Song

Not an acoustic song, but pretty easily adapted, with a simple riff and only four(ish) chords:

[Intro] [Riff]

e|------1p0-------------------|
B|----------3-1---------------|
G|---------------2----0-------|
D|--0-0------------3-----2----|
A|-------------------------3--|
E|----------------------------|

Verse 1

I need your confidence

Need to know you're miiine

When it gets right down to the killing time

Verse 2

I know your heart is bad

But it's all I've ever had

We can live our lives on this righteous crime

Verse 3

I got kicked when I was down

And a sailor took my girl to town

Then she licked my wounds with the sea dog's salt

I drank a half a bottle of Jack

I swore I'd never take you back

By the bottle's end I was on that phone

Bridge

What you call compromise I don't understand

Chorus

How do you walk away

How do you walk away?

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?

How do you walk away?

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?

She had done you wrong

[Riff] x4

e|------1p0-------------------|
B|----------3-1---------------|
G|---------------2----0-------|
D|--0-0------------3-----2----|
A|-------------------------3--|
E|----------------------------|

Verse 4

I need your confidence

Need to know you're miiine

When it gets right down to the killing time

Verse 5

I know your heart is bad

But it's all I've ever had

We can live our lives on this righteous crime

Chorus

How do you walk away?

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?

Now, now just try and walk away

You just can't walk away

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong

She had done you wrong

Solo

Chorus

How do you walk away?

No, you just can't walk away

Walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong

She had done you wrong

Outro

N.C.

I need your confidence

N.C.

Need to know you're mine

N.C.

When it gets right down to the killing time

The only bit I'm not sure about is the second line in the bridge. If anyone can clarify that, it'd be greatly

appreciated

If it helps, I prefer to play the song with the capo on 5, using the following chord shapes and riff:

e|----------------------------|
B|------1p0-------------------|
G|----------2-0---------------|
D|---------------2----0-------|
A|--0-0------------3-----2----|
E|-------------------------3--|

Have fun!
