As recorded by Jesse Welles
(2025 release)
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
G D Am C G
[Verse 1]
D G AmInto problematical darkness
C EmOf an arcane world I rode
COn the back of a worm called Icondeath
Am DAs it had been foretold
G AmWhere the lava flowed over the plains
C EmAustere with heat and black
CA valley of the bones
AmWhere people go
DAnd don't come back
[Chorus]
GOh my god
D/F#Oh my god
AmOh my god
C G It don't come easy
[Verse 2]
D G AmI said wizard you be kind now
C EmI'm in need of some advice
CAnd talk no speak of majick blood
Am DOr good-son sacrifice
G AmAnd i begged to know if justice
C EmIs a form far-out or in
CHe said son, there is no justice
AmThere's jus what
CAnd that just is
[Chorus]
GOh my god
D/F#Oh my god
AmOh my god
C G It don't come easy
[Harmonica Solo]
G D/F# Am C G
[Verse 3]
D G AmIn the marketplace of souls
C EmI gave my only silver piece
CAnd traded it for a mania
Am D/F#Chemical urgency
G AmAnd I staggered into ergs
C EmWhere the wind blows without relent
CAnd I still don't know what livin cost
Am DBut I can tell you what I spent
[Chorus]
GOh my god
D/F#Oh my god
AmOh my god
C G It don't come easy
[Verse 4]
D/F# G AmWeren't it you who pierced the dragon
C EmWeren't it you who led us out
COf a land so damn oppressive
Am DAgainst hope and with great doubt
G AmDid we not amble out of Egypt
C EmInto wilderness so dry
CWeren't there graves enuff in Memphis
Am DThat we've been brought here to die?
[Chorus]
GOh my god
D/F#Oh my god
AmOh my god
C G It don't come easy
D/F# GOh my god
D/F#Oh my god
AmOh my god
C G God Go easy
[Outro-Harmonica Solo]
G D/F# Am C G
