Tab (notes given relative to open g tuning):
g variant 1 x05035
g variant 2 x00000
a minor 7 x02012
a minor 7 sus 4 variant 1 x02010
b minor 7 minor 6 x04232
RE 7 sus 4 x04010
a minor 7 sus 2 variant 2 x20010
The astute reader will note quickly that the a minor 7
doesn't have an a in it! Perhaps I should have called it a c major. :)
The low d doesn't show up in these chords, but it does fit in the key, so
you can use it too. I don't much like the sound, though.
Lyrics and chord outline (verses are all the same as the first one):
SOL 1
Has there ever been a winter so cold and so sad,
g1 (or g2) a min 7
A river too weary to flood?
SOL 1
The storm and the wind cut through to my skin,
g 1 (or g 2) a min 7
But she cut through to my blood.
I wasn't lookin' for trouble to tangle my line,
But trouble came lookin' for me.
I knew I was on unsteady ground,
I was sinkin' too fast to run free.
chorus
amin7 amin7/2 bmin7 g2
With her schemin', idle ways,
amin7 amin7/2 g2
She left me poor enough.
SOL2
The stormin' wind cut through to my skin,
amin7 d76 g1
But she cut through to my blood.
I would not be askin', I would not be seen,
Beggin' from mountain or hill,
But I'm ready and blind with my hands tied behind,
I've neither a mind nor a will.
chorus
It's bitter the need of the poor ditching boy,
He'll always believe what they say,
They tell him it's hard to be honest and true,
Does he mind if he doesn't get payed?
chorus
[repeat last line of chorus]
