Played on a twelve string with the high E strings tuned down to D.
intro
D7sus4 C Aadd4 C
D7sus4A worn out joke to keep the Cflies away
Aadd4Carried it this Cfar
Got the D7sus4westside winds keep it stCeady
Aadd4Bury the hatchets we Cfind
D7sus4Could carry that heavy Cload
Aadd4If I really thought it would Cmatter
A7Farcical hair apAadd4pears
A7As a blind side
D7sus4Clean the Cslate
Chorus
D7sus4Working in the halls of Cshame
Lay it Cdown in full view
Lay it Am7down
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.
