________________________________

To get it closer to the original, you have to play with the “A” a bit,
work with a hammer on and pull off on the fifth string, changing from 2 to 0
and other way around (… and continue similar with the following “D”).
Even beginners will have sorted it out easily while listening to the song.

Another thing i try to make the sound a bit “richer” with is a variation of the
transfer from the verse-ending “G” back to the “A”. Let the “G” sound several
times but for the last time, slide to this here (2|0(or:x)|0|x|x|x).

INTRO

A D G (4x)

You should know that it’s cracked like thirsty ground

You should know that i’ve hung it all around

I’ve been through places you wouldn’t want to go

Lost some love passin’ through the tolls

It ain’t easy, to please me, now you will surely tire

That’s why i’m leavin’, no trippin’ on your wire

I’ll be lonely, baby, now when i do retire

and it’s cold where you were sleepin’ and now my heart’s for hire

A D G (4x)
…hire

You shoulda known when i was thinner than your sight

You shoulda known the way i held that kitchen knife

and the way i was fallen to the ground

you found out when you heard that ugly sound

… heard that ugly sound

It ain’t easy, to please me, now you will surely tire

That’s why i’m leavin’, no trippin’ on your wire

I’ll be lonely, baby, now when i do retire

and it’s cold where you were sleepin’ and now my heart’s for hire

Have i loved enough

Have i loved too much

Am i about as heart for hire

No pitting polish scrub

A D G (4x)
