There's a pull within my bones


Em                 Dmaj     Em


Like a ship that's bound by rope

        A Drive-by shooting shot down by 12 ounce city proof slugs

Embedded, in my head

    Cmaj       Gmaj


The ache in my head....

        Sticks from a ditch


F#m/C#  Gmaj (Barre) Gmaj7                  Cmaj


        That Midwest Farmers Daughter's the one thats making me itch

There's a pull within my bones


Em                 Dmaj     Em


Like a ship that's bound by rope

It won't let go, It Won't let go


         C      Dmaj         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go...



Solo:

For the Solo Part Geoff Weers uses an Em chord with some quick little mutted strums in 
between. You should be able to figure it out on your own,
Listen to the song to figure out the rhythm.

Em                  Dmaj Em

Like a ship that's bound by rope


            C      Dmaj         Em


It won't let go, It Won't let go...


             C      Dmaj         Em <------------ He Goes back to Open Chords


It won't let go, It Won't let go...


Em                 Dmaj     Em
