               MEAN OLD SUN
             TURNPIKE TROUBADOURS

Intro:

C majorC DmDm C majorC DmDm

Verse :
    DmDm      DmDm
Empty promises I’ve given
    C majorC         DmDm
Hollow heart beats in my chest
      G+G        DmDm
And every word of sterling silver
        C majorC  G+G         DmDm
Stirred butterfliiiies beneath your breast



Verse :
     DmDm
Still untouched by ties a-binding
    C majorC           DmDm
Goin’ where the Gulf breeze blows
      G+G        DmDm
No ring of gold around your finger
      C majorC   G+G       DmDm
No ring of brass run through my nose


Chorus:
C majorC         DmDm
Headlong for the wall now honey
 C majorC        DmDm
Still coming up like a rose

          FF
Dead still in the garden
 C majorC          DmDm
Waiting for the reveille

   C majorC       DmDm        C majorC       DmDm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

             FF          C majorC     G+G   DmDm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me

Verse :
     DmDm
Hear the song she sang in darkness
     C majorC         DmDm
Tearful, fair, and free and fine
      G+G       DmDm
You’re the one she softly whispers
   C majorC  G+G     DmDm
My canaaaary in the mine


Chorus:
C majorC         DmDm
Headlong for the wall now honey
 C majorC        DmDm
Still coming up like a rose

          FF
Dead still in the garden
 C majorC          DmDm
Waiting for the reveille

   C majorC       DmDm        C majorC       DmDm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

             FF          C majorC     G+G   DmDm DmDm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me

Verse :
    DmDm          DmDm
I met a man, pale gray with wisdom
     C majorC         DmDm
Told me faith will come collect
        G+G         DmDm
Hard tempered steel bites at my ankles
       C majorC  G+G      DmDm
Soft cotton rove burns at my neck


Chorus:
C majorC         DmDm
Headlong for the wall now honey
 C majorC        DmDm
Still coming up like a rose

          FF
Dead still in the garden
 C majorC          DmDm
Waiting for the reveille

   C majorC       DmDm        C majorC       DmDm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
