great song off the album VII!
guitar chords by joshuaRobot
lyrics by someone else on the internet
standard tuning
intro:
D Bm C F 2x
Verse 1:
It was Ejust as I was lBmeaving
Throw some cAhange up on the Gbar
She caEught my eye through the swiGnging door
She was sDtanding out by my cAar
I said I thEought you moved to the Bmcity girl
No I Anever did find the Gtime
Ive been Ewasting away at my Gsisters place
Just Dnorth of the county Aline
Verse 2: //same chords as first, no lyrics for first half
Well I gazed out across the gravel lot
To the road that leads to town
Thinking all the ways that I broke your heart
Yeah, thinking how it all went down
Chorus:
And I said its a Estrange thing to Bmsee you now
Ive been Drunning so Along on the Gsame old Dground
Gonna Erattle these chains till the Bmmorning light
If I Dever loved Aonce, you know
GI never loved Dright by
Eyou Bmooooooh Aooooooh Eoooooooh
Bmoooooh Dooooooh Aooooooh Eoooooooh
//Bm D A E also works for the first set of "ooohs" (instead of E Bm A E)
//but i like the D to E sound better coming from the end of the chorus
//Those are all of the chords. the rest of the song uses the same progressions
Verse 3:
So we go up to the turnpike
Where the whole world turns to sky
I took her hand, but she drew away
Like a bird getting ready to fly
She said I ain’t so young, and I met someone
He’s a rock that just won’t roll
And I gotta find out, if you only love once
Or does love keeṗ coming to call
Chorus:
Cause it’s a strange thing to see you now
I’ve been running so long on the same old ground
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right by you
Intro
Verse 4:
There’s a half built house in the potter’s field
All the timbers are turned to gray
There’s an old brown dog living on the porch
I seen him just the other day
Well I laid those planks, and I drove those nails
But it never did satisfy
And a man must forfeit all he owns
For a glimpse at the reason why
Chorus:
It’s a strange thing to see you now
I’ve been running so long on the same old ground
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right
And it’s a strange thing to see you here
If the world don’t mine, yeah you better leave the keys
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right by you
