D
T�was in the early evenin�
Near the presence of the moon
You told me you would meet me here
Well now is not too soon
G
This dagger twisting in my back
D
Tells me I never should
G
Have trusted everything to fall
F A
From beggar to the fool
D
I see your face like every race
A serpent with two arms
Devouring me while rains the sun
With dreams in foreign lands
G
This cold and dark tormented hell
D
Is all I�ll ever know
G
So when you get to heaven
F A
May the devil be the judge
(with chorus riff)
With another bag of bricks
D
I scratch your name across these walls
And with my blood turns red
Then drips upon my killing floor
Where now I call my bed
G
No precious light to harbor
D
Like so many here before
G
And every drop of life you shed
F A
Now breathes a thousand more
(with chorus riff)
With another bag of bricks
A
Temper filled with blindness
Leads this lost and lonely man
Dragged around your whipping tree
A scourge you can�t command
D
So deafen me with silence
Drown me with your roar
Scowl me with your hollow eyes
Still burnin� to the core
G
No door will go unanswered
D
Like so many closed before
G
No vagabond to knock upon
D
This tired and beatin� war
G
When all return to exile
D
Free from all once bound
G
Decline and brawl old parasites
F A
The truth will yet be found
(with chorus riff)
With another bag of bricks
instrumental interlude:
quickly:
D D D D | D D D D | D D D G G
D D D D | D D D D | D D D G G
*Then D over the accordion solo*
N.C.
This cold and dark tormented hell
Is all I�ll ever know
So when you get to heaven
May the devil be the judge
A
Temper filled with blindness
Leads this lost and lonely man
Dragged around your whipping tree
A scourge you can�t command
D
So deafen me with silence
Drown me with your roar
Scowl me with your hollow eyes
Still burnin� to the core
G
No door will go unanswered
D
Like so many closed before
G
No vagabond to knock upon
D
This tired and beatin� war
G
When all return to exile
D
Free from all once bound
G
Decline and brawl old parasites
F A
The truth will yet be found
(with chorus riff x3)
With another bag of bricks
instrumental outro:
quickly:
D D D D | D D D D | D D D G G
D D D D | D D D D | D D D G G
NOTE:
The F to A move at the end of each verse sounds
much better when A is played barred, rather than
in the open position. Also the reoccurring D may
sound better as a D5, though it is definitely not
a Dm.
and sometimes at the end of certain verse lines,
the violin/accordion slide this little bit in:
e|-----2-3-2h3p2--------------|
B|---------------4-3----------|
G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|
And for any mandolin or violin players,
those few riffs look like this:
e|----------2-3-5-3-2----------2-3-5---------2-3-5-3-2----------------|
A|--5-5-5-5-----------5-5-5-5--------5-5-5-5-----------5-5-5-5-3-3-5--|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
and
e|--2-3-2h3p2-----------|
A|-------------6-5------|
D|----------------------|
G|----------------------|
