Aaron Traffas - 200 Miles Away


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: C   F    C    F

 C
 I hear the coyotes calling
 F                G
 Their melancholy pierces the night
 C
 I feel those wheat fields waving
 F                         G
 Calling me with their collective spite
 F
 I know tomorrow morning
 C                  F
 Fate will dictate my part
 Dm
 But I never believed in fate
         G
 Because I know the coyote’s heart

 CHORUS:
 C                 F
 You’re 200 miles away
                           C
 On the other side of the state
                                     F
 And I’m going round and round in a wheat field
            G
 Trying to beat the rain
 C                                  F
 The sun goes down, it won’t matter much
                                            Dm
 We’ll keep on cutting ‘till the straw gets tough
                          G
 I’ll be free when we get through
                                    C
 I'll head back to town and back to you



 Outside the chaff is blowing
 Inside my muscles ache
 Outside the sun is setting
 In it I see your face
 I’ll be damned if I leave
 Before the harvest moon assumes a crescent shape
 I’d hit the road with the hammer down
 If only I could these fetters break



 I see the storm clouds rolling
 Oklahoma's gift, the rain
 I see the weather, unlike you
 Never minded the grain
 The squall line across the field moves
 Just like your life crossed mine
 As I roll the tarp I think
