Lexington Slow Down chords by Mark Lanegan

🎸 Intro:

C G Dm D

spoken:
 Dm
Won't break my heart, won't hope to die
               C
If before Lexington I could slow down
              G
They say a chariot's waiting when you get loose
      D
The place starts swinging when it's me on the noose

spoken:
  Dm
Mother do you think that your children cry
              C
'Cause they wanna shake your chain?
    G
I walked miles today, one for every year of my life
  D
In the stinking fucking rain

🎸 Chorus:
C    G               D
Ooo-ooo, just to slow down
                  C
So I could slow down
            G             Dm
So I could slow down, yeah

 D                       C
Work for me, luck, just one last time
  G                       D
Spare me a chance, I've wasted mine
  D                            C
Shine on me, light, don't you know I would
  G                        D
Reach for you there if I only I could?

 C
If I could slow down
 G                D
If I could slow down
 C
If I could slow down
 G               Dm
Just slow down

 D
I don't mind being stoned, they say Jesus was
 C
And I like being alone, and I can take living low
 G
Forgive my being cruel if ever I was
       D
Say a word for me too when I'm under the gun

 D
Wouldn't break my heart
                 C
If I could slow down
                      G
Let the place start swinging
                    Dm
There's a chariot waiting

 D
Wouldn't break my heart
                 C
If I could slow down
                      G
Let the place start swinging
                    Dm
There's a chariot waiting

  D
Wouldn't break my heart

C   G
