F# minorF#m E MajorE B minorBm
I welcomed them in with open arms
F# minorF#m E MajorE D/AD/A
so they drew their guns from their belts and walked right in
F# minorF#m E MajorE A augmentedA
They laid me by the fire to watch me dry my eyes out
F# minorF#m E MajorE D/AD/A
Because we’re just soldiers looking for a war to fight
chorus
A augmentedA E MajorE B minorBm F# minorF#m
I saw a hunter crawling out in the distance, he’s tired, his legs are tied
C# minorC#m G+G F# minorF#m
He’s dehydrated, drowning in the well
A augmentedA E MajorE
Gasoline fields in my backyard
B minorBm F# minorF#m
They’re cavernous, bridgeless and unbound
C# minorC#m G+G F# minorF#m
Their ruinous remains will mark all our graves
interlude riff again
F# minorF#m E MajorE B#mB#m
I don’t have much to tell the travelers down the road
F# minorF#m E MajorE A augmentedA
cause they just stopped by looking for a place to rest
F# minorF#m E MajorE
And they’ll disappear when morning comes
A augmentedA
Shadows on the landscape block the sun
F# minorF#m E MajorE D/AD/A
cause this isn’t where they wanted to be found
