        MONT BLANC
       QUIET HOLLERS

CAPO: 2nd FRET

INTRO:
Em G D Am
Em G D Am
Em

VERSE:
Em                G
  I know I planted those seeds down too deep
 D              Am
They'll die and never see the sun
           Em
My fault for that one

Em           G
  I was a city boy before
        D
No excuses anymore
                 Am
I'll try to learn and to keep us fed
                   Em G D Am
Shed a tear for the books I shoulda read


VERSE:
Em                G
  And I'd seen all the warning signs
          D
On the TV, in the Times
             Am
But I had you to hold at night
             Em
And so it took me by surprise

Em              G
 We had so many things back then
              D
I had a silver Mont Blanc pen

And I'd write for hours
    Am
About nothing
             C
It makes any difference now


CHORUS:
 C                G   D
And I used to worry what clothes I had on
 C              G     D
The school recitals and the manicured lawns
 C              G
And I had a laundry-list of people
            D       C
I could count on if it all went wrong
N.C.       Em G D Am
And then the bomb


VERSE:
Em               G
Now I take precautions for my peace of mind
D                   Am
I don't know what difference it might make

To hang on any longer

Em               G
But I cut the tree across the drive
              D
Spend the daylight hours inside
               Am
Trying to make the place look empty
           Em G D Am
so as no-one comes around


VERSE:
Em                 G
 I thought I saw them again last night

Those same distant headlights
D              Am
 Sweeping back and forth across
                Em
The empty shells of the summer homes

Em
And if the bastards ever come
G                   D
 Promise me you'll take the kids and run
              Am
I may be weak and I may be frail
      Em          C
But I can throw them off your trail


CHORUS:
 C                G   D
And I used to worry what clothes I had on
 C              G     D
The school recitals and the manicured lawns
 C              G
And I had a laundry-list of people
            D       C
I could count on if it all went wrong


CHORUS:
 C                G   D
And I used to worry what clothes I had on
 C              G     D
The school recitals and the manicured lawns
 C              G
And I had a laundry-list of people
            D       C C C
I could count on if it all went wrong
N.C.       Em
And then the bomb
    G      D
Oh, the bo-oo-oo-oo-omb


OUTRO:
 Am                 Em  G D
Shed a tear for the books I shoulda read
 Am                 Em  G D
Shed a tear for the books I shoulda read
 Am                 Em  Em
Shed a tear for the books I shoulda read
