Intro: Em Dm C7 B7 Em Dm C7 B7 Em C7 B7 Em [Verso 1] Em7 Am7 B7 Em The tires sang low on melting tar, Em7 Am7 B7 Em Em7 Jackson fading in the rearview far. Am7 D7 G7 Sweat on my neck, guitar by my side, C Sun sinking slow but the heat Gbm Em wouldnt hide just hung there, wild and wide. [Verso 2] Em The river whispered, dont stay too long, Am Em But New Orleans called with a brass-band song. Am Em Where the blues kicks off its dusty shoes in the street, Am Gm And jazz picks it up saying, come on, feel the beat. Em The RVs resting, engine gone quiet and still, Am Em But my mind keeps rolling over every hill. C Em Humidity thick, but theres fire in my hand, Am C Every note sticking like it belongs to this land. Solo: A Em Gm C Em G C Am D [Verso 3] G Em In a smoky bar where time slips away, Am Em A trumpet whispers what words couldnt say. C Em The piano taps soft like a heart in the night, Am Gbm Every note landing just right, just right. Solo: Em C Em Em C Am Glasses breathe slow, ice clinks like rain, Em D A sax wraps the silence in a velvet chain. C Gbm Close together, still worlds apart, C The music plays what we hide in the heart. Outro: Em C Em C Em C Em C Em C Em
