Verse:
EmAmEmAm
In the summer that i was baptized,
EmAmAmEm
my father held me to his side.
EmAmEmAm
as they put me to the water,
EmAmAmEm
he said how on that day i cried
Bridge:
Am
We were prisoners of love,
C
a love in chains,
Am
He was standing in the door,
C
I was standing in the rain,
AmB7
with the same hot blood burning in our veins,
Chorus:
Em
Adam raised a Cain
Adam raised a Cain
DEm
Adam raised a Cain
DEm
Adam raised a Cain
Verse:
All of the old faces,
ask you why you're back.
they fit you with position,
and the keys to your daddy's cadillac
Bridge:
in the darkness of your room
your mother calls you by your true name,
you remember the faces,
the places the names,
you know its never over,
its relentless as the rain,
Chorus
Intense solo (coming Soon)
Verse:
in the bible Cain slew Able,
And east of Eden Momma he was cast,
you're born into this life paying,
for the sins of someone elses past
Bridge:
daddy worked his whole life,
for nothing but the pain,
now he walkes these empty rooms,
looking for something to blame,
you inherit the sins,
you inherit the pain
Chorus
Then repeat and fade.
Okay thats most of it, but ther are some cool licks in the background in places, so here
are, all tabbed out
