Key:
Em*: 022003
Gmaj7*: 320032
Em7: 022033 D/G: xxx032 [Intro] D x4 D D6 D D6 D6 x8 [Verse 1]
D D/F#* G* Spinning that stone uphill again
Em/G* D Like atonement for a bygone sin
D/F# G Under the weight of it, my bones
Em/G Cracking like a dry branch in a
D westward wind
D/F#* G* But Zeus and his pantheon of kin
Em/G* D Take the first nine out of every ten
D/F# G Minas, like lightning changing hands
Em It all returns back to his pockets, in the end
Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 You can't take any gold or rings
Em/G Bm further than the grave
D/A Nothing we make can we bring
Gmaj7 But still the bait hanging from the
Em string is calling my name
Asus4 G And like the wind it slips again
D Out of my fingers [Interlude]
D Gmaj7 D G [Verse 2]
D D/F# G As Fortuna sits idly by
Em D I spin her wheel with all my might
D/F# G Crushing my kin for warring-wage
Em Minted from the ivory of your tooth
D and eye
Dsus2/F# Gmaj7 Under the table where she dines
Em* I sit hungry with my mouth foamed
D white
Dsus2/F# Fighting for crumbs that trickle
Gmaj7* down
Em7 As she finishes her cake, and takes a bite of mine [Chorus]
Gmaj7 You can't take any gold or rings
Em/G Bm further than the grave
D/A Nothing we make can we bring
Gmaj7 But still the bait hanging from the
Em string is calling my name
Asus4 G And like the wind it slips again
D Out of my fingers [Other]
