Tears Of Blood

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 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. A/D: e|----(2)----0---------| B|----(2)----2---------| G|----(2)----2---------| D|----(2)----2---------| A|----(2)----0---------| E|-----------0---------| However it sounds alright if you just put the capo across all strings and play a normal A chord if it’s easier. :) *************              verse 1 I could come by rail or baby I could come by car I’ve been missing you in Houston ’neath that bar Yeah and I cannot remember all the reasons that you left I know none of them rings true inside my heart verse 2 I bet you’re drinking as you go baby you’re so full of holes I’m surprised the whiskey doesn’t pour right out And I may not be your best choice but I thought love could fill the void If you need something that will not let you down             Chorus When the tide comes and wets the embers Of the fire you tried to keep Just remember that I will wait for you These tears of blood I weep verse 3 It’s looking like a storm out here on Highway 61 At least that’s where we were before I fell asleep Yeah me and all the boys are living hard out on the road I know you don’t care just talking as I think               Chorus When the tide comes and wets the embers Of the fire you tried to keep Just remember that I will wait for you These tears of blood I weep      Bridge If you could teach me how I swear I’d stay on the ground I just feel like I am Falling down verse 4 When time has washed away all of the emptiness and pain The parts the booze and pills just couldn’t kill Hope you turn and come back home I’ll be waiting here alone ’Cause I swear to God I know I love you still               Chorus When the tide comes and wets the embers Of the fire you tried to keep Just remember that I will wait for you These tears of blood I weep When the tide comes and wets the embers Of the fire you tried to keep Just remember that I will wait for you These tears of blood I weep           These tears of blood I weep
