Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

DmDm      C majorC    FF      G+G       Bb majorBb
It don't get much worse, than winter South Dakota
DmDm        FF         A augmentedA
My pa was as drunk as a bar room rag
DmDm     C majorC    FF      G+G           Bb majorBb
I saw him one more time, in the warmth of a begger's refuge
DmDm        A augmentedA       DmDm
Still sailing on his, dirty raft.


[Verse 2]

DmDm   C majorC   FF    G+G        Bb majorBb
Mama's tears, tasted like sea water
DmDm        FF         A augmentedA
I cried on her shoulders while she sleep
DmDm   C majorC    FF       G+G     Bb majorBb
She got cold, she got idle as a picture
DmDm          A augmentedA       DmDm
She died with the flowers in the fall.

[Verse 3]

DmDm   C majorC     FF   G+G     Bb majorBb
The graveyard cold,   late November
DmDm       FF        A augmentedA
My brother Cody, he come to help
DmDm  C majorC   FF       G+G          Bb majorBb
Cody never cried, he went a-riding with Hell's Angels
DmDm         A augmentedA        DmDm
At least he's, found his family there.


[Verse 4]

DmDm  C majorC  FF      G+G          Bb majorBb
Me, I left town, and I took no more than a picture
DmDm          FF         A augmentedA
and a coat of my mama's to keep me warm.
    DmDm  C majorC   FF      G+G       Bb majorBb
I ain't ever going back, to Vermillion South Dakota
DmDm     A augmentedA      D MajorD
I never could return.

[Outro]

DmDm    C majorC     FF      G+G       Bb majorBb
It don't get much worse, than winter South Dakota,
DmDm         A augmentedA          D MajorD
