Intro: Bm D Asus2 Em
Bm D
There is whiskey in the water
Asus2 Em
And there is death upon the vine
Bm D
There is fear in the eyes of your father
Asus2 Bm
And there is "Yours" and there is "Mine"
Bm D
There is a desert veiled in pavement
Asus2 Em
And there's a city of seven hills
Bm D
And all our debris flows to the ocean
Asus2 Bm
To meet again, I hope it will
A* G(1) F#m(1) Asus2
How could something so fair
Bm
Be so cruel
A* G(!) F#m Asus2
When this black sun revolved
Bm
Around you
Bm D Asus2 Em
Bm D
There is an answer in a question
Asus2 Em
And there is hope within despair
Bm D
And there is beauty in a failure,
Asus2 Bm
And there are depths beyond compare
Bm D
There is a role of a lifetime
Asus2 Em
And there's a song yet to be sung
Bm D
And there's a dumpster in the driveway
Asus2 Bm
Of all the plans that came undone
A* G(1) F#m(1) Asus2
How could something so fair
Bm
Be so cruel
A* G(1) F#m Asus2
When this black sun revolved
Bm
Around you
A* G(1) F#m(1) Asus2
How could something so fair
Bm
Be so cruel
A* G(1) F#m Asus2
When this black sun revolved
Bm
Around you
Bm D
There is whiskey in the water
Asus2 Em
And there is death upon the vine
Bm D
And there is grace within forgiveness
Asus2 Bm
But it's so hard for me to find
A* G(1) F#m(1) Asus2
How could something so fair
Bm
Be so cruel
A* G(1) F#m Asus2
When this black sun revolved
Bm
Around you
Notes:
During the verse there are several hammer-ons and pull-offs:
For the D chords on the 4th beat pull-off on the bottom string (F# to E)
For the Asus2 chords play the D string open for the first beat and then hammer on the E note X00200 to X02200
For the Em chords I slide up to 044000 on the 4th beat and slide back to 022000 on 4-and before moving to Bm
If two Bm are played in a row, on the 4th beat of the first Bm open the A string and hammer on the B note
back on for the First beat of the second Bm chord.
The A* in the chorus is an open A string played by itself.
The G(1) chord (sorry I don't know the name of it is basically the Bm chord with your index finger on the
G note on the top E string 3x4430
F#m(1) is the 2x4430
