Please don’t expect this tab to be perfect as it’s mostly for my own use. Where I have
G’s placed in
the verses, I believe it’s actually some type of C, but the G seems to work instead.
[Intro]
C with hammer on’s and off’s
[Verse]
C
She was raised in a house full of bruises
F G
Stained with Whiskey and blood
C
Her lips were colored like springtime red tulips
F G
And her eyes were colored like mud
F
Colored like mud
C
She ran away when she was 13
F G
Her mother followed so they could stop bleeding
C
The daughter’s father passed two years there after
F
Her mother said
G F
You’re alright with me
[Chorus]
C/G Em
Honey you’re okay, breathe
Am F
Honey you’re alright right here with me

Honey you’re okay, breathe
Am F
Honey you’re alright right here with me
[Verse]
C
The two spent their time laughing and singing
F G
‘Till winter struck everything still
C
The daughter fell broke and her mother fell ill
F G
And now she’s singing with the whippoorwills
F
The whippoorwills
[Pre-Chorus]
C/G
I saw her dancing, her face to the ground
F G
Her eyes the color of honey brown

I fell in love by the second a tear shed

Her lips of springtime tulip red

And I said
[Chorus]

My eyes are bloodshot, words hurt more than I once thought

High hopes, cut down, how can I breath when you’re not around

These roads are hollow, I can’t go back to my hometown

My heart is swallowed, I guess that you are my home now
