The album version follows a simple picking pattern, which should be easy enough for you
figure out. Most live versions that I have heard just strum the chords.
Note: When you play a G, hammer on the B string before going to F.
I also tend to hammer off the D string before changing from F to C
I´ll send you a letter
From the frontline
Please send applause
And some good advice
You were born with a compass
A map on your table
Tell me how did you find out
Your bearings were wrong
Just pray for us
pray for sunshine
These days are cold
and I´m missing you
The city is no place to lose
Ah, But I never thought
I could choose
It was plain from the start,
plain from the start,
I was playing for time
I need laughter and love
some special drug
I need ciggarettes
There´s killers behind us
Devils ahead
Send protection
I will drown in this city
I will drown in this trench
Built for us
And the only thing left
Yeah the only thing left
Is the running
And these clouds keep on rolling
and I , I don´t know why
Take this guitar out of my hands
I surrender
This town don´t need drunkards
Or singers of bad poetry
Thay need dancing and drugs and laughter
and we don´t have them
Just pray for us
pray for sunshine
These days are cold
and I´m missing you
This letter was meant for your eyes
Destroy it and then
Just go hide
You´re the only thing left
That makes any sense
Please don´t blow it
