Wild Country chords by Shawn Colvin

Wild Country - Shawn Colvin

CAPO 4 (for album key, capo 2 for her live performance)

She plays one verse instrumentally as an intro. The EM9(no5) is just a 'C' shape in the
third fret. The G6add9-->Am is just the open frets then a hammer on to the Am.

Em9(no5)          C             G
Breakin rocks all day on the avenue
Em9(no5)               C              G
It’s hard to unearth anything that's true
Em7                               G6add9 ---> Am
Soon I’m gonna drop this jack and run
Em9(no5)           C             G
Returning to the wild where I’m from
There’s miles of stone jackhammer in my hand
There’s compromises I can’t comprehend
Soon I’m gonna lose these rags and run
Returning to the wild where I’m from

Between the bricks you see the children play
The callouses get harder day by day
Tween the cracks you’ll notice where I’ve gone
Returning to the wild where I belong
Soon I’m gonna lose these rags and run
