G C Am
Black houses in the hill and roadside hearts
D
Dying for a place to fall apart
G C Am
Who knew what you could learn to live without
D
Mother Mary's lying in your mouth
Bm Em Am
Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine

and every girl has got an axe to grind
Bm Em
You left to look for heaven
Am D
But you're far from that hard light tonight

verse 3: use verse 1 chords
So quietly we've lost another year
the desert put a babbler in your ear
mean firewood and I miss you again
Barstow boys are spit into the wind
Bm Em Am
Back home the kitchen's warm with Christmas wine
D
and every girl has got an axe to grind
Bm Em
You left to look for heaven
Am D
But you're far from that hard light tonight
