HOT COALS
(As performed by Evan Dando on the "Heavy" soundtrack)
Intro:  Em (7th fret)  A  (5th fret)            A:  007655
DI saw you leave the Bmbar last night with some Gmfine and dandy Emman
DI heard from one of your Bmbuddies that he Gmasked you for your Emhand.
BmHe asked you for your Ahand but he don't Gmfit you like a Emglove
I'd walk over hot coals, just to win your love.
[Em / A  progression (once)]
DThey call me good for Bmnothing, and Gmthey call me "worthless Emjerk"
DThey call me in the Bmmorning when I Gmdon't show up for Emwork.
BmBut I don't think they Aunderstand, I got Gmbetter things to Emdo.
I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you
I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you
 Em/  Aprogression   (x3)

 Em(7)                    A(5)
To get along in this old world, it takes a cutthroat or a fool
 Em(7)           A(5)
When I'm out of cigarettes, I think the whole thing is so cruel
Ain't no piece of cake life ain't dishin out
Nothing that my heart can't take
DSome boys might fix your Bmcar and Gmtake you out to Emeat
DBut some boys might play Bmguitar and Gmsing a song so Emsweet
BmBut that's all good and Aproper but Gmit's not really my Emstyle.
I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you
I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you
Em /  A   progression to end
