Song is played in Open-D Tuning
You'll have to listen to the song to get the rhythm, but it simply repeats the chord
pattern over and over.
The first words of each verse starts right as the F switches to the G. Again, listen to
it... you'll hear it. As best I can tell, he improvises his solos each time.

You throw me water when I'm drowning
You take my kindling when I'm cold
You give me matches when I'm burning
And give me pennies for my gold
You've got a heart as heart as hard as diamonds
It shines like a piece of coal
BUried deep in the ground,
Like your cold, black soul.
You've got-a one hand in my pocket
The other hand on the spade
sending me to the bottle
and into my early grave
well I tried like hell to leave you
but you keep pulling me back
your love is like a freight train
and I'm tied to the tracks
SOLO
SOLO
SOLO
SOLO
Well no soul on earth could love you
No man can satisfy
Only hell-born fire could ever warm you
you should be the devil's bride
Repeat & fade
Solo as needed
