  30 <p>Capo 6th fret (original key Bb major). <br />
  31 The &ldquo;Bbdim&rdquo; is only a faint approximation to the wealth of notes
  32 sounding at this point (and never twice the same, it seems). A chord
  33 like x12300 or x12202 captures that fairly well, but there are really
  34 no &ldquo;correct&rdquo; chords here!<br />
  35 The same goes for the other two chords &ndash; basically tonic, fifth and a
  36 lot of blue notes.</p>

  42 I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around

  44 now I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown

  46 I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
  47
  48 and my love for her is taking such a long time to die

  56 The walls of pride is high and wide,
  57 can't see over to the other side
  58 It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay,
  59 it's sadder still to feel your heart torn away
  60 one look at you and I'm out of control
  61 like the universe has swallowed me whole
  62 I'm 20 miles out of town and Cold Irons bound
  63
  64 There's too many people, too many to recall
  65 I thought some of 'em were friends of mine
  66 I was wrong about 'em all
  67 Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud
  68 Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
  69 I found my world, I found my world in you
  70 but your love just hasn't proved true
  71 I'm 20 miles out of town, Cold Irons bound
  72 20 miles out of town, Cold Irons bound

  76 Well the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
  77 reality has always had too many heads
  78 some things last longer than you think they will
  79 there are some kind of things you can never kill
  80 it's you and you only I'm thinking about
  81 but you can't see in, and it's hard looking out
  82 I'm 20 miles out of town, Cold Irons bound
  83
  84 Well the fat's in the fire, and the water's in the tank
  85 and the whiskey's in the jar, and the money's in the bank
  86 I tried to love and protect you because I cared
  87 I'm gonna remember forever the joy we've shared
  88 but looking at you and I'm on my bended knee
  89 you have no idea what you do to me
  90 I'm 20 miles out of town Cold Irons bound

  96 <h2 class="songversion">Live versions (2000-)</h2>
  97
  98 <p>Kenneth Mirandola has noted that in live versions (fall 2001) &ldquo;both
  99 Campbell and Larry played with capoes. Larry was capoed at the first
 100 fret and Sexton at the third.&rdquo; These are the chords according to
 101 those two capo positions. <br />
 102 I've tabbed out some suggestions for licks for the version with A
 103 major chords. The changes between A and A7 (G and G7 in the second
 104 version) are not played as regularly as in the tab.<br />
 105 The Ebdim descent could also be seen (and played) as a descent
 106 eb-d-c-b over a sustained D7 or D9 (xx0210) chord.</p>
