    D       C         G

Verse 1:
D         C         G
  In days gone past we were
D          C       G
  Tight as a smoke and burn
D         C     G
  We were as misery
D        C    G
  And company should be
D         C         G
  But now it's come to this
D         C        G
  Begging for just a kiss
D             C        G
  Don't look, just let me in
D           C         G
  It's cold out here

Chorus:
   /  /   /  /       / / / /

    G      F         D

Again,  G   F   D
Again,  G   F   D
Again   G   F   D

Verse 2:
D             C      G
  Please open up the door
D            C    G
  And let me in
D          C        G
  You probably have been
D           C    G
  Expecting me

(Chorus)

(Riff 1)

Jam over 8 times through the verse chord pattern, then three
times through the chorus chord pattern, and finally riff 1.

Verse 3:
It's been three years since I
Last saw your face
In that time I've done well
So it would seem
But we cannot escape
From what we find down deep
And I am still afraid
I pray my soul

Chorus (with different lyrics):
To keep,
To keep,
To keep

Verse 4:
So open up the door
And let me in
You probably have been
Expecting me,
Expecting me again,
Expecting me again,
Expecting me again,
Expecting me

(Chorus)

End with riff 1 and a final D.
