Waxwings chords by Greg Graffin

GREG GRAFFIN - WAXWINGS

album version - MILLPORT

VERSE 1:
    A          G             D         A
The sun on the maples like indelible stain
               G                D       A
Happy red pine varmints must be raising cain
                      G               D         A
And here out west the blazes sketch a violent domain
           G                  D     A
Maybe them waxwings will come back again
                        G             D              A
From a lonely burnt out shanty in the morning, I can tell
           G               D      A
The fog is lifting off the chaparral
                   G            D     A
Where the solitary lion and the toyon dwell
              G              D        A
Those channel linings cast a haunting spell

CHORUS:
       D                    A                  C            G
Like a winter's freeze or a vernal breeze that blows forevermore
Bb          F                         C
Friends and neighbors always at your door
    D               A               C             G
And just like sandy shorelines that vanish in a storm
Bb              C              D
They don't come around here anymore


INSTRUMENTAL:
A G D A

VERSE 2:
        A        G               D             A
Now the annual migrations are as solid as your word
         G          D        A
Too many promises becomes absurd
                       G              D        A
But my faith may be forever shattered if not burned
              G               D         A
Just one more visit from that spectacle bird


CHORUS:
       D                    A                  C            G
Like a winter's freeze or a vernal breeze that blows forevermore
Bb          F                         C
Friends and neighbors always at your door
    D               A               C             G
And just like sandy shorelines that vanish in a storm
Bb              F              C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb              F              C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb              F              C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb              F              C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb              F              C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb              F              C
They don't come around here anymore
Bb              F              C
They don't come around here anymore
