This song is recorded in Eb which is achieved by playing in D with a capo on the first fret.
Some of the measures include an extra strum on the and of 4. These are the ones returning to
the tonic (D) during the verse (this is not done during the chorus). You can hear which ones by
listening to the recording.
[Verse]
D G
I went and stole myself a devil's heart
D A
'Cause mine was pulverized and crushed
D G
And I drank all the whiskey in this town
D A
Still I could not get enough
[Chorus]
A G
And I know that it's too late
G A D
But I'm sorry for everything
G A D
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
D G
And now I'm stuck out here all by myself
D A
It's hard to fill the empty hours
D G
I'd like to force some gal to stay with me
D A
But I just haven't got the power
[Chorus]
A G
And I know that it's too late
G A D
But I'm sorry for everything
G A D
Oh, Oh, Oh
D G
You cannot live in constant solitude
D A
Or your mind will surely burst
D G
The rain will fall down on your withered soul
D A
And then your bones will start to rust
[Chorus]
A G
And I know that it's too late
G A D
But I'm sorry for everything
G A D
Oh, Oh, Oh
G A D
Oh, Oh, Oh
