Capo: 7
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Pre-Intro] No Capo (probably need a second guitar) Can be played from 7th fret capo'd position, but
it's a finger knotter and it doesn't flow as well as the open arpeggio does -IMO.
Briskly... slowing

[Verse 1]
AmThe days grow short, the nights are gone
Since you were A7sus4here, I can't go on
I cried for Amyou, to no avail
Now my life runs A7sus4cold when the night winds wail
[Pre-Chorus]
But ID cheat the hangman,D7 cheated him many times before
The A7sus4bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
Yes, ID cheat the hangman and D7even when life has flown away
I A7sus4leave a kiss behind
[Intro (Play Once)]
[Verse 2]
The rain that Amfell upon my stone
Like tears you cA7sus4ry, I shed alone
I walk the Amnight, I cannot sleep
The love you A7sus4spend you cannot reap
[Pre-Chorus]
But ID cheat the hangman,D7 cheated him many times before
The A7sus4bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
Yes, ID cheat the hangman and D7even when life has flown away
