Cold As The Clay Chords, from the album Cold As The Clay. Tabbed by Ricky Horror (mrrickyhorror@yahoo.com for questions or errors) I can't believe no one has posted this one yet. A great song by one of the best artists around. Intro/Riff1: E-A-Ab-F#m-E verse: E-A-B-C#m-B--E chorus: -A-B-C#m-B-A, B-A--F#m-E Riff2: E-F#m-Ab-A (Basically riff1 inverted) Riff3: A-Ab-E-F#m *note: I think the F#m's might simply be F#, but it sounds more accurate to me as a minor chord when I play it. Intro: E-A-Ab-F#m-E E A Whispers of ancients buried by dust, B C#m Echoes of ages in canyons of rust, B E Is heaven so lonely? I'll know soon enough E F#mAb A B Cold as the clay, dark as a mine, C#m B A Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime B A E Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times E-A-B-C#m-B--E The tools of the trade lie shopworn and old The skills of the master done died with his soul And the worklike routine is so lonely and cold -A-B-C#m-B-A, B-A--F#m-E Cold as the clay, dark as a mine, Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times E-A-B-C#m-B--E The land was converted, the river was moved, The village expanded, some say it's improved, But the lingering feature is a grim attitude -A-B-C#m-B-A, B-A--F#m-E Cold as the clay, dark as a mine, Wasting away blood, sweat, and grime Panning for gold, picking for dimes, ly-in' & waiting for better times
