 D
T'was in the early evenin'

Near the presence of the moon

You told me you would meet me here

Well now is not too soon
 G
This dagger twisting in my back
 D
Tells me I never should
 G
Have trusted everything to fall
 FA
From beggar to the fool
 D
see your face like every race

A serpent with two arms

Devouring me while rains the sun

With dreams in foreign lands
 G
This cold and dark tormented hell
 D
Is all I'll ever know
 G
So when you get to heaven
 FA
May the devil be the judge

(with chorus riff)
With another bag of bricks

 D
 I scratch your name across these walls

And with my blood turns red

Then drips upon my killing floor

Where now I call my bed
 G
No precious light to harbor
 D
Like so many here before
 G
And every drop of life you shed
 FA
Now breathes a thousand more

(with chorus riff)
With another bag of bricks

 A
Temper filled with blindness

Leads this lost and lonely man

Dragged around your whipping tree

A scourge you can't command
 D
So deafen me with silence

Drown me with your roar

Scowl me with your hollow eyes

Still burnin' to the core
 G
No door will go unanswered
 D
Like so many closed before
 G
No vagabond to knock upon
 D
This tired and beatin' war
 G
When all return to exile
 D
Free from all once bound
 G
Decline and brawl old parasites
 FA
The truth will yet be found

(with chorus riff)
With another bag of bricks

instrumental interlude:
quickly:
D D D D | D D D D | D D D G G
D D D D | D D D D | D D D G G

*Then D over the accordion solo*

N.C.
This cold and dark tormented hell

Is all I'll ever know

So when you get to heaven

May the devil be the judge

 A
 Temper filled with blindness

Leads this lost and lonely man

Dragged around your whipping tree

A scourge you can't command
 D
So deafen me with silence

Drown me with your roar

Scowl me with your hollow eyes

Still burnin' to the core
 G
No door will go unanswered
 D
Like so many closed before
 G
No vagabond to knock upon
 D
This tired and beatin' war
 G
When all return to exile
 D
Free from all once bound
 G
Decline and brawl old parasites
 FA
The truth will yet be found

(with chorus riff x3)
With another bag of bricks

instrumental outro:
quickly:
D D D D | D D D D | D D D G G

D D D D | D D D D | D D D G G

NOTE:

The F to A move at the end of each verse sounds
much better when A is played barred, rather than
in the open position. Also the reoccurring D may
sound better as a D5, though it is definitely not
a Dm.

and sometimes at the end of certain verse lines,
the violin/accordion slide this little bit in:

e|-----2-3-2h3p2--------------|
B|---------------4-3----------|
G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|


And for any mandolin or violin players,
those few riffs look like this:
e|----------2-3-5-3-2----------2-3-5---------2-3-5-3-2----------------|
A|--5-5-5-5-----------5-5-5-5--------5-5-5-5-----------5-5-5-5-3-3-5--|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

 and
e|--2-3-2h3p2-----------|
A|-------------6-5------|
D|----------------------|
G|----------------------|
