Gail With The Golden Hair chords by The Handsome Family

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD

D MajorD          A augmentedA
Out in the Red Rock Desert
              D MajorD
Sitting on the roof of my car
         A augmentedA
Drinking cans of warm beer
           D MajorD
Watching the sky get dark

 G+G          D MajorD
Gail and I shot our empties
    A augmentedA      D MajorD
with an old rusted rifle
   G+G        D MajorD
Her golden hair went flying
    B minorBm     F#F#
Like a wild brush fire
      G+G        A augmentedA   D MajorD
When the mountains turned red at dusk

   D MajorD           A augmentedA
Time passed in the burning desert
             D MajorD
and the tumbleweeds they tumbled
          A augmentedA
We lay in a golden fire
              D MajorD
As the screaming buzzards circled

B minorBm           F#F#
Far down the darkened valley
   G+G         D MajorD
The city lights still twinkled
    B minorBm       F#F#
But my eyes saw only Gail
     G+G       D MajorD
And her hair of golden fire
      G+G        A augmentedA   D MajorD
When the mountains turned red at dusk

     D MajorD           A augmentedA
But the fire it burned right through her
           D MajorD
Gail followed unseen voices
           A augmentedA
They led her to the city
           D MajorD
Deep in the darkened valley

     G+G          D MajorD
I drove circles through the alleys
A augmentedA          D MajorD
Calling my burning lover
   G+G        D MajorD
But Gail ran deeper into the gloom
  A augmentedA         D MajorD
Screaming at the streetlights

    B minorBm        F#F#
And I lost her there forever
 G+G          D MajorD
Deep in the valley's darkness
             A augmentedA
My Gail with the golden hair
   G+G        D MajorD
That burns bright as fire
      G+G        A augmentedA   D MajorD
When the mountains turned red at dusk

  D MajorD   G+G  A augmentedA   B minorBm
