Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Oh hello, how are you, my favorite son?

 In an hour I will go where I've never gone

 In the span of the space between your mother's eyes

 are the secrets that I've saved

 I hand them down to you

oooooh. The averages and laws,

 it was every man for himself every child alone

 Oh why do they shine so bright in my dreams?

 Golden blades, forged from love, they sever my feet

 but you know, where I'm going, when all is said and done

 I don't need them or my secrets

Just the grace of one

here they come

here they come

here they come...

 oh hear they come!

 is everything signed? Is everything done?

 I'm sorry about the blood

 ...the devil and his stones

 It was every man for himself, every child alone

Please tell your mother I'm sorry for the strife

 tell your brother I loved him

 ...the same to his wife

 and if you have a heart to take my life away

 give me something, give me anger to remember you today

 'Cause here they come

 oh here they come

 Is everything signed? Can nothing be undone?

 I'm sorry about the blood

 ...the devil and his stones

 It was every man for himself, every child alone...

C* - Sounds like its a C chord with the d string open. (lift your middle

finger off) it sounds fine either way, but i think its slightly more

accurate to the song this way.
