Chords with lyrics
[Intro]
G minorGm Bb majorBb
G minorGm Bb majorBb
[Verse 1]
G minorGm
Rode south before the winter
Bb majorBb
I took shelter in your eyes
D#D#
Pushed all the way to Brooklyn
FF G minorGm
Didn't ask for nothin' but a place to spend the night
G minorGm
And I know that there's a reason
Bb majorBb
Why the rains keep roaming in
D#D#
The creosote is blooming
FF
The winds are busy crooning
G minorGm
And the stark is turning in
G minorGm
They say Boy, you're looking skinny
Bb majorBb
Should you really go this hard?
D#D#
you're doing it for nothing
FF
These risky miles your truckin'
G minorGm
Are crazy as they are far
[Chorus 1]
D#D# FF Bb majorBb FF G minorGm
Can you tell me about the moon that rises earlier up north
D#D#
Through the hills were they sing
FF
In the early part of spring
Bb majorBb C minorCm FF G minorGm
Where the road goes on forever like the pictures that we see
D#D# Bb majorBb FF
And are you lost and scared and tired
G minorGm (hit twice)
When we can't see
Bb majorBb
AAHH AAHHHH AHHHH
G minorGm Bb majorBb
AAHH AAHHHH AHHHH
D#D# FF
AAHH AAHHHH AHHHH
[Verse 2]
G minorGm
And I've never felt the wind blow
Bb majorBb
Like they do in Tennessee
D#D#
They weren't all that strong
FF
But carried them a song
G minorGm
That reminded you to me
G minorGm
They say Boy, you're looking skinny
Bb majorBb
Should you really go this hard?
D#D#
You're doing it for nothing
FF
These risky miles your truckin'
G minorGm
Are crazy as they are far
[Chorus 2]
D#D# FF Bb majorBb FF G minorGm
Can you tell me about the moon that rises earlier up north
D#D#
Through the hills were they sing
FF
In the early part of spring
Bb majorBb C minorCm FF G minorGm
Where the road goes on forever like the pictures that we see
D#D# Bb majorBb FF
And are you lost and scared and tired
G minorGm
When we can't see
[Bridge]
D#D# Bb majorBb
Cause the sun won't rise
D#D# Bb majorBb FF G minorGm
If the moon don't rip her from the sky
Bb majorBb FF D#D#
It's a help in keeping whole
Bb majorBb FF D#D#
So we'll rest when we get home
D#D#
I'm strung out and far gone
FF
I feel all alone
G minorGm FF Bb majorBb D#D#
The winding of the river makes me want to find my way back home
FF
My way back home
D#D#
My way back home
FF
My way back home
D#D#
My way back home
FF
My way back home
D#D#
My way back home
FF
My way back home
[Verse 3]
G minorGm
Cause I know it's not forever
Bb majorBb
Cause I can only go so long
D#D#
One day I'll get to dying
FF
So the only thing worth trying
G minorGm
Is leaving you a song
G minorGm
And I'll play it if you want to
Bb majorBb
I've been playing it my whole life
D#D#
I'll chase you across the desert
FF
The prairies and the mountains
G minorGm
Towards pleasantries and strife
[Bridge]
D#D# Bb majorBb
Cause the sun can't rise
D#D# Bb majorBb FF G minorGm
If the moon don't rip her from the sky
Bb majorBb FF D#D#
It's a help in keeping lost
Bb majorBb FF
And scared and tired
When you can't see
D#D# Bb majorBb FF
And lost and scared and tired
When they run free
D#D# Bb majorBb FF
And lost and scared and tired
G minorGm (hit twice)
When you can't see
[Outro]
Bb majorBb
AAHH AAHHHH AHHHH
G minorGm Bb majorBb
AAHH AAHHHH AHHHH
D#D# FF
