Chords with lyrics
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Cigarettes in the morning
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Walking hallways of this strange empty home
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Cold whiskey in the evening
D MajorD A augmentedA
Every day now she?s gone.
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
Connemara?s on the bus route to Behan
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
It?s seven days since the last cow died
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And when the barley?s gone and three lost women
A augmentedA D MajorD
Like the girls and boys in Rome used to cry.
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
Just give me cornbread in the morning so early
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
For you took my rags in the fold of your hand
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And before you fall just like a feather and linen
A augmentedA D MajorD
Make sure you?ve taken off that black velvet band.
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
They say that roving?s like a candle at midnight
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
And some take it like the trot of a mule
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
But when the road is blind and your own tender lady
A augmentedA D MajorD
You?d take a match to find a firelit fool.
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
How come the way?s not like stairs in a castle
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
With crimson pictures there to guide you along
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
A augmentedA gilded bottle with a few draughts inside it
A augmentedA D MajorD
Makes the lights in the rafters look so strong.
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
When your true love?s gone to run like an engine
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
After nine young women with no faces their own
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And in America she spins like a dancer
A augmentedA D MajorD
With barrel straps and some shoes made of stone.
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
I?d guess the porches there are all clouded over
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
And pipes and fiddles might could use some repair
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And all the horses have been broken in stables
A augmentedA D MajorD
And golden fleeces could be worse for the wear.
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
But if you ever come to Clifden by sunset
B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
Just before the Autumn rains touch the shore
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
To stroll along Cleggan?s grey-hooded harbor
A augmentedA D MajorD
Cutting hard like the blade of an oar.
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
You take yourself to a hill past the pierline
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
To find a cabin of whiskey and milk
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Where St. Coleman used to ply to his master
A augmentedA D MajorD
Like colored linen and mulberry silk.
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Cigarettes in the morning
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Walking hallways of this strange empty home
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Cold whiskey in the evening
D MajorD A augmentedA
Every day now she?s gone.
