Difficulty: Novice

C majorC              G+G
Flat on my back, halfway through a six pack
       FF          C majorC
Hear the neighborhood kids as they play
     FF              G+G
And the fire hydrant sprays, on this mid-August day
A minorAm   E minorEm     FF
God I was I was so far away
    C majorC            G+G
She hitchhiked south down from Kalispell now
   FF          C majorC
I am trying to recall how we met
   FF         G+G
She saw me stare as she tied up her hair
  A minorAm    E minorEm    FF
At a diner three miles outside
  A minorAm    E minorEm      FF
Of Twin Falls, Idaho late one night

Verse 2:
  A minorAm      E minorEm
And I offered her a ride
  A minorAm      E minorEm
But she said "Let's stay the night"
  A minorAm      E minorEm
Dragged her nails hard down my back
 A minorAm       E minorEm    FF       C majorC    G+G
Until the crimson blood dripped down on sheets so white

Chorus:
       FF        C majorC
She washed across the Northern Planes
    A minorAm             E minorEm
Like a storm with no name, she was gone in three days
    FF     C majorC     G+G
How I wish she stayed to rain on me
     FF        C majorC
Ooh, and I thought I was safe
     A minorAm          E minorEm
Swearing these winds of change could not blow us away
       FF     C majorC    G+G
But I learned I would pay for my mistakes
   A minorAm     E minorEm   FF
At a diner three miles outside
    FF    G+G      C majorC
Of twin falls, Idaho late one night

Verse 3:
    C majorC                   G+G
Like a half ton of bricks, I'm laid down by my sins
         FF        C majorC
Cause the temple where I used to pray
   FF            G+G
Is corrupt and profane, I blaspheme in her name
   A minorAm     E minorEm     FF
In a city where she's never been
   A minorAm       G+G     FF
At least I have her name on my lips
     A minorAm        E minorEm
Kept her hand right on her gun
    A minorAm         E minorEm
And she cursed when she was done
    A minorAm         E minorEm
With her breath hot on my neck
  A minorAm   E minorEm     FF    C majorC   G+G
Whispered "Something to remember me, my love"

Chorus:
      FF          C majorC
She washed across the Northern Planes
    A minorAm           E minorEm
Like a storm with no name, she was gone in three days
   FF     C majorC        G+G
How I wish she stayed to rain on me
      FF       C majorC
Ooh, and I thought I was safe
     A minorAm          E minorEm
Swearing these winds of change could not blow us away
   FF        C majorC     G+G
But I learned I would pay for my mistakes
   A minorAm    E minorEm   FF
At a diner three miles outside
    FF     G+G      C majorC
Of twin falls, Idaho late one night
