Miguel says:
These are basic chords for playing this song but they sound good enough.
On the record the acoustic guitar plays other shapes from these chords at
the high frets and the solo guitar sounds it's like "out of tune".

Intro:
A -- Bm7 -- E -- A
Verse 1:
------ A ----------------
We are tirelessly talking
--- Bm7 ---------------
And rushing and walking
--- E ----------------------- A --
And digging the graves of our sins
------ A --------------
Oh, we must dig so deep
------------ Bm7 ---------------
That there's something for keeps
--- E ---------------------- A --
But that's where my story be-gins
--------- A -----------------
I've been drumming my fingers
--- Bm7 ----------------
And bumming with singers
----- E -------------------- A --
Who'd sung with a watch at a wake
-------- A ------------------
And they blamed rock 'n' roll
------- Bm7 ---------------
For the sleep in their soul
-------- F#m7 --------- E -------- A ---
And they swore they had nothing to shake
Chorus:
E ---------- A ----
Oh, Jesus in heaven
D ------- F#m7 -- Cdim
What's be-come of me?
E -------------- A ------
Oh, shake it and break it
D ----- E ----- A --
Set the killing free
Verse 2:
-------- A --------------
When the money gets short
---- Bm7 ------------
I am holding the fort
-------- E ---------------------- A --
Like I'm smiling with smoke in my eyes
------- A -----------
So swim over the road
----- Bm7 --------
To my humble abode
--------- E --------------------- A ---
With your lips like a sucking sur-prise
--------- A ----------
If it's a hassle to do
----- Bm7 ----------
Get a ticket for two
--------- E ------------------- A ---
And we'll reach for tomorrow to-night
------- A --------------
When we hit font en blue
-------- Bm7 ----------
Then our ticket for two
---- F#m7 ------ E ---------- A ---
Is a pass to the place of the night
Chorus:
E ---------- A ----
Oh, Jesus in heaven
D ------- F#m7 -- Cdim
What's be-come of me?
E -------------- A ------
Oh, shake it and break it
D ----- E ----- A --
Set the killing free
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE:
A -- Bm7 -- E -- A (x4)
Verse 3:
------ A --------------
Hey, I need the address
------ Bm7 -----------
Of the house of caress
------- E -------------------- A --
'Cos my side of the bargain is bust
-------- A -------------
It won't come on a plate
------- Bm7 ------------
Of fine silver from fate
------- E ---------------------- A --
So I'll chase it with wonder and lust
------- A ----------------
Since I signed for no rest
-------- Bm7 -----------
I'll sub-mit to the test
---- E ------------------- A --
Of a body marked suffering slim
-------- A -----------
And I've torn it apart
------- Bm7 ------------
From my head to my heart
------- F#m7 ------ E --------- A --
And I'm left with a whore and a hymn
Chorus:
E ---------- A ----
Oh, Jesus in heaven
D ------- F#m7 -- Cdim
What's be-come of me?
E -------------- A ------
Oh, shake it and break it
D ----- E ----- A --
Set the killing free
