Usually I play this D shape: e|----0----| B|----3----| G|----2----| D|----0----| A|----x----| E|----x----| Intro: G Verse 1: G C When I’m hosed and they're closing in, maybe only then, Em D G really, I’ll try to get right with myself. C So I’ll grope down that ladder again, until I’m tumbling Em D G but really, I just want to slide, I want to crash-land. C While my friend, my associate, he’s a regal man. Em D G He bindles and he twists and ties, gives the reckoning, C and then it’s back on the road again with maybe thirteen grand. Em D G Moralize all you might like, I don't believe in it. Chorus: G C D (You’ve never earned your soul.) I know, D C D (You’ve never earned your soul.) I know, D C D (You’ve never earned your soul.) I know, Em C G D G but I’m gonna try. Verse 2: G C I’m a rich young sophisticate, I’ve got girls and friends. Em D G I’m doing what I really like and getting paid for it. G C There is no key, there’s no plan; I discovered that. Em D G And, truly, I don’t think you'll find a happier man. Chorus Em C G D "....but I'm gonna try." Em C You float up high and it isn’t a sin. G D And there isn’t a hell where we’ll be sent. Em C There’s only now, and there isn’t then. G D G So just breathe it in.
