Errol's Song
Adam Carroll


 D MajorD           G+G
Mr. Errol he lives on the banks of Lake Arthur
      D MajorD
Where your windshield gets foggy, where your back roads
 A augmentedA
unwind
    D MajorD              G+G
It’s a long way from Shreveport, not too far from Gueydan
     D MajorD           A augmentedA    D MajorD
And it’s close to the home that I left behind
     D MajorD           A augmentedA    D MajorD
Yah it’s close to the home that I left behind

  D MajorD            G+G
Mr. Errol’s a father, he’s a farmer, he’s a hunter
    D MajorD                    A augmentedA
And he talks to the ducks and the geese in the blind
     D MajorD             G+G
He works hard for the lives that he helps to make better
    D MajorD               A augmentedA     D MajorD
And he lives by the graveyard of the rusted combines

  G+G            D MajorD
And he held my hand when my boots got too heavy
     G+G                D MajorD    A augmentedA
With the mud from the rice fields coming to my behind
  D MajorD             G+G      D MajorD
We set out the decoys in the dark on the levy
    D MajorD                  A augmentedA     D MajorD
And we walked through the graveyard of the rusted combines

    D MajorD             G+G
There’s coffee and biscuits on the stove in the kitchen
     D MajorD                      A augmentedA
There’s a crack in the ceiling and a screened in front door
      D MajorD              G+G
And as the fog starts to settle on the banks of Lake Arthur
   D MajorD                A augmentedA      D MajorD
I can still taste the whiskey from the night just before
     D MajorD              A augmentedA      D MajorD
It’s the Crown Royal whiskey from the night just before

     G+G         D MajorD
And it’s hard to get up at five in the morning
     G+G                D MajorD     A augmentedA
Put your guns, put your shells, put your wine in a sack
    D MajorD            G+G
We look like some militia in our boots and our camo
    D MajorD             A augmentedA      D MajorD
With a bird dog named Milo, he’s asleep in the back

G+G            D MajorD
He held my hand when my boots got too heavy
     G+G                D MajorD    A augmentedA
With the mud from the rice fields coming to my behind
  D MajorD             G+G      D MajorD
We set out the decoys in the dark on the levy
    D MajorD                  A augmentedA     D MajorD
And we walked through the graveyard of the rusted combines

  D MajorD          G+G
The combine’s a monster, combine’s a saviour
    D MajorD                    A augmentedA
Looking down at the blades I can see heaven and hell
   D MajorD              G+G
Cold steel cut the rice crops for acres and acres
   D MajorD           A augmentedA    D MajorD
Filled how many barrels? Man I cannot tell
   D MajorD           A augmentedA    D MajorD
Filled how many dryers? Man I cannot tell

   D MajorD              G+G
From the banks of Lake Arthur to the Mermitah River
   D MajorD                   A augmentedA
There’s water as far as your good eyes can see
    D MajorD            G+G
At the Lake Arthur bar all the old men get rowdy
     D MajorD              A augmentedA     D MajorD
They got bottles of whiskey that are older than me

G+G            D MajorD
He held my hand when my boots got too heavy
     G+G                D MajorD    A augmentedA
With the mud from the rice fields coming to my behind
  D MajorD             G+G      D MajorD
We set out the decoys in the dark on the levy
    D MajorD                  A augmentedA     D MajorD
And we walked through the graveyard of the rusted combines

D MajorD           G+G
Sometimes I dream of a girl in a pickup
     D MajorD                A augmentedA
With her window rolled down and her radio on
    D MajorD             G+G
And you look at the cypress on the Highway 190
    D MajorD           A augmentedA     D MajorD
And you give her away and you sing Jole Blon
    D MajorD           A augmentedA     D MajorD
And you give her away and you sing Jole Blon

    D MajorD            G+G
And Mr. Errol’s a good friend he never a stranger
    D MajorD                    A augmentedA
When I come back it seems like I’ve always been here
     D MajorD            G+G
There’s a sign in his kitchen it’s written in French
    D MajorD             A augmentedA     D MajorD
“If you run out of Schlitz, you’ve run out of beer”

G+G            D MajorD
He held my hand when my boots got too heavy
     G+G                D MajorD    A augmentedA
With the mud from the rice fields coming to my behind
  D MajorD             G+G      D MajorD
We set out the decoys in the dark on the levy
    D MajorD                  A augmentedA     D MajorD
