Tuning: (EADGCE) tune the B to a C to avoid some tricky stretches and make it a
lot easier, if you don’t want to retune then add 1 to all the B string notes.
this is a slightly simplified version so you can play it with one guitar instead
of multiple as in the recording.

Intro: main riff x1
Verse 1: (main riff x2)
one spur in the fire, burning
now we're clearing the embers away
there are many ways this way
so I tell you like you're meant to
and you're quick to guess my choice

Verse 2: (Main riff x1)
she said you're stirring
tossing, turning
just like you were in the night
I am sure your choice is right
main riff x1
Verse 3: (main riff x2)
I've always been a coward
been a coward to this day
there are many ways this way
and your fortune taken from you
by men that always say
there are many ways this way
