This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Transcribed by T-rev www.t-rev.net
Capo 1st fret
A F#m D E A D A A
D A/C#
It makes no difference where I turn
F#m /E Bm
I can't get over you and the flame still burns
D A/C#
It makes no difference night or day
F#m /E Bm Esus4
The shadow never seems to fade away
A F#m D E A D A
And the sun--- don't shine anymore
A F#m D E A D A
And the rains fall down on my door
A
Now there's no love a
Em
As true as the love
D B
That dies untold
A F#m D E A D A
But the clouds never hung so low before
D A/C#
It makes no difference how far I go
F#m /E Bm
Like a scar the hurt will always show
D A/C#
And it makes no difference who I meet
F#m /E Bm Esus4
They're just a face in the crowd on a dead-end street
A F#m D E A D A
And the sun--- don't shine anymore
A F#m D E A D A
And the rains fall down on my door
A
These old love letters
Em
Well I just can't keep
D
'Cause like the gambler says
B
Read 'em and weep
A F#m D E A D A
And the dawn don't rescue me no more
E C#m
Without your love I'm nothing at all
D Bm
Like an empty hall it's a lonely fall
E C#m
Since you've gone it's a losing battle
D Bm E
Stampeding cattle they rattle the walls
A F#m D E A D A
And the sun--- don't shine anymore
A F#m D E A D A
And the rains fall down on my door
A
Well I love you so much
Em
That it's all that I can do
D B
Just to keep myself from telling you
A F#m D E A D A
That I never felt so alone before
