This may be a nice little add-on to the already posted chord files! It is the

main riff played by the bass and later on, the guitar.

Standard Tuning

From the beginning, the bass

||----------------------------------||

||----------------------------------||

||----------------4-5--5--5-5-5-4---||

||--5--5--5-5-5-7-----------------7-||

In the song you clearly here the guitar playing the riff one octave higher:

"And pointing a finger at me. There you go" at 2:08:

||----------------------------------||

||----------------6-7--7--7-7-7-6---||

||--7--7--7-7-7-9-----------------9-||

Offcourse, the variations continue throughout the song by guitar and bass.

Then it ends with the guitar playing some solo:

"in another place" at 6:43:

slow bend up, then go down again

THIS IS THE CHORD FILE WITH LYRICS, ALREADY POSTED EARLIER BY DAN KOSCHALKA

VERSES:

A D

If I ventured in the slipstream

A D

Between the viaducts of your dream

A D

Where immobile steel rims crack

A D

And the ditch in the back roads stop

CHORUS:

A F#m

Could you find me?

A F#m

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

A F#m

To lay me down

A F#m

In silence easy

A D

To be born again

A D

To be born again

From the far side of the ocean

If I put the wheels in motion

And I stand with my arms behind me

And I'm pushin' on the door

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

To lay me down

In silence easy

To be born again

To be born again

There you go

Standin' with the look of avarice

Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter

Showin' pictures on the wall

Whisperin' in the hall

And pointin' a finger at me

There you go, there you go

Standin' in the sun darlin'

With your arms behind you

And your eyes before

There you go

Takin' good care of your boy

Seein' that he's got clean clothes

Puttin' on his little red shoes

I see you know he's got clean clothes

A-puttin' on his little red shoes

A-pointin' a finger at me

And here I am

Standing in your sad arrest

Trying to do my very best

Lookin' straight at you

Comin' through, darlin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah

If I ventured in the slipstream

Between the viaducts of your dreams

Where immobile steel rims crack

And the ditch in the back roads stop

Could you find me

Would you kiss-a my eyes

Lay me down

In silence easy

To be born again

To be born again

To be born again

In another world

In another world

In another time

Got a home on high

Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world

I'm nothing but a stranger in this world

I got a home on high

In another land

So far away

So far away

Way up in the heaven

Way up in the heaven

Way up in the heaven

Way up in the heaven

In another time

In another place

In another time

In another place

Way up in the heaven

Way up in the heaven

We are goin' up to heaven

We are goin' to heaven

In another time

In another place

In another time

In another place

In another face
