[Bm]I never know what kind of day it is
[G]on my battle[A]field of i[Bm]deals
[Bm]But the way she touches and the way it feels
[G]must be j[A]ust how it h[Bm]eals
[A]But it's got a little better since I let her sun[Bm]dance
Intro
I never know what time of year it is
living on top of the fire
But the robin outside has to hunt and hide
in the cold frosty shire
[A]Ah but he knows just what goes in between his cold toes and his warm[Bm] ears
[A]And he's got no disguise in his eyes for his love as she [Bm]nears
[Em] [D/F#] [D]
Am (5th fret)
C/Csus4 (3rd fret)
[G] [Am] [Em]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now comes instrumental part and YOU TAKE OFF THE CAPO ! it ends with D/Dsus4 with NO CAPO.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D\Dsus4 Em
He spreads her a shelter
She takes the tall skies
As they helter skelter
Along the same sighs
[Am]She wakes [Em]my days[G] with a [G/F#]glad [Em]face
She fakes and says I'm a hard case
She makes and plays like a bad ace
Carrying my days into scarred space
[Am]And she knows me [Em]well
[Am]Ah but what the hell
[Em]Only [Am]time can [Em]tell, whe[G]re[G/F#] we're going[Em] to
[D/Dsus4]Me and my [Em]woman
Me and my little woman
[Am]And the Lord [Em]speaks out and the [G]pigp[G/F#]ens fa[Em]wn
The sword slides out and the nations mourn
The hoard strides out and the chposen spawn
The devil rides out and the heavens yawn
[Am]And he knows me [Em]well
[Am]Ah but what the hell
[Em]Only [Am]time can t[Em]ell, whe[G]re w[G/F#]e're going[Em] to
[D/Dsus4]Me and my [Em]woman
Me and my little woman
[Asus2]
[A]What a lovely day
[D]What a day to play at liv[A]ing
What a mess we make
[D]What a trust we break
Not [A]giving our wings to our [D]children
O how we [A]fail them
O how we [E]nail them
Am (5th fret)
Sunset my colour
[Em]And [D]king is my n[A]ame
[Am]Darkness my lover
[Em]And [D]we live in s[A]hame
[D/Dsus4]Too far aw[A]ay
From the light of the day
And so [E]near, [D]and so h[E]ere
[Am]Can i break through the [Em]silence that [D]has taken my [Em]place
On the plains of the morning that i just could not face
[Em]Asking you these questions
telling you these lies
Enveloping directions
Developing disguise
Open to suggestions
But I'm[D/Dsus4] closed to all my[Em] eyes
[G]Dead[G/F#] on a[Em]rrival, [G]right [G/F#]where I [Em]stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
[Em]Space is just an ashtray
Flesh is my best wheel
The atmosphere's my highway
And the landscape's my next meal
I need my own Good Friday
And I'm [D/Dsus4]trying my best to fix th[Em]e deal
[G]Dead[G/F#] on a[Em]rrival, [G]right [G/F#]where I [Em]stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
[Em]I am the new crowned landlord
Of all beneath my star
Queueing up for doomsday
In my homesick motor car
Born before my mother
[D/Dsus4]Died before my [Em]Pa
[G]Dead[G/F#] on a[Em]rrival, [G]right [G/F#]where I [Em]stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
[Am]And the cuc[Em]koo she moves through the [G]dawn[G/F#] fanf[Em]are
The dew leaves the rooves in the magic air
I feel a finger running through my nightmares lair
I feel most together with my nowhere stare
[Am]and you know me [Em]well
[Am]Ah but what the hell
[Em]Only [Am]time can t[Em]ell, [G] w[G/F#]here I'm goi[Em]ng to
[D/Dsus4]Me and my [Em]woman
Me and my little woman
Me and my woman
Me and my little woman

uff, I made it. You can of course play it in a standard tuning with no capo,
but then you'd have to play the most of the song on very uncomfortable chords.
Anyway, great song :)
