Slaid Cleaves - November Skies






INTRO: G

                             C                     D
Across the road, down at the bottom of the field
                                 G                  C G
There's a rusty tractor, used to read ?John Deere?
                                 C                 D
It's been there since my daddy's daddy was a boy
                                            G                   C G
The engine quit and there she sits, like an old forgotten toy

                          C                    D
Further on down where the white birches grow
                                G                        C G
Grandpa used to take me for his favourite evening show
                              C                             D
He said he liked to watch the leaves fall from the trees
                                       G     Am
I kinda think he just liked being with me


BRIDGE:
                     C                       G                Am
I used to think that time was something that never changed
                     C               G      Am
I used to think that life was always easy
                C                  G            Am
Now I know that seasons change and so must I
                  D             G        C
And I've grown to love November skies


CHORUS:
         D      G     ~       Em   C
November skies, smile down on me
                 D                  G      C
Let the winds of change come set me free
         D             G       ~     Em
November skies, try to ease my tired mind
      C                     D                 G
But I know that the winter winds aren't far behind


                          C                       D
I used to tag along while Grandpa did his chores
                                     G                        C G
I still remember wrestling with that squeaky old barn door
                        C                    D
Seems I'd always end up getting in his way
                                          G
He'd just shake his head and smile and he always let me stay


BRIDGE:
                     C                       G                Am
I used to think that time was something that never changed
                     C               G      Am
I used to think that life was always easy
                C                  G            Am
Now I know that seasons change and so must I
                  D             G        C
And I've grown to love November skies


CHORUS:
         D      G     ~       Em   C
November skies, smile down on me
                 D                  G      C
Let the winds of change come set me free
         D             G       ~     Em
November skies, try to ease my tired mind
      C                     D                 G   ~ Em
But I know that the winter winds aren't far behind
       C                     D                 G    C  G
