verse 1
Em
Rode south before the winter
G
I took shelter in your eyes
Cadd9
Pushed all the way to Brooklyn
Dsus4 Em
Didn't ask for nothin' but a place to spend the night
Em
And I know that there's a reason
G
Why the rains keep roaming in
Cadd9
The creosote is blooming
Dsus4
The winds are busy crooning
Em
And the stark is turning in
Em
They say Boy, you're looking skinny
G
Should you really go this hard?
Cadd9
You're doing it for nothing
Dsus4
These risky miles your truckin'
Em
Are crazy as they are far
Cadd9 Dsus4 G Dsus4/F# Em Dsus4/F#
Can you tell me about the moon that rises earlier up north
Cadd9
Through the hills were they sing
Dsus4
In the early part of spring
G Dsus4/F# Em Dsus4/F#
Where the road goes on forever like the pictures that we see
Cadd9 Dsus4
And are you lost and scared and tired
Em
When we can't see
G
AAHH AAHHHH AHHHH
Em G
AAHH AAHHHH AHHHH
Cadd9 D
AAHH AAHHHH AHHHH
verse 2
Em
And I've never felt the wind blow
G
Like they do in Tennessee
Cadd9
They weren't all that strong
Dsus4
But carried them a song
Em
That reminded you to me
Em
They say Boy, you're looking skinny
G
Should you really go this hard?
Cadd9
You're doing it for nothing
Dsus4
These risky miles your truckin'
Em
Are crazy as they are far
Cadd9 Dsus4 G Dsus4/F# Em Dsus4/F#
Can you tell me about the moon that rises earlier up north
Cadd9
Through the hills were they sing
Dsus4
In the early part of spring
G Dsus4/F# Em Dsus4/F#
Where the road goes on forever like the pictures that we see
Cadd9 Dsus4
And are you lost and scared and tired
Em
When we can't see
Bridge
Cadd9 G
Cause the sun won't rise
Cadd9 G Dsus4/F# Cadd9
If the moon don't rip her from the sky
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9
It's a help in keeping whole
D
So we'll rest when we get home
Cadd9
I'm strung out and far gone
D
I feel all alone
Em G Cadd9
The winding of the river makes me want to find my way back home
D
My way back home
Cadd9
My way back home
D
My way back home
Cadd9
My way back home
D
My way back home
Cadd9
My way back home
D
My way back home
verse 3
Em
Cause I know it's not forever
G
Cause I can only go so long
Cadd9
One day I'll get to dying
Dsus4
So the only thing worth trying
Em
Is leaving you a song
Em
And I'll play it if you want to
G
I've been playing it my whole life
Cadd9
I'll chase you across the desert
Dsus4
The prairies and the mountains
Em
Towards pleasantries and strife
Bridge
Cadd9 Dsus4
Cause the sun can't rise
Cadd9 G Dsus4/F# Cadd9
If the moon don't rip her from the sky
G Dsus4/F# Cadd9
It's a help in keeping lost
D
And scared and tired
D
When you can't see
Cadd9 D
And lost and scared and tired
D
When they run free
Cadd9 D
And lost and scared and tired
Em
When you can't see
