Dorchester chords by Matt Minglewood

Chords with lyrics

INTRO:Am,C,Dm,Am x4

Verse:
A minorAm             C majorC
Somewhere in the dark, in a town beneath the border
     DmDm             A minorAm
There's a lone woman who cries in the night
             C majorC
She has been a loner ever since he's know her
    DmDm             A minorAm
But she keeps her loneliness out of sight
                C majorC
Somewhere at the coast near the Bay of Fundy
     DmDm           A minorAm
There's a place called Dorchester town
                C majorC
In a cell on a block behind the walls of the prison
     DmDm         A minorAm
There's a man on a real come down

Am,C,Dm,Am x2

VERSE:
A minorAm              C majorC
They had got together a long, long time ago
    DmDm           A minorAm
The love burned right from the start
AM            C majorC
But he was an outlaw, though he tried to change
    DmDm        A minorAm
He just kept breaking her heart
AM               C majorC
I don't know how it started but I do know how it ended
    DmDm         A minorAm
And it ended the way it is now
A minorAm               C majorC
He's doing twenty years in the Dorchester Prison
   DmDm         A minorAm      FF
She's doing twenty years somehow

CHORUS:
FF DmDm     A minorAm
If he never pulled the gun
DmDm            A minorAm
He'd never end up on the run
FF      G+G          A minorAm
If she never listened to her heart
FF  G+G    FF           A minorAm
Why did she listen, listen to her heart

Am,C,Dm,Am x2

VERSE:
A minorAm           C majorC
Somehow the years have past
    DmDm           A minorAm
And two more hours he's free at last
          C majorC
He'll walk past that wall
   DmDm       A minorAm
Sixty miles down the road
            C majorC
She's driving north with a heavy load
   DmDm     A minorAm
She's not sure at all
           C majorC
Has he really changed his ways
   DmDm         A minorAm
Or will she only count the days
         C majorC
Until the tear drops fall
  DmDm         A minorAm
Or will he end up on the run
            C majorC
With his only friend called a gun
    DmDm        A minorAm
When he hears the outlaw call

CHORUS:

Am,C,Dm,Am x8 until fade
