Intro: C  G/C  F  G (2x)
 


        C            F 
You can tell me your troubles 
     G          C 
I'll listen for free 
   C        F              G 
My regulars trust me, it seems 
        C            F 
You can come and see Uncle 
   G               C 
To get through the week 
           F                    G 
Leave your pledges with me to redeem 


     C               F 
Some folk sell their bodies 
    G            C 
For ten bob a go 
      C        F                  G 
Politicians go pawning their souls 
      C            F 
Which doesn't make me 
         G              C    F 
Look too bad, don't you know me 
                      G 
With my heart full of holes 


       Dm         Asus4/Db 
All my yesterdays broken 
  F             Asus4/Db   Dm 
A watch with no face 
    F          Dm/B 
All battered and old 
Dm          Asus4/Db 
Bits of the movement 
F         Dm/B     Bb 
All over the place 
                    G 
And a heart full of holes 

                C     G/C 
A heart full of holes 
                F     G 
A heart full of holes 
                C     G/C 
A heart full of holes 
                F     G 
A heart full of holes 


      C            F 
Brass knuckles and banjos 
    G          C 
Are out on the town 
At the knees-up 
   F                G 
In Teddy Boys' Row 
    C              F 
The gold block and tackle 
          G           C 
Tells the time upside down 
F                           G 
Rock n' roll, well, I don't know 


Dm            Asus4/Db 
Dead people's wedding gifts 
F            Asus4/Db 
Walk out the door 
  Dm       F             Dm/B 
A clarinet squeals to be free 
  Dm       Asus4/Db 
Accordions hop 
           F              Dm/B 
From the shelves to the floor 
        Bb                     G 
Start playing their polkas to me 


Dm  F  G  Dm  G  F  G 
Dm  F  G  Dm  G  F  G 


          C          F 
There's a ringing of bells 
  G            C 
A dunderhead's curse 
C           F               G 
Fingers are pointing at you 
        C            F 
And you take work in hell 
       G             C 
And be glad it's not worse 
    F                          G 
And you get to the back of the queue 


Dm            Asus4/Db 
Handcuffs and hunting knives 
F            Asus4/Db 
Clang on the bars 
Dm          F             Dm/B 
Air pistols shoot out the lights 
       Dm            Asus4/Db 
I've a whole Wailing Wall 
   F          Dm/B 
Of electric guitars 
        Bb                 G 
Could shatter the windows 
Down Brick Lane tonight 


   C         F 
If one of us dies, love 
  G            C 
I think I'll retire 
       C           F               G 
See my boys and my beautiful girls 
  C          F 
A Garden of Eden 
   G               C 
No gates or barbed wire 
    F                          G 
Who knows, maybe gates made of pearls 

      C           F 
Well, if we go to heaven 
    G           C 
And some say we don't 
    C             F            G 
But if there's a reckoning day 
C                F 
Please God, I'll see you 
    G       C 
And maybe I won't 
       F                       G 
I've a bag packed to go either way 


C  G/C  F  G 
C  G/C  F  G 


C               F 
Redeeming your pledge, dear 
     G           C 
I'll keep it for you 
     C            F           G 
It's not going to go anywhere 
         C          F 
But your soul, your soul 
        G          C 
That is not what I do 
        F                  G 
There's not a lot I can do there 


     Dm        Asus4/Db  F 
I remember the officer's watch 
      Asus4/Db 
In my hand 
    Dm         F         Dm/B 
"Repair it or die" I was told 
        Dm       Asus4/Db 
It's a wonder to me 
        F           Dm/B 
I still don't understand 
      Bb                  G 
Why I ever survived to be old 
                      C    G/C 
With a heart full of holes 
                F    G 
A heart full of holes 
                C     G/C 
A heart full of holes 
                F    G 
A heart full of holes 
                C     G/C 
A heart full of holes 
                F    G 
A heart full of holes 
                C     G/C 
A heart full of holes 
                F    G 
A heart full of holes
