NOTE: This is not the version from The Bittersweet album. I'm not sure what LP or
EP this version is from, but I think it's better than The Bittersweet version. He
does it in Drop D, but I do this in standard tuning. It's up to you!
[Dm]I would have given my world to s[C]ee[F]
[C]You deliv[F]er the jailer[C]'s key
