Angola's Lament - Sam Riggs and the Night People Dm G
DmAngola ain't no place to be DmIt's for the lost who once were free CFields of fear stretched far and wide DmAnd razor wire goes to the sky DmI make my round to the fields all day DmWhile the prisoners work their sins away CShotgun pGerched upon my leg DmOn a sixteen hands tall thorough bred
They sing Dmain't no way to mend a broken heart DmAin't no way tGo mend a broken heart DmAin't no way to mend a broken heart CDevil holds Gthe key DmThere ain't no way to mend a broken heart DmAin't no wGay to mend a broken heart DmAin't no way to mend a broken heart But toC get Gdown on your knees
DmDesperation in a troubled man DmSpreads like poison in this land CI've seen it Gall from this saddle son DmYeah God rest yer soul if you try to run Oh now aDmsh to ash and dust to dust DmYou're here because yer dreams went bust CJust put Gthat pick axe in the ground DmKeep on moanin' that lonesome sound
ThereDm ain't no way to mend a broken heart DmAin't no way to mend a broken heart DmAin't no way to mend a broken heart CDevilG holds the key TherDme ain't no way to mend a broken heart DmAin't no way to mend a broken heart DmAin't no way to mend a broken heart But Cto get Gdown on your knees
[Instrumental] Dm C G Dm C G Dm (strum once) When the cold wind blew through that old screen door You didn't hear their screams no more Blood on the walls and across the floor Lord, what did ya do?
YouDm drug ‘em down to that old oak tree DmDug a hole ‘neath the tire swing DmWiped a tear threw in the ring And a saCwed oGff shotgun too
You lDmet ‘em down in the cold hard ground DmSide by side the way you found ‘em DmFallin' rain didn't make a sound CThat's when Gyou knew
DmThere ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart Devil holds the key
There Dmain't no way to mend a broken heart DmAin't no way to mend a broken heart DmAin't no way to mend a broken heart But to Cget dowGn on your knees
[Outro] Dm C G
