The album version follows a simple picking pattern, which should be easy enough for you

figure out. Most live versions that I have heard just strum the chords.

Note: When you play a G, hammer on the B string before going to F.

I also tend to hammer off the D string before changing from F to C

I´ll send you a letter

 From the frontline

Please send applause

 And some good advice

You were born with a compass

 A map on your table

Tell me how did you find out

 Your bearings were wrong

 Just pray for us

 pray for sunshine

 These days are cold

 and I´m missing you

 The city is no place to lose

 Ah, But I never thought

 I could choose

 It was plain from the start,

plain from the start,

 I was playing for time

 I need laughter and love

some special drug

 I need ciggarettes

 There´s killers behind us

Devils ahead

 Send protection

 I will drown in this city

 I will drown in this trench

 Built for us

 And the only thing left

 Yeah the only thing left

 Is the running

 And these clouds keep on rolling

 and I , I don´t know why

 Take this guitar out of my hands

 I surrender

 This town don´t need drunkards

 Or singers of bad poetry

 Thay need dancing and drugs and laughter

 and we don´t have them

 Just pray for us

 pray for sunshine

 These days are cold

 and I´m missing you

 This letter was meant for your eyes

 Destroy it and then

 Just go hide

 You´re the only thing left

That makes any sense

 Please don´t blow it
