Capo 4
Verse 1:
Am Dm (Dsus D7)
When it's cold and you're bored
G Em
From counting the small cars on 94
Am Dm (Dsus D7)
When you dream you're back home
G Em
With the lakes, I don't trust you to walk alone
Am Dm (Dsus D7)
Hollow trees, talk of hand
G Em
All the neckties are toasting with empty cans
Am Dm (Dsus D7)
And you know why she's gone
G Em
Like the clothes in the river drifting on
[Refrão]
Dm G C
Slide down south because once in awhile you're covered in sleaze
Dm G C E
You're like smoke falls out her red brow
Interlude: Am Dm (Dsus D7) G Em (2x)
Verse 2: use verse 1 chords
Well she left you the hose
The tracks in the backyards, December's snow
But those sad souvenirs
They end at the fenceline and disappear
Why'd you follow her there?
The walk is a deaf ear, the winter prayers
There's no night, there's no day
With only hope in your pocket and hell to pay
Slide it down south, when once in awhile you're covered in sleaze
You're like smoke falls out her red brow
Outro: use interlude chords, end on: Am
