Greg Graffin: Cold As The Clay Chords, from the album Cold As The Clay. Tabbed by Ricky Horror (mrrickyhorror@yahoo.com for questions or errors) 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
