Part One: (Continued)

Am7              D
That sick man so shiny in his slump
Am7               D
Doubled over like a water pump
C                D
He was dribbling out from his nostrils
C               D
Onto his ankles leaking like Aprils
Am7               D
Yeah the thaw had already begun
Am7                       D
We could hear the earshot from your cabin
C                         D
In the holy boldness your cheeks purpled and pinked
C                          D
There in the coldness with some sort of instinct
Am7             D
Oh the fluency, me with my hands cupped
Am7                    D
Catching currency that you made it erupt
C                           D
The quiet of spilling right after the stilling
C                       D
Why it was chilling our hot windowsilling
Am7                     D
I see your stature when breathing and turning
Am7                       D
Smoking the black blur as if somethings burning
C                       D
Remember the gray-slate coming of some thrill
C                       D
The low sky of too-late up on Bunker Hill

   Bridge

    Oh           Oh      Oh      Oh

        Em              D                      Am   (Riff)
And the whirling eddies sprayed off the semis tail
Em          Bm            C         D
The curling snow-traps of your hair
Em           D                    Am (Riff)
Feeling warm inside the swarms of hail
Em                    Bm            C          D
The foreign planet of some diner we found there

      Em            D              Am (Riff)
So my brother and I saddle up some horse
    Em             Bm                C       D
And watch the snow thinning with the thawing
Em                D            Am (Riff)
Another will die, rattle me so coarse
Em               Bm          C      D
Will it leave me grinning or awing?
Em               Bm          C      D
Will it leave me grinning or awing?
Em               Bm          C      D
Will it leave me grinning or aw..
