Leaving Detroit chords by The Jayhawks

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Bb   Am   Dm

Verse 1:
Bb7M
Boarded windows, rusty stairs

Local color push their wares
         Am            Dm
They're stuck in their ways
    Bb7M
You tell me that you just don't care
C
Don't pretend that you don't care

Verse 2:
Bb7M
Waves of undulating grain
                        Am
Visible from the little train
           D7
Where you slept
Gm
Sorry that I ripped your dress
C                        A7
Sorry that I ripped your dress, whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh


Chorus:
Dm             F
You're already gone
                   Bb
This house ain't a home
                   F
I'll take the last flight
Dm            F
I stare at my hands
                    Bb
We'll make our last stand
              F
I'm leavin' Detroit


Verse 3:
    Bb7M
The pushin' billboards, fast food chains
                            Am
Tires whining softly in the rain
                    Dm
On the outskirts of town
Bb7M
What it is that I don't got
C
Who it is that I'm not


Verse 4:
    Bb7M
You like it rough, or so you said

I hit you 'til my fingers bled
     Am              D7
Your eyes are nickel blue
   Gm
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin
   Eb                           C
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin, whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh


Chorus:
Dm             F
You're already gone
                   Bb
This house ain't a home
                   F
I'll take the last flight
Dm            F
I stare at my hands
                    Bb
We'll make our last stand
              F
I'm leavin' Detroit
