Capo 4
Em C/G G
Oooh-oooh-ooooh x4
Em C/G G
Oh when that old world died
Em C/G G
I went looking for a place to hide
Em C/G G
And with no one to confide
Em C/G G
And this loneliness I can't fight
Em C/G G
I ain't bettin' on a worried hand
Em C/G G
I keep walkin' through the worried land
Em C/G G
I ain't bettin' on a losin' hand
Em C/G G
Ooooh-ooh-ooh
(Hammer on and off the G note (3rd fret low E string) for this part. Watch the video for rhythm and
strumming pattern because it can be tricky at first)
Em
I do not fear the Undertaker
When he comes to
Lay my soul down
Lay my soul down
Oh touch the hands of those behind
Passerbys gonna sing goodbyes
To those who fear
Hold on sweet dears
Nothin's gonna change how you dream
There's no way home
Wander down old days
Wander still on old ways
Still as ever
Em
I'll do whatever it takes to set my heart free
I'll do whatever it takes to set my heart free
I'll do whatever it takes to set my heart free
To set my heart free
Em
Words get overused
Lose all meaning too
Oh I've been such a fool
So I've been told
So I've been told
Em
I'll do whatever it takes to set my heart free
I'll do whatever it takes to set my heart free
Em C/G G
Oooh-oooh-ooooh x4
Em C/G G
Oh when that old world died
Em C/G G
I went looking for a place to hide
