                           TOWERS AND TREES

INTRO:
A  B  D  A

(Single Strum)
  A  B  D  E

      A  B  D  E
Woooo!

A  B  D   A


VERSE:
            A
Well I was born upon the east coast
      D
To a working family’s wage
             E
‘Neath the crumblin’ bricks and mortar
      D             A
Of a manufacturin’ age

         A
But you gave me a voice
       D
And a hunger for the stage
        E
I went searchin’
       D                  A
For a land where I could shout

      A
So I traced a line so serpentine
         D
Through cities grey and steel
      E
To a girl with auburn hair
         D                  A
Tell my heart how it could feel

      A
To a lover firm and steady
       D
As my hands upon the wheel
         E
Two and ten
      D             A          A
Even then I had my doubts, hey!


CHORUS:
           A   E   D
So I said hold my hand
          A
`Til the pines turn to cedars
         D              E
And the cedars turn to sand

         A
We’ll unwind this ribbon highway
         D                          E
`Til we reach the very end of who I am
D N.C.             A  B  D   A
I am a West Coast Man


VERSE:
    A
We caught a southern wind
        D
Blowin cross the great divide
        E
And it pulled me to the desert
         D              a
With my bitterness and pride

         A
Left my heart a vacant relic
       D
Til I let you come inside
        E                  D             A
And I learned to live off plenty in the drought

               E
Til you said “Babe,
            D                   A
Pack your things, we’re headed out”


CHORUS:
    A   E   D
So hold my hand
          A
`Til the pines turn to cedars
         D              E
And the cedars turn to sand

       F#m
Well I came here as your lover
     D
But now it`s as your friend
        E
That I stand
     D  N.C.              A  A
And you are a west coast man


BREAK:
         A              D
So just leave it all behind
               A
Well all your trouble
                           D
And the wonderin` in your eye

               A
For every stor-ry
(That you cannot write)

                       D
Just close the book on it
                   A
(Close the book on it)


`Cause we’re headed out sweet darlin`
                   D
(Close the book on it)


Just you and me girl
                   Bm  D
Close the book on iiiiiit


VERSE:
         A
And the skies they opened wide
                          D
The day we landed on the coast
       E
And I fell like autumn rain
          D              A
Upon the one I love the most

             A
Against the bruised and battered U-haul
       D
Still haunted by the ghost
      E                D                 A
Of a thousand endless nights out on the road

       A
And I cursed the cold pacific rain
     D
For falling on my home
        E
Til it cut through my intentions
        D                A
And it soaked me to the bone

           A
And I was screaming at the skies
             D
`Til I was laughing on my own
               E
That`s when I knew
            E
Well I was through
           A
And I was home


CHORUS:
    A   E   D
So hold my hand
          A
`Til the pines turn to cedars
         D              E
And the cedars turn to sand

              F#m
We’ll chase a cold water romance
           D
With this north western land
             E
That`s who I am

          A   E   D
When you hold my hand
          A
`Til the sky turns fire red
            D                 E
Beyond the farthest reach of land

        F#m
I came crawling to your shoreline
         D
But it`s time to take a stand
          E
For who I am
D N.C.
I am a West Coast Man
