Another tough one on an acoustic by itself. To play this with standard tuning the chord pattern for the verses and before the courses
is more or less C the whole time while the fiddle and bass run their lines then a couple of quick strums of F.
INTRO:
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
Just the things that you do
F
In this garden
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
Just the things that you do
F
In this garden
VERSE I:
C
I never thought, I'd see the day
F
When you became what you've become
C
It's easy now just to look away
F
And leave your conscience on the run
C
Spend so much time not looking for an answer
F
But someone else's to blame
C
As long as you don't take the drop
F
To you it's all the same
C C C C F
CHORUS:
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
Just the things that you do
F
In this garden
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
Just the things that you do
F
In this garden
VERSE II:
C
Sometimes, I like to get away
F
Chase a thought and fly
C
The people around here will never change
F
They're too scared to look outside
C
Community spirit, neighborhood watch
F
Curtains twitching all the time
C
Got to have a look at what next door's got
F
'Cos your credit's on the line
N/C
CHORUS:
Blood, sweat and tears
Really don't matter
Just the things that you do
In this garden
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
Just the things that you do
F
In this garden
C C C C F
C C C C F
C C C C F
C C C C F
VERSE III:
C
Don't waste your time with your visions of the future
F
And your party line
C
'Cos your eyes have blinded to the people in the gutter
F
Who are fighting to survive
C
When I was out, I saw a fox
F
He was fighting for his life
C
His eyes were wide but his mind was shut
F
To the red coat bugle cries
C
When he reached his home his path was blocked
F
By some sportsman's clever guise
C F
If this is as far as your culture's got then I deny it
C
The crackdown starts the law decends
F
The nightmare starts again
C
Though they tighten the security net
F
There's always one who gets away
CHORUS/OUTRO:
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
Just the things that you do
F
In this garden
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
Just the things that you do
F
In this garden
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
Just the things that you do
F
In this garden
C
Blood, sweat and tears
F
Really don't matter
Bb
F
Repeat to end ...
