This Street, That Man, This Life Chords & Lyrics by Cowboy Junkies
This Street, That Man, This Life
guitar chords lyrics
This is my first tab. Didn't see it on here so I figured it out. Listen to the song if
you want the picking pattern. This also sounds pretty good strumming on an acoustic.
C Am
This street holds its secrets
C Am
like a cobra holds its kill
C Am
This street minds its business
C Am
like a jailer minds his jail
F G
That house there is haunted
C Am
That door's a portal to hell
F G
This street holds its secrets
C Am
very well
second verse same pattern
That man wears his skin
like a dancer wears her veils
That man stalks his victims
like a cancer stalks a cell
That man's soul has left him his heart's as
deadly as a rusty nail
That man sheds his skin
like a veil
Bridge
Dm G C Am
Lord, you play a hard game, you know we follow every rule
C C/B F G
Then you take the one thing we thought we'd never lose
Dm Am C F
All I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe
F G
And if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place
Third Verse same as others
This life holds its secrets
like a sea shell holds the sea,
Soft and distant calling like a
fading memory
This life has its victories but its
defeats tear so viciously
This life holds its secrets
like the sea
The album version just fades on the C Am so just end it where you feel like. I
usually end on a C.
