And play it in this order:

[D] [A] [Bm] x4

[D]18 k[A]arat g[Bm]old  [G]wouldn't fill the hol[A]e
The b[D]leeding ho[A]le in her h[Bm]eart, that[G]'s made from cicumstances at h[A]ome
Because t[D]hey kept p[A]ulling her [Bm]hair, and [G]so it choked her wo[A]rds
S[D]he don't s[A]leep at nig[Bm]ht, a[G]fraid to turn out the l[A]ight
And she's hom[D]e       [A]            [Bm]
[D]   [A]   [Bm] x2
[G]   [A]

I thought 1[D]8 ka[A]rat go[Bm]ld would s[G]ave a lonely [A]soul
But [D]she don't [A]sleep at ni[Bm]ght, [G]afraid to turn out the [A]light
Cause th[D]ey kept pu[A]lling her h[Bm]air,[G] wouldn't leave her[A] alone
But if o[D]nly I could r[A]ead her [Bm]mind [G]and release that st[A]one

(Just strum this part, no picking)

In her hea[D]rt where the sadness gr[A]ows,[Em] I'd operate with this [Bm]knife
And cut a [D]big fat giant ho[A]le, to [Em]fill with gold and [Bm]light

But the[F]re's an endless ba[Am]ttle to be [Dm]won
And me [F]I ain't a man with[Am] an educate[Dm]d mind
And soon, y[F]ou won't have the s[Am]trength to carry[Dm] on
         F             Am       D-A-Bm                (<---Pick "D-A-Bm")
So you scream about it in the night.....

(Start to pick again!)
Oh, in the night ...[D]           [A]                  [Bm]
In the night ...  [D]             [A]                    [Bm]
Oh, in the night [D]...        [A]               [Bm]                         [G]                                 [A]

My 1[D]8 ka[A]rat go[Bm]ld, i[G]t fills a dirty h[A]ole
A dirty [D]bleeding hole i[A]n my h[Bm]eart, you people thi[G]nk it's made from circumstances at h[A]ome
Well if so[D]meone ever should be [A]pulling your [Bm]hair, then I g[G]uess you should leave them a[A]lone
And now you [D]want me to r[A]ead your m[Bm]ind and relea[G]se that ston[A]e

(stop picking and strum!)

That stone in your he[D]art where the sadness g[A]rows. You know I, [Em]I'd operate with this [Bm]knife
And cut a b[D]ig fat f**king h[A]ole, to f[Em]ill with gold and l[Bm]ight

But th[F]ere's an endl[Am]ess battle to be [Dm]won
And me[F] I ain't a ma[Am]n with an educated [Dm]mind
And soon, yo[F]u won't have the s[Am]trength to carry [Dm]on
And so yo[F]u scream [Am]about it in the n[Dm]ight

Ther[F]e's an e[Am]ndless battle to be [Dm]won
And me [F]I ain't a man with an e[Am]ducated m[Dm]ind
[F]You won't have the st[Am]rength to carry on[Dm]
F               Am                D   A   Bm   (<--Start picking from D)
So you scream about it in the night

Oh, in the night ...[D]           [A]                  [Bm]
In the night ...  [D]             [A]                    [Bm]
Oh, in the night [D]...        [A]               [Bm]                         [G]                                 [A]

(Pick slow and end...)

Hope its good enought! :)
