Capo on the 3rd fret

All chords related to capo 3:

      (intro)    

[Intro]     (4x)

The sun is sinking and I'm still dragging this bag of bones
Like a homesick beggar with a rockstar swagger and a heart of stone

My feet are on the riverbed
My hands are far from innocent
Have mercy on my soul

Where did I go wrong? I lost my head.
                               (keep playing the chord for 4 bars)
I want to dance on fire and be born     again
I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead

[intro]     (2x)

Well everything changes and the colors start fading and the stars go dim
And the clock keeps ticking while the rattlesnake's shaking as it sheds its skin

Kill your heart and never take a chance
Lock it up inside a picket fence
The illusions of control

Where did I go wrong? I lost my head.
                               (keep playing the chord for 4 bars)
I want to dance on fire and be born     again
I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead

[interlude]            (do a little whooing over it)

Where did I go wrong? I lost my head.
I want to dance on fire and be born     again
Where did I go wrong? I lost my head.
                               (keep playing the chord for 4 bars)
I want to dance on fire and be born     again
I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead

[intro]     (2x)   (final chord)
