And play it in this order:
Intro
D A Bm x4
D A Bm G A
18 karat gold wouldn't fill the hole
D A Bm G A
The bleeding hole in her heart, that's made from cicumstances at home
D A Bm G A
Because they kept pulling her hair, and so it choked her words
D A Bm G A
She don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light
D A Bm
And she's home
D A Bm x2
G A
D A Bm G A
I thought 18 karat gold would save a lonely soul
D A Bm G A
But she don't sleep at night, afraid to turn out the light
D A Bm G A
Cause they kept pulling her hair, wouldn't leave her alone
D A Bm G A
But if only I could read her mind and release that stone
(Just strum this part, no picking)
D A Em Bm
In her heart where the sadness grows, I'd operate with this knife
D A Em Bm
And cut a big fat giant hole, to fill with gold and light
F Am Dm
But there's an endless battle to be won
F Am Dm
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
F Am Dm
And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on
F Am D-A-Bm (<---Pick "D-A-Bm")
So you scream about it in the night.....
(Start to pick again!)
D A Bm
Oh, in the night ...
D A Bm
In the night ...
D A Bm G A
Oh, in the night ...
D A Bm G A
My 18 karat gold, it fills a dirty hole
D A Bm G A
A dirty bleeding hole in my heart, you people think it's made from circumstances at home
D A Bm G A
Well if someone ever should be pulling your hair, then I guess you should leave them alone
D A Bm G A
And now you want me to read your mind and release that stone
(stop picking and strum!)
D A Em Bm
That stone in your heart where the sadness grows. You know I, I'd operate with this knife
D A Em Bm
And cut a big fat f**king hole, to fill with gold and light
F Am Dm
But there's an endless battle to be won
F Am Dm
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
F Am Dm
And soon, you won't have the strength to carry on
F Am Dm
And so you scream about it in the night
F Am Dm
There's an endless battle to be won
F Am Dm
And me I ain't a man with an educated mind
F Am Dm
You won't have the strength to carry on
F Am D A Bm (<--Start picking from D)
So you scream about it in the night
D A Bm
Oh, in the night ...
D A Bm
In the night ...
D A Bm G A
Oh, in the night ...
