Tears Of Blood(Keyboard chords)

Ron Pope

Key: A

Tuning: I find the best way to play this is with the
Capo on the 2nd fret but only
covering the top 5 strings.This means, in the Chorus where it says B/E, play it as  
a normal A chord in relation to the capo but add the open bottom string. The tab  
below shows this: the bracketed 2's represent the capo.


However, it sounds alright if you just put the capo across all strings and play
a normal A chord if it's easier. :)

I've been missing you in Houston 'neath that bar 
          E                          B 
Yeah, and I cannot remember all the reasons that you left 
        C#m                               A 
I know none of them rings true inside my heart

        C#m                                   A 
I'm surprised the whiskey doesn't pour right out 
          E                                       B 
And I may not be your best choice, but I thought love could fill the void 
        C#m                                  A           A   G# 
If you need something that will not let you down

It's looking like a storm out here on Highway 61 
                C#m                            A 
At least that's where we were before I fell asleep 
       E                              B 
Yeah, me and all the boys are living hard out on the road 
        C#m                               A              A   G# 
I know you don't care, just talking as I think

These tears of blood I weep 

Bridge

    A         B        E 
If you could teach me how 
        A        B      E 
I swear I'd stay on the ground 
        A        B 
I just feel like I am 
E  B/Eb  C#m 
Falling down 

verse 4 

     E                                B 
When time has washed away all of the emptiness and pain 
    C#m                                      A 
The parts the booze and pills just couldn't kill 
          E                                B 
Hope you turn and come back home, I'll be waiting here alone 
          C#m                              A             A   G# 
'Cause I swear to God, I know I love you still

These tears of blood I weep 
         C#m         A           E 
When the tide comes and wets the embers 
        C#m      B/E       E 
Of the fire you tried to keep

These tears of blood I weep
