a normal A chord in relation to the capo but add the open bottom string. The tab
below shows this: the bracketed 2's represent the capo.
verse 1
I could come by rail or baby, I could come by car
I've been missing you in Houston 'neath that bar
Yeah, and I cannot remember all the reasons that you left
I know none of them rings true inside my heart
verse 2
I bet you're drinking as you go, baby you're so full of holes
I'm surprised the whiskey doesn't pour right out
And I may not be your best choice, but I thought love could fill the void
If you need something that will not let you down
Chorus
When the tide comes and wets the embers
Of the fire you tried to keep
Just remember that I will wait for you
These tears of blood I weep
verse 3
It's looking like a storm out here on Highway 61
At least that's where we were before I fell asleep
Yeah, me and all the boys are living hard out on the road
I know you don't care, just talking as I think
Chorus
When the tide comes and wets the embers
Of the fire you tried to keep
Just remember that I will wait for you
These tears of blood I weep
Bridge
If you could teach me how
I swear I'd stay on the ground
I just feel like I am
Falling down
verse 4
When time has washed away all of the emptiness and pain
The parts the booze and pills just couldn't kill
Hope you turn and come back home, I'll be waiting here alone
'Cause I swear to God, I know I love you still
Chorus
When the tide comes and wets the embers
Of the fire you tried to keep
Just remember that I will wait for you
These tears of blood I weep
When the tide comes and wets the embers
Of the fire you tried to keep
Just remember that I will wait for you
These tears of blood I weep
These tears of blood I weep
