Chords with lyrics

Key: Bb majorBb

Verse :
Bb majorBb             Bb/Ab
I am from Salinas where the women go forever
     Bb/G           Bb/FBb/F
And they never ever to stop to ask why
  Bb majorBb           Bb/Ab
My mother was a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour
   Bb/G                Bb majorBb
With long, blond curly hair down to her thigh


Bb majorBb
Oh my mother Oh my friends
Bb majorBb           Bb/Ab   Gbmaj7Gbmaj7  Bb majorBb
Ask the angels "Will I ever see heaven again "

Verse 2:

Bb majorBb                Bb/Ab
Late into the evening, they would take each other screaming
    Bb/G           Bb majorBb
Looking darkly to the back of her eye
  Bb majorBb                  Bb/Ab
The careless beast was bleating that the air behind was breathing
     Bb/G            Bb/FBb/F
That they musn't ever look up to the sky
Bb majorBb
There are no answers there are found
Bb majorBb         Bb/Ab Gbmaj7Gbmaj7 Bb majorBb
Ask the angels, "Am I heaven-bound "


Bridge:

Bb majorBb Bb/Ab  Bb/G  Bb/FBb/F Bb majorBb
Mmmm put it down to me
Bb/Ab    Bb/G  Bb/FBb/F
I, who speak awkwardly
  Bb majorBb       Bb/Ab      Bb/G  Bb/FBb/F
Any word, if it is heard, is not intended to be
    Bb majorBb      Bb/Ab    Bb/G       Bb/FBb/F
Not for them, not for her not for him, and not for me
FF           Eb MajorEb
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand

we start paying for our sins
    Bb majorBb    Bb/Ab    Bb/G   Bb/FBb/F Bb majorBb
With a gun in my hand and my sun at my shoulder
 Bb majorBb      Bb/Ab      Bb/G   Bb/FBb/F Bb majorBb
Believe I will run before that boy gets older
FF           Eb MajorEb                    Bb majorBb
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
FF           Eb MajorEb                    Bb majorBb
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
