* try and still play the C chord as you hammer off on the high E string with your little finger
it’s hard at first but you get the hang of it

no time to explain
Em G A Em C D ( x54030 ) [ i use this D throughout )
always hopeless in a hurry
Em G A Em
there’s no one to blame
Em G A Em C D
for an empty heart

A C D
well , well , well
A C D
nothing’s gonna change
A C D
i’m nothing but a quarter that fell
C D Em ( riff around on Em and G )
into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well

Em G A Em
my heart isn’t black
Em G A Em C D
it’s just dirty from the floors
Em G A Em
nobody walks across
Em G A Em C D
nobody walks across or sleeps on anymore

A C D
well , well , well
A C D
nothing’s gonna change
A C D
nothing’s gonna change oh well
C D C ( repeat intro riff over and over until fade )
into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
C D
wishing well
C D
wishing well
C D
wishing well

C D etc
where the rats go to die there’s a dream

where the rats go to die

there’s a mountain of change

that used to belong to me
