The Blind Leaving The Blind Mvt 1 - Part 2 keyboard

The Blind Leaving The Blind Mvt 1 - Part 2

• A

This is Part 2 of the first movement aka "Red Handed"

The chords written are the actual chords being played, but it's easiest 
to play it like Chris Eldridge does it with a capo on the second fret, 
1 step lower (starting in the key of G instead of A). 
Just transpose it down 2 half steps and capo 2. 
This is highly simplified but it sounds decent just playing it on an acoustic guitar. 

Intro

A A D E

D                   A
The sweet young man
D                                       E                Bm
goes walking down the street wiping blood off his hands
                                  B             E
and it doesn't look good but he does what he can
D               A
to erase the signs
D                       A          E            Bm
of the nightmare he faced at the scene of the crime
D               F#m     E
she snuck up behind him
A       D             F#m       B7
as he knelt by her victim
E                       E       G#sus   B
whispered "I knew you'd come;
        E                 E   G#sus   B
But there's nothing to be done,
        A               E         F#  G#sus  G#
And if I was you, I'd run.
C#m             D#      C#m             D#
'Cause no one cares about what you felt
E
when they see any signs of guilt.
C#m             D#      C#m     D#
you kissed its face; you held its hand;
E6                                       B
you always were a sweet young man"

so he hires a car to take him to the fountain at Balboa Park
D#m                   D            F#           Bm
