TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK
by Patti Scialfa
Hey guys, this is my attempt of figuring out the chords to an acoustic version of this
song. Any help is greatly appreciated, Im not quite sure if it fits a 100% but it sounds
good to me so far. Just comment if you have any ideas on how to make it sound more accurate.
TUNING
Either low e string tuned one step down OR guitar tuned one step down and a capo on the
2nd fret except first low e string (chords according to capo).
Just lift your finger from the 4th string when playing the Dm chord to make it sound
better. I listened to the acoustic version where Patti sings a duet with Bruce Springsteen
during his Magic Tour. The lyrics are probably not 100% like the ones on the album version.
CHORDS
Dm (0-0-0-2-3-1)-|
G (3-2-0-0-0-1)--|
Am (0-0-2-2-1-0)-|
[Dm]They say love
[Dm]A love has its very own light
[Dm]That can shine through the darkest night
[Dm]That we've heard of
[Dm]And that light
[Dm]That you may want so much
[Dm]Well maybe you can never touch
[Dm]Though you may try
[G]Now at night I dream
[Dm]I'm all alone
[G]Big sledgehammer and a [Dm]cold dark stone
[G]Man swing the hammer
[Dm]World begin to shake
[Dm]I'm just living in a [Am]town called Heartbreak[Dm]
[Dm]Now Eve
[Dm]She stood by Adam's side
[Dm]Ah, somewhere in paradise
[Dm]When the world was young
[Dm]And their love
[Dm]That was so pure and sound
[Dm]Was cursed straight into the ground
[Dm]That they walked on
Now [G]somewhere in every kiss
[Dm]I still feel the blame
Like a [G]dirty link
[Dm]In a long dark chain
[G]Man pull the chain
[Dm]World begin to shake
[Dm]I'm just living in a [Am]town called Heartbreak[Dm]
You gotta [G]work with me baby
You gotta [Dm]work with me baby
You gotta [G]work with me baby
You gotta [Dm]work with me baby
You gotta [G]work with me baby
You gotta [Dm]work with me baby
You gotta [G]work with me baby
You gotta [Am]work with me baby[Dm]
[Dm]She says "man,
[Dm]I've given you my flesh and blood
[Dm]But that just wasn't good enough
[Dm]You wanted my soul"
[Dm]He says "girl,
[Dm]No matter how hard I try
[Dm]You just ain't ever satisfied
[Dm]no no no"
Now at [G]night the same dream
[Dm]I'm all alone
[G]Big sledgehammer and a [Dm]cold dark stone
[G]Man swing the hammer
[Dm]World begin to shake
[Dm]I'm just living in a [Am]town called Heartbreak[Dm]
You gotta [G]work with me baby
You gotta [Dm]work with me baby
You gotta [G]work with me baby
You gotta [Dm]work with me baby
You gotta [G]work with me baby
You gotta [Dm]work with me baby
You gotta [G]work with me baby
You gotta [Am]work with me baby
[Dm]I'm just living in a [Am]town called Heartbreak ([G]I'm just living in a [Am]town called Heartbreak)
[Dm]I'm just living in a [Am]town called Heartbreak ([G]I'm just living in a [Am]town called Heartbreak
[Dm]
