Greencastle Blues chords by Todd Snider

Verse 1:
            C          F    C
There was a time when I was handsome
            F              F         C
There was a time when I had money to burn
            C         F       C
There was a time when where I landed
        F                                 C
Was the least of my, was the least of my concerns

      F              G             C
But it hurts to lean back in these handcuffs
     F             G               C
Like nine kinds of shame turned to rage
     F       M                F        G
As a younger man I might have put up a fight
       F               G          C
But I feel like such a fool at my age

Chorus:
  Em                       Dm
Some of this trouble just finds me
Em                F
No matter where I turn
   C          Dm              F    G
So how do you know when it's too late?
 C          Dm             F    G
How do you know when it's too late?
 C          Dm            F    G       C
How do you know when it's too late to learn?


Verse 2:
              C         F           C
You know the number one symptom of heart disease
    F                                             C
The number one symptom of heart disease is sudden death
         C             F     C                      F
It's like time stands still forever until it starts shaking around on you
 F                                           C
Shaking around like some crazy old hooker on meth

        F         G             C
And you know me I can't take no preaching
       F         G         C
Not on Sunday or no other day
      F           G         F          G
But I feel like I oughta be praying or something
    F          G            C
And I have no idea what to say


Chorus:
Em                         Dm
Some of this trouble just finds me
Em                    F
Most of this trouble I earn
C          Dm             F   G
How do you know when it's too late?
C          Dm             F   G
How do you know when it's too late?
C          Dm             F   G       C
How do you know when it's too late to learn?


Verse 3:
             C            F            C
I've learned nothing out here on this highway
            F
But I have been passed by
           F                                C
And I have passed my more than my share of cars
       C     F        C
And I do remember my younger days
           F                             F
When I was so certain that driving even faster
                  C
Was gonna get me far

           F                G           C
So there's nothing left for me to learn here
          F            G          C
Just this half full of half empty cup
F            G         F         G
Less than an ounce of possession man
           F             G            C
I could do that kind of time standing up


Chorus:
Em                            Dm
Most of this trouble just finds me
 Em                F
No matter where I turn
 C          Dm             F   G
How do you know when it's too late?
 C          Dm             F   G
How do you know when it's too late?
 C          Dm             F   G      C
How do you know when it's too late to learn?
