Burden In My Hand

Chords
pin

# This is an early draft - I will tidy it up in the next few days! 20/12/14

# Try down half a step if you want easier chords.

C            D#
Follow me into the desert
     A#             C
As thirsty as you are
C   D#
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
     A#              C
And drown in alcohol
         C             D#
'Cause down below the truth is lying
   A#          C
Beneath the riverbed
     C                   D#
So quench yourself and drink the water
      A#              C
That flows below her head

D#  C  D#        C
Oh no there she goes
D#          C                   D#
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine, the sun is mine

C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F 
I shot my love today would you cry for me
C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F
I lost my head again would you lie for me
C          A#          G#        D#         A# F# F
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F
I lost my head again would you cry for me

C                    D#
Close your eyes and bow your head
   A#                C
I need a little sympathy
         C                 D#             A#
'Cause fear is strong and love's for everyone
C
Who isn't me
    C                    D#
So kill your health and kill yourself
          A#             C
And kill everything you love
            C            D#
And if you live you can fall to pieces
       A#            C
And suffer with my ghost

D#  C  D#        C
Oh no there she goes
D#          C                   D#
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine, the sun is mine

C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F 
I shot my love today would you cry for me
C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F
I lost my head again would you lie for me
C          A#          G#        D#         A# F# F
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F
I lost my head again would you cry for me

C                   D#
Just a burden in my hand
C                    G#
Just an anchor on my heart
 C                  G#         
Just a tumor in my head
                A# F# F
And I'm in the dark

     C         D#
So follow me into the desert
    A#                C
As desperate as you are
           C                   D#     
Where the moon is glued to a picture of heaven
     A#                       C
And all the little pigs have God

D#  C  D#        C
Oh no there she goes
D#          C                   D#
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine, the sun is mine

C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F 
I shot my love today would you cry for me
C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F
I lost my head again would you lie for me
C          A#          G#        D#         A# F# F
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
C          A#          G#        D#      A# F# F
I lost my head again would you cry for me

    The A# chord sounds weird in the verses, but ok in chorus. Pretty good for a first draft though! Can't wait to see it when it's straightened out.
