Well ill [Am]take two shots said the [G]devil to the man, and [F]laid a little book on the [Em]bar
The [Am]lord knows the devil he [G]only talks shit and [F]only drinks whisky from the [Em]jar
And his [Dm]hands were [Am]raw, and his [Em]eyes were [Am]cold
And his [Dm]breath was pure [Am]alcohol and the [Em]sound of his voice never got old
And he [Dm]talked and he [Am]talked and he [Em]talked through the [Am]night
Just [Dm]sippin his [Am]shine until the [Em]morning [Am]light
Stumbled [Dm]in through the [Am]shades and as he [Em]started to [Am]go
I [F]put three [Em]bullets in his [Am]back
0:47
Adam uses this strumming pattern for the chords in the verse
[Am] [Am] [Am] [Am]
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-------1---------1----------1----------1---|
G|---------2---------2----------2----------2-|
D|-----2---------2----------2----------2-----|
A|-0---0-----0---0------0---0------0---0-----|
E|-------------------------------------------|
- Verse - The (C) chords are optional, its a preference thing
Well the [Am]devil's bleeding crude oil [G] from a hole in his [F]chest.
It keeps [Am]pangin on the bed pan, [G] leaking through the bed [F]sheets.
And all the [Am]buisnessm[(C)]en are putting [Dm]pails benith his wounds.
[Em] Pawnin the oil at the [F]market.
Well his [Am]heart aint made of [G]nothin but piss and [F]vinegar
And his [Am]boots have trampled [G]more than you would [F]know and,
His [Am]breath has split [(C)]open the ther[Dm]mometer on the sill
Its so [Em]fucking cold in here, [F]since you brought in the snow.
- Chorus -
[Am] Black [G]heart leaking [F]oil in the [Em]pan
Dealing [Am]insults with his [G]free hand in the [F]hospital bed bleeding
[Am] Black [G]heart [F] you shot the [Em]plan to hell
And the [Am]apathy [G]eats you up in[F]side.
Alternate chorus - heres a different way to play the chorus
I think both sound good.
[Am] Black [Cmaj13]heart leaking [D9]oil in the [Dm9]pan
Dealing [Am]insults with his [Cmaj13]free hand in the [D9]hospital bed [Dm9]bleeding
[Am] Black [Cmaj13]heart [D9] you shot the [Dm9]plan to hell
And the [Am]apathy [Cmaj13]eats you up in[D9]side.[Dm9]
Instrumental part:
[Am] [G] [F] [Em]
[Am] [G] [F] [Em]
Adding some fill to this part sounds good
I do something like this:
Going from G to F:
2:26
e|---------|
B|-3--1--1-|
G|-0-----2-|
D|-0-----3-|
A|-2-----3-|
E|-3-----1-|
and when you're on Em just about to return to Am:
2:32
e|--------1-0-----|
B|------0-----0-1-|
G|-0--0---------2-|
D|-2--2---------2-|
A|-2--2---------0-|
E|-0--0-----------|
Chorus
Instrumental Part - End on Am
4:06
[Am] [Cmaj13] [D9] [Dm9]
e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------1---------------1--------------1--------------1-------|
G|---2------2---2----2-----2---2----2-----2---2----2-----2-----|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-0---0------0----2---2-----2---------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------2---2-----2----1---1-----1---|
Outro
[Am] Some[Cmaj13]one say a hail [D9]Mary for this [Dm9]house.
[Am] Bless the [Cmaj13]corners and [D9]burn the devil [Dm9]out.
Organ outro can be played:
[Am] [G] [Em] [F]
[Am]Am [G](F[F]ad[Em]e)
Well there you have it. I feel its pretty accurate but email me with
any improvements at [email protected]. Ill be trying to tab out
