That Old Black Hole chords by Dr Dog

rock this one out on the acoustic if you get the strumming down, especially the double
time part.  I tried to nail the chord changes on the lyrics but this editor kinda sucks.
Maybe my first and last guitar tab!  Feel free to contact me at padzeke@me.com.


Intro: Gmin - 4bars

Gm9                     B
I put on my clothes like a body guard
        Cm7                     E
I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
Gm9                           B
I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready
    Cm7                             E
And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady

         E
There's an elephant in my head
      B
And I tip toe around it
         Cm7
There are eggshells on the floor
          E
Therefore I never touch the ground

               E
It's like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,
  F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive

        Gm9
I got my eyes on the prize
        B
But it looks just like a mystery
        Cm7                  E
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
    Gm9                           B
I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls
          Cm7                        E
And the show really starts once the curtain falls

         E
Take this thorn from my side
         B
Fix this chip on my shoulder
         Cm7
Time is racing with the clock
         E
And I ain't getting any older


               E
It's like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,

               E
It's like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,

               E
It's like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,
  F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive

Gmin("Whoo!")


B
I put on my finest thread
      B                                Cm7
And I wrap up my body tight
                      Cm7
With the sun in my eyes
                 B
I step into the night
       Cm7                E
Like the mystery in the dark
Oh, it's just another kind of light

      B
I don't expect you to believe me
      Cm7              B
But everything is al--right
          B
I don't make rules for a living
      B                            Cm7
I don't do tricks for a dime

                 Cm7
I was born on a good day,
                 B
Deaf, dumb and blind.
      Cm7           E
Who am I to tell the truth?

I don't even know what it is.


  B                           Cm7                B
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.
  B                           Cm7                B
I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you.


(now for the fun..double time)

      B
I tie my boots up tight
  B
And I head straight for bed
         Cm7
There's a pistol and a crystal
Cm7
Underneath my pillow

       B
There's a tender heart
           B
Inside that ugly armadillo
          Cm7
"These are tears of joy,"
         F#maj
Cried the weeping willow

        E
There's a spirit in the air
       F#maj
And there ain't no way around it
      B
I was not prepared to lose it
       Cm7
On the moment that I found it

               E
It's like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,

               E
It's like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,

               E
It's like that old black hole,
  F#maj
No matter how you try,
  F#maj
You set out each day
F#maj
Never to arrive
