I got really tired of seeing people over-complicate this song. Buy a capo people, they're useful.

C Am F G
Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe
C F G
Fall down on your knees in the dirt
C Am F G
I'm tied to the mast between water and wind
C F G
Believe me, you'll never get hurt
Am G F C
Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole
Am G F G
Down at the Five Points I -------stand
C Am
I'll lose everything
F G C
But I won't let go of your hand
C Am F G
Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed
C F G
I'll bail with the roll of the drum
C Am F G
And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel
C F G
And the watchman is making his rounds
Am G F C
Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth
Am G F G
I've only got one leg to stand
C Am
You can send me to hell
F G C
But I'll never let go of your hand
G C
Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream
G C
Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood
F G
From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand
F G
Walking back home in the mud
C Am F G
Now I must make my best of the only way home
C F G
Molly deals only in stone
C Am F G
I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes
C F G
Just give me a couple more throws
Am G F C
I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight
Am G F G
Dare me to jump and I ---- will
C Am
I'll fall from your grace
F G C
But I'll never let go of your hand
F G C
I'll never let go of your hand
