Escarpment Blues chords by Sarah Harmer

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Chorus A:
    D   G     D
If they blow a hole in my backyard
D      G     D     G
Everyone is gonna run away
  D      G      D     G
The creeks won't flow to the Great Lake below
     D      G       D
Will the water in the wells still be ok?

Chorus B:

    D   G      D     G
If they blow a hole in the backbone
       D       G       D     G
The one that runs cross the muscles of the land
    D      G    D       G
Well we might get a load of stone for the road
   D          G       D
But I don't know how much longer we can stand

Verse 1:

G              A
We'll need to build some new apartments
   G                A
And I know we're gonna have to fix the roads
     G         A
But if we blow a hole in the escarpment
  G                A
The wild ones won't have anywhere to go

Interlude:

D - G - D - G (x2)

Chorus A:

    D   G     D
If they blow a hole in my backyard
D      G     D     G
Everyone is gonna run away
  D      G      D     G
The creeks won't flow to the Great Lake below
     D      G       D
Will the water in the wells still be ok?

Verse 2:

G             A
We'll keep driving on the Blind Line
   G              A
If we don't know where we want to go
   G              A
Even knowledge that's sound can get watered down
  G                  A
The truth can get sucked out the car window (x2)


Bridge:
   G           A
We're two-thirds water; What do we really need?
  G        A
But sun, showers, soil and seed
   G           A
We're two-thirds water; The aquifers provide
   G              A
Deep down in the rock; There's a pearl inside

Interlude:

D - G - D - G (x2)

    D      G    D       G
Well we might get a load of stone for the road
   D          G       D
But I don't know how much longer we can stand
    D      G    D       G
Well we might get a load of stone for the road
   D          G       D
But I don't know how much longer we can stand
