Beck - Woe On Me (Previously Unreleased) One Foot in the Grave
This is a very simplified way to play the song, it's not very accurate, but does sound similar.
Tuning: 2 steps down
The verse is basically a Gmajor:
e----333--33---33---33---33-00000-|
b----333--33---33---33---33-00000-|
g----000--00---00---00---00-00000-|
d----000--00---00---00---00-00000-|
a----222-333---22--333---22-00000-|
e--3-33------3-33------3-33-33333-|
 G- (As transcribed above)
On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet
GThe bones of our elders were lying in the street
GOn the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I've flown
GI barely cried wherever I'd ride I ride I never found a home
CWoe Don mGe
SAmomehow I will feel more fDree
GTo wallow in the empty headed peCace
AmWhere the plain hearted sorrows never ceDase
GI am just a ramshackle I go from town to town
GWhere there is no shelter I lay down on the grown
GI've killed for no reason I've pissed upon a kind
GCost them all and burned the bone when I've had the time
CWoe Don mGe
SAmomehow I will feel more fDree
GTo wallow in the empty headed peCace
AmWhere the plain hearted sorrows never ceDase
GWell there's saints and there are animals they've taken what they could
GAnd it's written in the pages to do just what they should
GWell they stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb
GLike a fashion with no passion they open up their skin
CWoe Don mGe
SAmomehow I will feel more fDree
GTo wallow in the empty headed peCace
AmWhere the plain hearted sorrows never ceDase

On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet

The bones of our elders were lying in the street

On the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I've flown

I barely cried wherever I'd ride I ride I never found a home

C D G

Woe on me

Am D

Somehow I will feel more free

G C

To wallow in the empty headed peace

Am D

Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease

I am just a ramshackle I go from town to town

Where there is no shelter I lay down on the grown

I've killed for no reason I've pissed upon a kind

Cost them all and burned the bone when I've had the time

C D G

Woe on me

Am D

Somehow I will feel more free

G C

To wallow in the empty headed peace

Am D

Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease

Well there's saints and there are animals they've taken what they could

And it's written in the pages to do just what they should

Well they stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb

Like a fashion with no passion they open up their skin

C D G

Woe on me

Am D

Somehow I will feel more free

G C

To wallow in the empty headed peace

Am D

Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
