These chords are an INTERPRETATION of this song. This is NOT an exact rendition of the
by ANY shape of the imagination. I just enjoy playing it this way more.
(Pick the verses rather than strum, keep the picking pattern simple)
There are things I have done.
There’s a place I have gone.
(bar)
There’s a beast and I let it run
now it’s running my way.
There are things I regret
You can’t forgive you can’t forget
(bar)
There’s a gift that you sent
you sent it my way.
(Yes … the verse DOES end w/ Am and Chorus still starts with Am
If you pick the verse and strum the chorus it works great)
Chorus:
So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I’m not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night
Lay me down on the street.
I know I’m not forgiven
but I hope that I’ll be given some peace.
(Verse 2: Back to simple picking.)
(Follow the Am-2x E-2x pattern originally set in the first verse and remember this song
all about vocal inflection not guitar prowess ... listen to the song if you don't
me.)
There’s a game that I played.
There are rules I had to break.
There’s mistakes
that I made but I made them my way.
So take this night
and wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I’m not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep.
So take this night
and lay me down on the street.
I know I’m not forgiven
but I hope that I’ll be given some peace.
Some peace, some peace.
Comment if you'd like ... I already told you that its an interpretation of the original.
