yet another cold , dark and altogether awesome song by the trio .
the following chords are chosen to make it easy to play . what i mean it that you could
change some of the types
of chords i picked in order to make it sound a bit better .

anyways , from what i gather , john plays the following four chords throughout the entire song :
( there’s a little variation on the Dsus4 . he’s playing it an octave up . listen to the
song , you’ll hear it . )

( the placing is rather easy once you’ve listened a few times , and i don’t really have
the time to do it now .
i may edit them in later , but until then , here’re the lyrics . )

cold wind it blows , blowing through like sunday morning ,
chills my bones , take me home , take me home ,
home is where the heart is , but my heart’s been truly stolen ,
cold wind it blows , wind it blows ,

fire in my gut , reminding me that yes i’m in A ,
great big rut , great big hole , great big hole ,
no – one knows , can tell me where those chains begin ,
fire in my gut , in my gut , in my gut ,

there are places you will never go ,
and there are things that you will never know ,
it all depends on which side of the road ,

hole in my soul , makes me feel like i Am floating ,
far from my place , i got no land , i got no face ,
tell me mr . what’s a man supposed to believe in?
hole in my soul , in my soul , in my soul ,

chorus

gun in my hand , you’re tellin’ me that i’m meant to obey ,
laws of your land , of your land , of your land ,
but you don’t follow rules of the silly games you play ,
there’s a gun in my hand , in my hand , in my hand ,

chorus x2
