Chords with lyrics
G+G
Your guitar's hanging on the wall
D MajorD
In a hole in Aberdeen
C/GC/G FF C/GC/G
With the dancing shoes and the brakeman's blues
G+G FF C/GC/G
And the dirty magazines
G+G
I've heard that thing a thousand times
D MajorD
By the glow of kerosene
C/GC/G FF C/GC/G
And I guess I heard you gave it up
G+G FF C/GC/G
For the sake of coming clean
G+G B7B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
C/GC/G D MajorD
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
G+G D MajorD
From the getting up that mighty high
FF C/GC/G
To the winding up that low
G+G B7B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,
E minorEm C/GC/G
Ain't it something ain't it slow
G+G
You leave a trail
D MajorD
Of harm and hail
FF C/GC/G FF C/GC/G
Everywhere you go
G+G
The steel wires stretch across the place
D MajorD
And they cut it all apart
C/GC/G FF C/GC/G
Where the worthless words of the wagging tongues
G+G FF C/GC/G
They cut you to the heart
G+G
I always knew the steel was cold
D MajorD
And I figured it was sharp
C/GC/G FF C/GC/G
Now the steel strings keep me tethered to
G+G FF C/GC/G
The highway and the harp
G+G B7B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
C/GC/G D MajorD
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
G+G D MajorD
From the getting up that mighty high
FF C/GC/G
To the winding up that low
G+G B7B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,
E minorEm C/GC/G
Ain't it something ain't it slow
G+G
You leave a trail
D MajorD
Of harm and hail
FF C/GC/G FF C/GC/G
Everywhere you go
D MajorD C/GC/G G+G
they're going to put you in the paper
D MajorD C/GC/G G+G
if you're too small for the screen
D MajorD C/GC/G
they'll ride you blue
FF C/GC/G
and when they're through
FF C/GC/G
gonna turn you into glue
D MajorD
anyway
(break)
G+G D MajorD C/GC/G FF C/GC/G G+G FF C/GC/G
G+G D MajorD C/GC/G FF C/GC/G G+G FF C/GC/G
G+G
If your I's are always troubled
D MajorD
And your T's are double-crossed
C/GC/G
The buzzards bound
FF C/GC/G
To claim he found
G+G FF C/GC/G
A augmentedA man that wasn't lost
G+G
You'll find me here this time, next year
D MajorD
If I'm anywhere at all
C/GC/G
Down in the birl
FF C/GC/G
The swine and pearls
G+G FF C/GC/G
The girls and alcohol
G+G B7B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
C/GC/G D MajorD
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
G+G D MajorD
From the getting up that mighty high
FF C/GC/G
To the winding up that low
G+G B7B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,
E minorEm C/GC/G
Ain't it something ain't it slow
G+G
You leave a trail
D MajorD
Of harm and hail
