Mat Kearney – Rochester
Capo 4
CI was born in Rochester Fto a book making man
Chad a fake cigar shop with the gaGmes on in the back
Csee them coming and going letting it ridFe on thorough breads
Cthe police chief and tom hall wondering Gwhat was the spCread
CI carried rich man’s bags through brieFr trying to chase down a little white ball
Clearned that any soft place wasnG't good for me at all
Cdaddy'd come home fired up lookiFng for some sort of release
Che'd beat the hell of Timmy and GTimmy'd beat the hell out of meC
FI would hop the fence out to those government fields C
Frun till there was nothing left Cto feel
Flying there watching planes justC disappear
Gknowing one day I’m gonna fly on out oCf here
Cthe same police chief came knocking my fFirst freshman day
pCut my daddy in handcuffs and his picGture on the front page
Ctook every one of his suits and all mFy dignity
CI’d walk the halls of irodiquiGe waiting for any punk Cto set me free
FI would hop the fence out to those government fields C
Frun till there was nothing left Cto feel
Flying there watching planes justC disappear
Gknowing one day I’m gonna fly on out oCf here
Cgot that call to Vietnam just liFke everyone else i knew
Cso scared of the hand grenades through them fartGher than any other troop
Ccame home like an iron fist and FTimmy tried to take my keys
Cripped open his from pocket that was the last tiGme he touched mCe
Cmoved to an island out west and Fup to Breckenridge
Cmet a mermaid on a glass boat and she prGomised me some kids
Cbought a house in Oregon where you couldF touch both of the walls
Chad a son named Benjamin and i wGas so scared of it alCl
Interlude (same as Verses)
Cwell Benjamin walked in the front room where I wFas cutting up my hash
Clooked into his deep blue eyes wondering wGhy I’d been so mad
Cflushed a quarter pound down the drain praying for the mFercy to confess
Ctrying to rip the boy from Rochester rigGht out of my chCest
Fwere gonna walk right out into those heavenly fiCelds
Frun like there was no more time to stealC
Fmy three boys and the grace of god reveaCled
Gknowing one day you're gonna take me out of hereC
Gknowing one day you're gonna take me out of hereC
The Chords are in the right spot but listen for the change so you know when to
switch, it is really obvious!! This is one of my favorite songs he plays and
there are tones of youtube video to watch him play it! Enjoy!!
