King Of Dust
From the album Unseen

INTRO:

N.C.

VERSE 1:

  C majorC         FF C majorC   G+G          C majorC  C7C7
I dreamed that I was flying above the glittering world,
    FF       C majorC        G+G     C majorC
but I woke up in the bar ditch, car ready to explode
 FF       C majorC      FF        C majorC
Hanging upside down in the front seat of my truck
    FF        C majorC     G+G     C majorC C7C7
The scream of grinding metal, 40 cars piling up

CHORUS:

 FF          C majorC      E MajorE        A minorAm G+G
Nothing rusts in the desert. The air is full of ghosts
 FF           C majorC     G+G          C majorC  C7C7
Cliffs painted with the old gods, rabbit brush full of bones
   FF         C majorC     G+G              A minorAm G+G
Oh, Coronado, king of dust, the desert never cared what you saw
      FF  F minorFm    C majorC
when you stared into the sun

INTERLUDE:

C majorC

VERSE 2:

C majorC             FF C majorC   G+G          C majorC C7C7
Ancient oceans have been lost  beneath this shifting clay
     FF       C majorC       G+G         C majorC
where conquistadors in silver hunted Cibola across the plains,
      FF       C majorC       FF        C majorC
but there are no golden cities, only trailer parks and dust,
  FF      C majorC         G+G       C majorC C7C7
and angels only fly here when you drive into the sun

CHORUS:

 FF          C majorC      E MajorE        A minorAm G+G
Nothing rusts in the desert. The air is full of ghosts
 FF           C majorC     G+G          C majorC  C7C7
Cliffs painted with the old gods, rabbit brush full of bones
   FF         C majorC     G+G              A minorAm G+G
Oh, Coronado, king of dust, the desert never cared what you saw
      FF  F minorFm    C majorC
when you stared into the sun
