Bloody Nieves

[Intro] Em  B  C  A
        Am  B7  Em

  Em        Am       B7            Em
I carry, oh carry my weight up the road
Em        Am        B7
Long have I lost my way
    Em      Am          B7            Em
The load is heavy, it’s sealed to the bone
      Em      Am   B7
And I feel my body ache

Em       Am      B7           Em
Bury oh, bury my sins up your arse
       Em     Am           B7
You’re not as shiny as you claim
Em         Am            B7       Em
Guilty oh, guilty though I may be judged
  Em         Am    B7
I take pride in my name

Am       Am/F#  Em
And they can’t see
   C     Am     B7/F#
My weak, bloody nieves

C            Em
Love, I will run
        G
Until I hold you again, I’m
C              Em
Wearing out my lungs
         G
And it’s killing me
     Am                B7
That you are still not here

( Em  Am/F#  D  G  F# )
( Em  C/G  D9/A  Em )

Em        Am         B7    Em
Carry oh, carry your ashes along
    Em          Am     B7
Yet they still burn my skin
 Em      Am         B7            Em
Atop the mountain my bearings are gone
     Em          Am        B7
Even God wouldn’t pray for me

Am       Am/F#  Em
And they can’t see
   C     Am     B7/F#
My weak, bloody nieves

C            Em
Love, I will run
        G
Until I hold you again, I’m
C              Em
Wearing out my lungs
         G
And it’s killing me
     Am                B7
That you are still not here

( Em  Am/F#  D  G  F# )
( Em  C/G  D9/A  Em )
( Em  Am/F#  B7  Em )
( Em  C/G  B7/F#  Em )

[Final] Em  B  C  A
        Am  B7  Em
