Forty Miles From Nowhere Chords

Key: D Intro: D Bm7 Em7 A Verse 1: D Bm It rained today, the clouds rolled up at dawn Em7 A All hell burst wide open and just like that was gone D Bm Your little lap dog chased a fox-tailed squirrel across the main road through the woods Em7 A Some ninja on a dirt bike nearly ran him down for good D Right about now, it gets quiet around here Bm What with nightfall in the wings Em7 The floorboards creak and the faucets leak A But it’s the emptiness that sings

Chorus 1: G D G The wind grows chill and then lies still D A D Forty miles from nowhere at the bottom of the world Bridge: Bm Friends don’t call like they used to D For reasons not unkind Em7 If there’s anything that we can do G A Hangs hollow down a telephone line Verse 2: D Bm There’s a cedar grove in the back of the house, maybe halfway down the hill Em7 A A place to go and just lay low when there's precious time to kill D Bm7 Well, it’s me your little lap dog and that old brindle cat trying to keep this place alive Em7 A Heading into town these days is the last thing on my mind D Bm7 When the moon is hanging fat and full and all those jangly stars recede Em7 A A fold-out couch on a midnight porch is where my footsteps lead Chorus 2: G D G You always said I made my bed D A Bm Forty miles from nowhere at the bottom of the world D A D Forty miles from nowhere at the bottom of the world Outro: Bm7 Em7 A D Bm7 Em7 A D Bm7 Em7 A D Bm7 Em7
