Verse 1:
DmDm
I cross the road and the leaves come down
DmDm     C majorC           G+G
I watch the car pulling out toward town
G+G       FF          G+G
Left standing here with a sleeping child
G+G       FF           G+G
And a wildcat prowling 'round in my yard
G7G7     DmDm
And winter coming on

Verse 2:
DmDm
This is not country I know
DmDm     C majorC            G+G
I rent this house from people up the road
G+G          FF              G+G
And everybody 'round here, been here a long, long time
G+G       FF         G+G
Me, I'll be a stranger all of my life
G7G7        DmDm
'Cause we always move on

Verse 3:
DmDm
There was a time I sang a wildcat song
DmDm          C majorC            G+G
I said there wasn't a man could ever settle me down
G+G          FF               G+G
And when my soul got heavy, I wrapped it in velvet cloth
G+G           FF          G+G
That was all I had to carry when times got hard
G7G7      DmDm
But that was long ago

Verse 4:
DmDm
This child of mine is growin' up strong
DmDm          C majorC           G+G
He's got his daddy's fire and his mother's song
G+G         FF            G+G
Me, I picked up a few hearts out along the road
G+G        FF         G+G
And I carry them with me wherever I go
G7G7     DmDm
Wherever we go

Verse 5:
DmDm
I cross the road and the leaves come down
DmDm     C majorC            G+G
I watch the car pulling out towards town
G+G       FF           G+G
Left standing here with this hungry child
G+G       FF       G+G
And a wildcat heart 23 miles out
G7G7     DmDm
And winter coming on
