Des Moines chords by Jeffrey Foucault

Jeffrey Foucault - Des Moines




[VERSE 1:]
                    D
That night in Des Moines
                Em7
Goner'd streets dying
       G
Sunset buildings
              D
Cut with shade

We sent our smoke
               Em7
Up through the streetlights
            G
We sent our prayers out
                 D
Through an old P.A.
                  Em7
That night in Des Moines
                  D
That night in Des Moines

[VERSE 2:]

That night in Des Moines
             Em7
Too late for supper
         G
Yeah, we sat at the bar
                   D
And we drank three beers

And we watched the house
                Em7
Filling up with no one
      G
But god was listening
                     D
And he cupped his ear
                  Em7
That night in Des Moines
                  D
That night in Des Moines


[INSTRUMENTAL:] D         Em7    G    D         Em7    G    D


[VERSE 3:]

That night in Des Moines
                     Em7
Picked you up at the airport
                        G
I threw your rig in the back seat
                 D
And I shook your hand

And the heat from the asphalt
                  Em7
It was liquid and dancing
                     G
And we walked to the front door
                     D
Like a rock 'n' roll band
                  Em7
That night in Des Moines
                   D
That night in Des Moines


[VERSE 4:]

That night in Des Moines
                      Em7
We slept at your Mom's house
                     G
We drove east in the darkness
                   D
Toward a whole new day

And the lights on the big trucks
                  Em7
Were like gun camera tracers
           G
On I-80 at midnight
                        D
