These chords follow the recorded version on the "Roll The Bones" album with the
Capo on 5th fr (though live versions have the capo elsewhere).
Live, sometimes he throws a G between the F & c in the verse.
And he also uses an Am E F C progression to get back to the C from the F in the
Instrumental transitions.
...seriously everytime you play it, its a complete f'n roll of the dice...
...love this song...
