[Intro]
F#
 
[Verses]
B
Sold my cold knot
G#m     F#
A heavy stone
B                 G#m           F#
Sold my red horse for a venture home
 
To vanish on the bow -
         E
Settling slow
 
                          G#m
Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
(Or so the story goes)
E
Color the era
             G#m
Film it's historical
 
B
My mile could not
G#m      F#
Pump the plumb
B            G#m           F#
In my arbor 'till my ardor trumped
 
every inner inertia
     E
Lump sum
 
All at once
                  G#m
Rushing from the sub-pump
 
(Or so the story goes)
E
Balance we won't know
                         G#m
We will see when it gets warm

Just play it a full step down (i.e. B becomes A) and it sounds just fine. Thanks, Bio.

sorry, but it must be tuned wrong, or you must have an alternate recording. chords are not correct.
