...............G
I got this scar above my eye

...............D
from the dirty little shit

........Am............................................Em
who tried to love me underneath the bridge

I broke a bottle on his ear
as the sun was pouring down
I never stopped to see if he was dead

about a half a mile a way
in a pile of broken things
he hid a green jewel bigger than my hand
when I find it I'll be gone
down to Florida so far
from my frigged rain that kept me here so long

hey could you walk a little slower
my legs don't work so good in this cold weather
tore myself open
if I only had a dime
and just one minute of your time
I'm a ghost I'll be fading with the light

................D
I got this lump growing in my neck

..............Em
that somebody ought to see

.........D..............................................Em
got a rattle in my chest the way it sounds

...............D
it's like a barrel full of empty bottles

Em
rolling through the night

............D..........................................Em
hitting every fucking pothole in this town

I got this scar above my eye
from the dirty little shit
who tried to love me underneath the bridge
I broke a bottle on his ear
as the sun was pouring down
I never stopped to see if he was dead

hey could you walk a little slower
my legs don't work so good in this cold weather
tore myself open
if I only had a dime
and just one minute of your time
I'm a ghost I'll be fading with the light
oh I'm a ghost I'll be fading with the light
oh I'm a ghost

Top work. One addition though: The Em chord shape in the chorus is alternated with a similar chord that is a tone/two frets higher on the D string.
