VERSE 1 RIFF 1 ( A = Open A --- G = 3rd fret)

Mama, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel

Just a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel

Mama, cold hearted child, tell me where it's all gone

The luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong

I been worryin', I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear

I been worryin', I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear

Em (pick) D RIFF 2

I been worryin', I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear

VERSE 2 RIFF 1

My my, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel

Just a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill

My my, cold hearted child, tell me where it all fall's

Oh this apathy you feel will make a fool of us all

I been worryin', I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear

I been worryin', I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear

Em (pick) D RIFF 2

I been worryin', I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear

BRIDGE RIFF 2 THROUGHOUT

Oh I will become what I deserve x 4

I been worryin', I been worryin',

I will become what I deserve

I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear

I will become what I deserve

(STRUM ONCE)

I been worryin', I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear

I been worryin', I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear

I been worryin', I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear -- RIFF 2

END.

Cheers and enjoy!
