This is just the chords with the two main riffs incorporated for when you're playing
solo acoustic or something, thought it sounded pretty good.
First riff:
E---------------0- |
B--5--5/3--3-3--1- |
G--7--7/5--4-5--2- |
D---------------2- |
A---------------0- |
E----------------- |
Second riff, when the D5 chord is about to transition back to Amin:
E--3-3-2-0-2--0-- |
B--3-3-3-2-3--1-- |
G--2-2-2-3-2--2-- |
D--0-0-0-0-0--2-- |
A-------------0-- |
E---------------- |
simple enough. Chords:
A5
I'm not sure if there's a point to the story
C5 G5
but I'm going to tell it again
A5
So many other people try to tell the tale
C5 G5
not one of them knows the end

C5 G5
Held a boy the age of ten
A5
Along with his Older brother Billy
C5 G5 A5
And a mother and her boyfriend
D5
Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos
D5
That were given to him when he was young
A5
And a drunk temper that was easy to lose
C5 G5 E5 A5
And thank god he didn't own a gun
(same progression through the next verse, but at the end it goes:)
A5 C5 G5 E5 G5 F5 A5
Then during the break:
A5 G5 F5
(The next verse is the same chords. After the next break, it goes:)
A5
Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and
A5
He turned around and put the lock on the door
D5
He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye
E5
His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then
Those 4 chords repeat until the end where it returns to the Am C G format.
Simple enough. Enjoy!
