I’ve seen one tab for this song…and it’s quite wrong,
so I’m gonna do this right.
Main riff:
e|——-1p0——————|
B|—3-3——3-1—————|
G|—2—2———2—0———|
D|—0—————3—2—0—|
A|————————3—-|
E|—————————-|
Riff x2
I need your confidence, need to know your mine
When it gets right down to the killing time
I know your heart is bad, but it’s all I’ve ever had
We can live our lives on this righteous crime
(Play a freestyle version of the main riff:)
I got kicked when I was down and a sailor took my girl to town
then she licked my wounds with the sea dog’s salt
I drank a half a bottle of jack, swore I’d never take you back
by the bottle’s end I was on that phone.
A# C A
What you call compromise I don’t understand
A# C A C
What you call compromise—I don’t understand
D F G
How do you walk away?
D F G
How do you walk away?
D F G
Oh walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?
Solo:
For the first part of the solo, use this scale
E —————————10-13-|
B ———————10-13——|
G —————-10-12————|
D ————10-12—————-|
A ——10-12———————|
E -10-13—————————|
The second half is basically riff 2 with a few frills.
