WALKER'S WOODS
As recorded by Ed Bruce
(From the 2024 Album IF I COULD JUST GO HOME)
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
D E A
[Verse 1]
A E A
I stole her from Emmett Fry, and now what's done is done
C# D A E7
Like any man I'm afraid to die, but I'm hurt too bad to run
D C# D A
I ran with her to Walker's Woods with him close on my heels;
D A E A
I knew he'd kill to win her back, cause I know just how he feels
[Chorus]
E
Oh, the sun never shines in Walker's Woods;
C# D C#
I doubt if it would want to come in even if it could
D A C# D
'Cause the gators and the cottonmouths, the sand that pulls you down
E A
Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
[Verse 2]
A E A
By the quicksand over there my dream came to an end:
C# D A E7
She said it was a big mistake, that she'd return to him
D C# D A
So I gave her to the hungry sands, now all I loved is dead--
D A E A
And all that's left is the scarlet rag that she wore upon her head
[Chorus]
E
Oh, the sun never shines in Walker's Woods;
C# D C#
I doubt if it would want to come in even if it could
D A C# D
'Cause the gators and the cottonmouths, the sand that pulls you down
E A
Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
[Interlude]
D E7 A F
[Verse 3]
A# F A#
I've no regrets; I loved her; now in five more minutes I'll be free--
D D# A# F
I might have made it if that cottonmouth hadn't made his strike at me
D# D D# A#
And I laughed a laugh when I think how mad old Emmett's going to be
D# A#
When he finds me dead and he never got to take a shot at me
[Out-Chorus]
F
Oh, the sun never shines in Walker's Woods;
D D# D7
I doubt if it would want to come in even if it could
D# A# D D#
'Cause the gators and the cottonmouths and the sand that pulls you down
F A#
Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
F A#
Makes Walker's Woods a haven for the damned
