Tuning: Standard
Chords:
D: x 5 7 7 7 5 (Played as a mini-barre with ring finger)
C#: x 4 6 6 6 4 (same as D but a fret lower)
F#m: x x 4 2 2 2 (barre the 2's with your pointer finger)
G#m: 4 x 6 x x x (the only important part is the root note, I think he plays it
slightly differently)
VERSE:
[D]I was [C#]born in a [F#m]mortuary
[Abm]Full of [C#]worry
[F#m]Ice water in my [D]veins
Gave my [C#]heart in the [F#m]school library
[Abm]Never [C#]knew her [F#m]name
Same for the next part of the verse, except the very last chord is switched to F#
major (played as a normal barre chord)
CHORUS:
So [Bm]swing [E]low[F#m]
[Bm]Grey [C#]bones[F#m]
[Bm]I don't [E]know [F#m]
If I'll [Bm]ever be [C#]whole [F#m]again
The last time you play the chorus end with F# major in stead of F# minor.
Lost my tongue in the sanctuary
"Heaven spare me!"
Hands raised above my head
Sent my brain to the seminary
Never seen again...
CHORUS
Left my spine in the wedding chapel
Full of people
Feet turning into lead
Lost a leg at the iron foundry
Where they found me dead
Drained my blood at the mortuary
No more worry
Ice water in my veins
Took my bones to the cemetary
Where they still remain
CHORUS
