Waxwings
View chords used in this chart
verse 1
A G D A
The sun on the maples like indelible stain
G D A
Happy red pine varmints must be raising cain
G D A
And here out west the blazes sketch a violent domain
G D A
Maybe them waxwings will come back again
G D A
From a lonely burnt out shanty in the morning, I can tell
G D A
The fog is lifting off the chaparral
G D A
Where the solitary lion and the toyon dwell
G D A
Those channel linings cast a haunting spell
[Refrão]
D A C G
Like a winter's freeze or a vernal breeze that blows forevermore
Bb F C
Friends and neighbors always at your door
D A C G
And just like sandy shorelines that vanish in a storm
Bb C D
They don't come around here anymore

verse 2
A G D A
Now the annual migrations are as solid as your word
G D A
Too many promises becomes absurd
G D A
But my faith may be forever shattered if not burned
G D A
Just one more visit from that spectacle bird
[Refrão]
D A C G
Like a winter's freeze or a vernal breeze that blows forevermore
Bb F C
Friends and neighbors always at your door
D A C G
And just like sandy shorelines that vanish in a storm
Bb F C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb F C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb F C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb F C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb F C
They don't come around here anymore

They don't come around here anymore

They don't come around here anymore
