Emily White - Arkansas




INTRO: C majorC E minorEm C majorC D MajorD

     G+G
Well, the flags are all at half-mast
C majorC
We don't have to ask
E minorEm              D MajorD
We've all got our own reasons why these days
    G+G            C majorC
And the men in the vinyl diner seats
                E minorEm
They got their hands clasped so tightly
         D MajorD           G+G   C majorC E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
Sending their prayers up to the father above

              C majorC
I used to know that father well
             E minorEm
And then some say that I fell
             D MajorD
And I guess I've got the scars to prove 'em right
     G+G             C majorC
There's a sign at the end of that road
            E minorEm
Says it's as far as cars can go
            D MajorD            G+G      C majorC E minorEm C majorC D MajorD C majorC
And if you wanna go any further, you are gonna have to walk


CHORUS:
           A minorAm
Some people walk and some people ride
      FF         G+G
Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven
  C majorC           A minorAm
The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight
      FF           G+G           C majorC   E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I can't carpool to heaven, but I'd like to get there alright


There's a billboard from Jesus
    C majorC
On the way to New Orleans
    E minorEm               D MajorD
And the billboard from Jesus says that it's for lease
    G+G
Well, he might just be bones and dust
    C majorC
And the thing that saved my life
    E minorEm           D MajorD         G+G    C majorC E minorEm C majorC D MajorD C majorC
I got a brother looking out for me on the angels' side

CHORUS:
           A minorAm
Some people walk and some people ride
      FF         G+G
Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven
  C majorC           A minorAm
The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight
      FF           G+G           C majorC   E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC  G+G
And I can't carpool to heaven, but I'd like to get there alright


                C majorC
Today we learned the truth too late
           E minorEm
We reminded ourselves not to hesitate
         D MajorD                  G+G
Held on a little tighter to the ones that we've still got
              C majorC
And I held my guitar like a life raft
           E minorEm
Holding me up in the mine shaft
       D MajorD     G+G
Digging up a dream I still believe


BRIDGE:
C majorC             A minorAm        FF  G+G
Oh, I think it's gonna be alright, alright, al--right
C majorC             A minorAm        FF  G+G    C majorC
Oh, I think it's gonna be alright, alright, al--right


CHORUS:
           A minorAm
Some people walk and some people ride
      FF         G+G
Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven
  C majorC           A minorAm
The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight
      FF           G+G
And I can't carpool to heaven, but I'd like to get there


CHORUS:
C majorC          A minorAm
Some people walk and some people ride
      FF         G+G
Some people carpool to heaven, carpool to heaven
  C majorC           A minorAm
The stars fall heavy over Arkansas tonight
      FF           G+G          C majorC   E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
