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
