Another Bruce/Baker/Moore number (from the album ‘Around the Next Dream’) 
which is highly reminiscent of a classic Cream performance. In this case, 
think ‘Crossroads’ and you’ll get the general vibe. It’s a standard 12-bar 
blues in the key of A and is so similar to the Cream track that the lyrics and
guitar solos could easily be interchanged. The song features some typically
muscular guitar work by Gary Moore (Gibson Les Paul & Marshall JTM45) with more 
than a passing nod to EC.

Tuning: standard

Verse 1


      A5            D5                      A[riff 1]
In my home of sand outside the city of gold
          D5                           D7                    A[riff 1]
Where the wind’s so burning hot but my heart remains so cold
             E5
I need to buy myself some answers
        D5                        A[riff 1]
But the truth’s already been sold


Verse 2


       A5
Well I know how to use a razor
D5                             A[riff 1]
Carve my initials in the light
       D5
Yes, I know how to use a razor
D7                             A[riff 1]
Carve my initials in the light
E5                                     D5
Sometimes in the depths of the dark, baby
      D7                A[riff 1]
I can make everything alright


Verse 3


In my home of sand outside the city of gold
Where the wind’s so burning hot but my heart remains so cold
The shelter in your eyes, I dream about it when I die
And thirst for it when I cry

Verse 4


My home of sand outside the city of gold
Where the wind’s so burning hot but my heart remains so cold
The shelter in your eyes, I dream about it when I die
And thirst for it when I cry


Verse 5


My meal of salt on that table of stone
My meal of salt on that table of stone
Your feast’s so sweet while I thirst here all alone


Verse 6


My home of sand outside the city of gold
Where the wind’s so burning hot but my heart remains so cold
I need to buy myself some aspirin
But the truth’s already been sold
