Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

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

Verse 2:
   Am            Em
And I offered her a ride
   Am            Em
But she said "Let's stay the night"
   Am            Em
Dragged her nails hard down my back
 Am             Em        F             C        G
Until the crimson blood dripped down on sheets so white

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


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

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