B     |C 
and a baby   on her lap       
         |Am         G/B     |C       
she said one day her husband went to get a paper 
       |Am     G/B       |C         
and the ...... never came back
|Am         G/B        |C 
mortgage to pay and four kids to raise, 
|Am         G/B           |C 
keeping the wolf from the door
             |Am(stop)        
she said the wolf's just a puppy 

and the door's double locked so why you gotta worry me for

                 |F                 |C                    
Now he left a in hole in my heart a hole in a promise 
  |G                     |C
a hole on the side of my bed
   |F                      |C                      
oh now that he's gone well life carries on
      |G                          |C
and I miss him like a hole in the head


Bridge (slower):
|F     |                   |C                   |G
       sometimes you can't change and you can't choose
|F    |                         |C                    |G
  and sometimes it seems you gain  less than you lose


Ref III:
               |Dm          |F                    |C            |G

               |Dm              |F                   |C      |C
well we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
              |Dm          |F                    |C            |G
say we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
               |Dm              |F                    |C      |C
well we've got holes, we've got holes, but we carry on
