Blood Hands
View chords used in this chart
Hi guys, this is the first song I've ever uploaded, I hope you like it :p
There are multiple possible chords for the Instrumental bit, but I thought these sounded best.
Could be played in either standard or Eb tuning,
If you want to play the Eb an octave lower (like in the original song).
Intro: Bb
Verse
Bb (through entire verse)
Took a lonely feeling
Just to let the meaning
Sink like the sun goes down
Never close to heaven
Felt my feet were burning from the same red hot ground
F#
There's blood on my hands,
Eb
There's blood on my hands
Bb
Yeah, there's blood

When the clock is ticking
Counting down the days gone by
Praying for an answer to another question
That will only leave you dry

You won't understand
Eb
With your head in the sand
Bb
No, you won't
Chorus

But I'll kiss the ground where you kneel

Till I grow my hair to my heels

Spike your water your wine

While you waste my precious time

Every time I drink and try to stop my thinking
Bout the things I've said and done
Stop the world from turning faster
Then I'm learning not to just hide and run

You won't understand
Eb
With your head in the sand
Bb
No, you won't

Love came and went faster than a penny spent in a slot machine

Nowhere near the devil, just somewhere in between you and me

Sworn to see me
