Played on a twelve string with the high E strings tuned down to D.
intro
A7sus4 D Aadd4 G
A7sus4A worn out joke to keep the Dflies away
Aadd4Carried it this Gfar
Got the A7sus4westside winds keep it stDeady
Aadd4Bury the hatchets we Gfind
A7sus4Could carry that heavy Dload
Aadd4If I really thought it would Gmatter
E7Farcical hair apAadd4pears
E7As a blind side
A7sus4Clean the Dslate
Chorus
A7sus4Working in the halls of Dshame
Lay it Gdown in full view
Lay it Em7down
What the hell were we thinking
Before the fire burned out
Can't find you now
Didn't know you then
Loneliness drinks the bitters
Till the cold wind's warm again
To feel born again
Mouth open wide, screams and hollers
Chorus
Gambled once and won, never made a dollar
Beauty fades to gray
I pray the very best will guard her
And provide a way
There's a telltale sign
And it's chairs up, time to go
Chorus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
a neat way to tie the "A" chords to the G and D are to slide the "E"
note fretted on the second string up to the fourth fret, and then pull
it off.
