Florida chords by Patty Griffin

Chords with lyrics

CAPO 4

INTRO:
         E minorEm
La la la la la la la
         C majorC
La la la la la la la
         E minorEm
La la la la la la la
         C majorC
La la la la la la la la la

VERSE:
       G+G            E minorEm
Couple young girls went sailing down A1A
        C majorC           D MajorD
To the arms of Florida sailing down a highway
       E minorEm              C majorC
Singing their heads off, tainted by the Holy Ghosts
          G+G              D MajorD
Flying in from the ocean, driving with their eyes closed

CHORUS:

  C majorC       D MajorD     E minorEm
The night wants to kiss you deep, and be on his way
C majorC        D MajorD    G+G        D MajorD
Pretend he don't know you the very next day
     C majorC            E minorEm
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
         C majorC        D MajorD         E minorEm
How I still hang around here when there's nothing to hold me

VERSE:

        G+G               E minorEm
You slide down into the sea from twelve hours on your feet
            C majorC             D MajorD
And get the tide to wash you away, thousands and thousands of days
         E minorEm               C majorC
And someone you never meet signs a check you get every week
         G+G                  D MajorD
You try and still can't forget all the strangers that you have met

CHORUS:

  C majorC       D MajorD    E minorEm
The night never owed you nothing anyway
C majorC           D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
Makes promises that he never intends to keep every day
     C majorC            E minorEm
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
         C majorC        D MajorD         E minorEm
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me

BRIDGE:

C majorC        D MajorD          E minorEm
Every time every year the travelers come and go
                C majorC
You see them landing with their pale wings
            D MajorD
And flying back to the snow

VERSE: (Same Chords)


And the summer comes marching in with his heavy boots on
Kicking along the blacktopped sidewalks of A1A
The young girls in their bare feet, cigarettes smoking
Looking every which way, wishing and a'hoping


CHORUS:

And you want the night just to let you sleep and be on his way
Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing to say
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me
     C majorC            E minorEm
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
         C majorC        D MajorD         E minorEm    C majorC
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me

         E minorEm
La la la la la la la
         C majorC     D MajorD
