Down over the window

      F7F7      Fo      F7F7

I keep listening for footsteps,
DmDm            Bb majorBb  A7A7
But I ain't ever hearing any
DmDm             A7A7
From the boat, I fish for bullheads

I catch a lot, sometimes too many

A augmentedA squall is setting in.

To get into any kind of wind.

Well, the old men 'round here sometimes they get on
Bb majorBb       Eb7Eb7    Bb majorBb
bad terms with the younger men,
F7F7        Fo      F7F7
Old, young - age don't carry weight
Bb majorBb       EbmEbm    Bb majorBb
It doesn't matter in the end

Verse 5:
F7F7             Fo          F7F7
One of the bosses' hangers-on sometimes comes to call
Bb majorBb      Eb7Eb7    Bb majorBb
At times you least expect,
F7F7            Fo             F7F7
Tryin' to bully you, strong-arm you, inspire you with fear.
Bb majorBb      EbmEbm    Bb majorBb  A7A7
It has the opposite effect

DmDm                    A7A7
There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
DmDm         Bb majorBb  A7A7
The old one - long gone.
DmDm            A7A7
Timber, two foot six across,
DmDm      C/EC/E    FF  Fo
Burns with the bark still on.

F7F7    Fo   F7F7
They say times are hard,

If you don't believe it you can follow your nose.
F7F7        Fo         F7F7
It don't bother me, times are hard everywhere,
Bb majorBb        EbmEbm      Bb majorBb
We will just have to see how it goes.

Verse 7:
F7F7        Fo       F7F7
My old man he's like some feudal lord,
Bb majorBb     Eb7Eb7    Bb majorBb
Got more lives than a cat.
F7F7            Fo           F7F7
I've never seen him quarrel with my mother even once.
Bb majorBb       EbmEbm       Bb majorBb
Things come alive or they fall flat.

Verse 8:
F7F7       Fo     F7F7
You can smell the pine wood burnin'
Bb majorBb        Eb7Eb7    Bb majorBb
You can hear the school-bell ring.
F7F7        Fo         F7F7
Got to get up near the teacher, if you can
Bb majorBb       EbmEbm    Bb majorBb  A7A7
If you wanna learn anything.

Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion
DmDm                       Bb majorBb  A7A7
It don't give you an appearance of a youthful touch."
DmDm                    A7A7
Juliet said back to Romeo, "Why don't you just shove off
DmDm     C/EC/E    FF  Fo
If it bothers you so much."

Verse 9:
F7F7           Fo       F7F7
They all got out of here any way they could -
Bb majorBb       Eb7Eb7    Bb majorBb
Cold rain can give you the shivers.
F7F7           Fo           F7F7
They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee,
Bb majorBb       EbmEbm     Bb majorBb
All the rest of them rebel rivers.

[Verse 10:
F7F7               Fo         F7F7
If you ever try to interfere with me, or cross my path again,
Bb majorBb          Eb7Eb7    Bb majorBb
You do so at the peril of your own life.
F7F7        Fo          F7F7
I'm not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound,
Bb majorBb        EbmEbm      Bb majorBb
I've seen enough heartache and strife.

Verse 11:
F7F7      Fo      F7F7
My grandfather was a duck trapper
Bb majorBb          Eb7Eb7      Bb majorBb
He could do it with just dragnets and ropes
F7F7           Fo           F7F7
My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth,
Bb majorBb         EbmEbm         Bb majorBb  A7A7
I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes.

Bridge 4:
DmDm            A7A7
I had 'em once though I suppose
DmDm
To go along with all the ring dancing,
              Bb majorBb      A7A7
Christmas Carols on all the Christmas Eves
DmDm            A7A7
I left all my dreams and hopes
DmDm      C/EC/E    FF  Fo
Buried under tobacco leaves

Verse 12:
F7F7        Fo       F7F7
Not always easy kicking someone out,
Bb majorBb         Eb7Eb7        Bb majorBb
Got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task.
F7F7           Fo         F7F7
Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
Bb majorBb          EbmEbm      Bb majorBb
And, tears or not, it's too much to ask.
