The Rope - The Emerson Letters

This is the way I play this song, it could be slightly different.

It is played a half step down I think, but I play it in standard most of the time.

Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)FWhat (133211@1)good is a pen that will not write
		C (x32010@1)Fwhat (133211@1)good is a (x02210@1)promise left unkept
Am (x02210@1)G (320003@1)F (133211@1)
what good is an open evening sky
		C (x32010@1)Fif (133211@1)all the 	clouds refuse to rain
