This is quite a difficult song to play. You can just strum the chords if you want
although it sounds better if you pick them.
Elvis may not play the bass notes since the song is played with a double bass and
a guitar but if you pick each chord focusing on the
bass notes it sounds pretty good to me!
If you need any tips or help in playing it feel free to message me, enjoy :)

No one looks in this place for motive or any hope
GCFDsus2
But for the dead shot of an amber glass, the blue light of a votive
CC/BAmAm/GFF/EDsus2
Rain obscured the window as the pain was dulled by the grains
GCFDsus2
Absolved by spoons in flames and fear in time dissolving
GG/AG/BCC/BAmAm/GF
It's not for the faint of pulse or anybody false
Dsus2GGsus4
Those amateurs who simply she'd their skins
GG/AG/BCC/BAmAm/GF
Where are those traitors now, we once called patriots?
Dsus2GGsus4
Just like those saints who seem to revel in their sins

Oh, my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging
CBBbAG
After our assassin's work was done
AmGFEmDsus2
The bells and hands were only there for the wringing
FCC/Dsus2
And we were bringing bullets for the new-born king
CC/BAmAm/GFF/EDsus2
The trumpet sound lamenting, tramping down the blooms of the deceased
GCFDsus2
The double agent girl and the fallen priest were heading for the border
CC/BAmAm/GFF/EDsus2
Somewhere in the high command, there stayed the palest hand
GCFDsus2
That saw the order countermand, erased a tape recorder
FC
And then they hung him from a window cord
GG/AG/BCC/BAmAm/GF
Swallow down that voodoo vial and stay your breath a while
Dsus2GGsus4
Before we spill the tale that we have spun
GG/AG/BCC/BAmAm/GF
And now I shall confide all that I have denied
Dsus2GGsus4
Oh, I'm so sorry for the things I've done
CBBbAG
Oh, my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging
CBBbAG
After our assassin's work was done
AmGFEmDsus2
The bells and hands were only there for the wringing
