Intro: B

Vs:
B              D
I look at the sky
           E              B
I see an airplane as it flies
            B                    D
Is this the way they said Jesus came?
                 E
Gone through St Louis
            B
Gone straightaway
                E               B
And I hear the winter will cut you quick
               E                       B
If tears were liquor Id have drunk myself sick

Chs: B D E B (x2)

Vs:
B              D
Woman are you home
             E               B
A house of cards a frame of bones
       B            D
Here I am earthly bound
          E                B
Said Hallelujah Im going down
               E              B
And the river Jordan is deep and wide
               E                       B
I think I see forever across on the other side

Chs: B D E B (x2)

Vs:
B              D
I look at the sky
          E               B
I see a nightbird as it flies
B         D                E
Over the old bent cherry trees
               B
Shivering in a row
               E               B
Down here the winter will cut you quick
                 E                       B
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick

Chs: B D E B (x2)

Outro:
                 E               B
And the dead of winter will cut you quick
                 E                       B
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
