  C                 C6
Today, and tomorrow, and yesterday, too
Am               G/b        C
 The flowers are dyin' like all things do
D#dim                           Em           F6
 Follow me close, I'm going to Bally-na-Lee
C                               G7
 I'll lose my mind if you don't come with me
  F                        F#dim
I fuss with my hair, and I fight blood feuds
C/g        G11  C
 I contain multitudes
            

Got a tell-tale heart like Mr. Poe
Got skeletons in the walls of people you know

C         F      C         F
 Precious angel, under the sun,
C        F        Am            F
 How was I to know you'd be the one
C/e               F       C/g               F
 To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone
C                     F           Am          F
 How weak was the foundation I was standing upon?

Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceived
When the truth's in our hearts and we still don't believe?

Tell Tale Signs version

This is quite a simple song if you are a band, that is, where each player can play around with a riff. But since you’re more likely a single guitar player, you’ll have to choose. The initial tab line shows the two basic elements that run through the verse sections: the piano riff and the bass line.

Other than that, it’s just a bluesy Em7 (022430)

C
Ramona, come closer
                        G    G6  G7
Shut softly your watery eyes

The pangs of your sadness
                              C    Csus4   C
Will pass as your senses will rise
    F
The flowers of the city
                                    G      G6   G7
Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes

And there's no use in tryin'

To deal with the dyin'
                                C
Though I cannot explain that in lines.

Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
As to be by the strength of your skin
Your magnetic movements

Mama, take this badge off of me
G        D         C
 I can't use it anymore.
G             D                 Am7
 It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
G                D                    C
 I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

G7
I crossed the Rubicon on the fourteenth day

Of the most dangerous month of the year.

At the worst time, at the worst place,

That's all I seem to hear.
C                                                      G
I got up early so I could greet the Goddess of the dawn.
D7                                          C
 I've painted my wagon, abandoned all hope,
                              G7
  And I've crossed the Rubicon

Well, the Rubicon is a red river,
Going gently as she flows.
Redder than your ruby lips
And the blood that flows from the rose.

Empire Burlesque version

          B                      E
You got a Tight connection to my heart
You got a Tight connection to my heart
You got a Tight connection to my heart
You got a Tight connection to my heart

        B
Well, I had to move fast
      D#m
And I couldn't with you around my neck.
  G#m
I said I'd send for you and I did
E
What did you expect?
   B
My hands are sweating
       D#m                   E

A
When you're sad and when you're lonely

And you haven't got a friend
       E                            A
Just remember that death is not the end

And all that you held sacred

Falls down and does not bend
       E                            A
Just remember that death is not the end.

              D/a  A
Not the end,       (no, no)
              D/a  A
not the end        (no, no)
       E                            A
Just remember that death is not the end.

When you're standing on the cross-roads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
