Just an interpretation of this great song. Feel Free to email me with suggestions or comments. Enjoy! Capo 4 C My mother once told me Esus E The thicker your skin, A7sus A7 The better off you’ll be dm When this world brings you down Dm/G /G# It’s trying to control me Am dm7 Leave me without hope F In the past I’ve been burned G But I’ve lived and I’ve learned [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/a/ari-hest/153194.html ] Chorus: C G/B ‘Neath the shelter of the pouring rain Am G In the absence of this fear and pain C G/B I will finally bid my ball and chains Am – G A fond farewell C G/B On a road that leads me to my place Am G Gonna rid my heart of past disgrace F G I will finally bid this sluggish pace Am – G A fond farewell… C I heard their reservations Esus E And I read their bitter words A7sus A7 I shined a light upon their wisdom dm No matter how absurd Dm/G /G# Oh they broke my heart to pieces Am dm7 And I questioned my own beliefs F My dignity was gone G It’s time to move on… (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: F Say goodbye to feeling sorry for myself To begging others for far too much help dm This is my hand these are the cards that I’ve been dealt Only I can make these changes, nobody else F Say goodbye to these sleepless nights Those corridors with no end in sight dm A driven man with these words I write G I’m making peace with my soul tonight (Repeat Chorus) |
