nice slow blues rhythm, quite easy to play, acoustically or as intended on
electric, there are some individual notes on the intro but one can play around
with them over the E and A strings while on the C/G chord.
It is meant to be a C chord but the C/G gives it a beefier tone – up to you.
Occasionally I embellish the C/G by lifting the 3rd and 4th fingers making this
an Am7 chord – works quite nicely!
Chords:
C/G - F - G and if you can occasional Am7
[Intro]
C/G Am7 C/G
C/GAin't it just like dyin'F  
FExcept you can still feel the shC/Game
FAll hands on deck, now
FThe sea is gettin' rough agaiC/Gn
FYou see him out your window
FEven when you close the blindsC/G  
GAnd all you ever wanted
FWas someone to treat you nice and kindC/G  
C/G
FTake a step before runnin’, yeah
FTake a breath now before you dieC/G  
FWhen you work the streets, darlin’
FMake sure your sneaker laces, they get tiedC/G  
FI be your black bird darlin’
FHanging on your telephone wireC/G  
GFlap my wings, oh yeah
FAnd set your heart a flyC/G  
Crank up the volume/stomp on the distortion here, slide the C/G down slightly and back,
add a lift from third and fourth finger (Am7) to get a slight tonal change then one
quick F (vibrato) back to C/G…,one elongated G (vibrato) then finish on C/G.
C/G   C/G( F) C/G   C/G( G) - finish on C/G
