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)

Chorus B:

        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
        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
