Version 1 Version 2
            [Verse 1]

(When playing the verses, play the root note of the chords twice 
strumming - use open chords)

A           C
Follow me into the desert
     G         D    A
As thirsty as you are
A                  C
Crack a smile and cut your mouth
     G          D    A
And drown in alcohol
       A              C
cause down below the truth is lying
 G              D    A
Beneath the riverbed

A                        C
So quench yourself and drink the water

       G       D          A
That flows below her head


[Pre-Chorus]
C    D    E
    Oh no

C    D    E
    There she goes

C         G     D     C     D         C       D         C
    Out in the   sunshine     the sun is mine   the sun is mine

A


[Chorus]

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I shot my love today would you cry for me
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you lie for me
A              G                F    C       G   Eb D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you cry for me


[Verse 2]

(same as verse 1, chords A, C, G, D, A)


Close your eyes and bow your head

I need a little sympathy

cause fear is strong and loves for everyone

Who isn't me

So kill your health and kill yourself

And kill everything you love

And if you live you can fall to pieces

And suffer with my ghost


[Chorus]

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I shot my love today would you cry for me
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you lie for me
A              G                F    C       G   Eb D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you cry for me


[Bridge]

(strum each chord three times except D C A)

F7                   A
Just a burden in my hand
C                    Eb7
Just an anchor on my heart
A7                   C
Just a tumor in my head
                     G   Eb D
(...and I'm in the dark)


[Verse 3]

So follow me into the desert

As desperate as you are

the moon is glued to a picture of heaven

And all the little pigs have god


[Pre-Chorus]

C    A
Oh no
C          A
There she goes
C           A  C        A       C             C       A
Out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine


[Chorus]

A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I shot my love today would you cry for me
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you lie for me
A              G                F    C       G   Eb D
I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
A          G           F        C       G   Eb D
I lost my head again would you cry for me
