Capo 4
Intro x2
C - G - F - G
Verse 1
C G
A Thousand pairs of fiery eyes burn like a serpent down the hwy 5

As the long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds

But for all my revelating I just cant make sense of this gravity we're in

Cause I'm a dead man now with a ghost who lives

Within the confines of these carbon ribs

And one day when I'm free I will sit

The cripple at your table The cripple by your side

Verse 2
C G
A thousand miles of pain I'm sure led you to the threshold of my hearts screen door
F G C
To tell me what it is I'm dying for

F G C
But someone is standing in my place

No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus

To play it in the Capo 4 C position works better since it makes the lead
"ditty" easier to play (and it's the way JMM plays it live). For the actual
chords, transpose it above by clicking "up 4 half steps" to get it in E.
PLAY TOO ..
