Song: Right Arm

Tabbed by: William Still
Another great song off a great album. Not sure about the lyrics in some places (or the chords). Listen for the strum pattern on the Gsus4/G.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please email tips at ckbstill(at)mindspring(dot)com. Thanks!
Intro
Gsus4/G C D
Gsus4/G
G C
Scratch my number and my name
D Gsus4/G
In the phone booth where we last came
Em C
Call your family, send out for money
D
For co-caine
Gsus4/G C
We got high, I got mean
D Gsus4/G
You got scared, so you got clean
Em C
You moved out to the other side of town
D
From me
Em
God damn the road
D
God damn the storm
Em D
God damn these tattoos on my right arm
Em
On my right arm
Em
Gsus4/G C
The autumn leaves fill with gold,
D Gsus4/G
Too heavy for the trees to hold.
Em C
One thing I know, is winter’s approaching
D
It’s getting cold
D
Gsus4/G C
But my eyes are empty shotgun shells
D Gsus4/G
As I staggered to the river yelling,
Em
“Oh my god!
C D
The sorrow weighs in me like a sleeping child.”
Em
So I got fucked up
D
Stole a car
Em D
Where I kissed you between the bars
C D
And I remember the sound of my
Gsus4/G Em
teeth hitting the ground
C D
I spit perfect blood red stars from my
Gsus4/G
mouth.
(Break – Solo
Gsus4/G C D Gsus4/G
Em C D)
Em D
Whoa
Em D
Whoa, oh
C D
And I chased you down the street
Gsus4/G Em
I begged you not to leave
C D
But you turned your head from me
Gsus4/G Em
You pretended not to see
C D
As I punched the door of your Greyhound
Gsus4/G Gsus4/G
As you were leaving
C
That’s how I broke my arm
Gsus4/G
That’s how I broke my arm
C
That’s how I broke your heart
Gsus4/G
That’s how I broke your heart
(end on G)
Enjoy!
