verse 1: 
                    D 
That night in Des Moines 
                Em7 
Goner'd streets dying 
       G 
Sunset buildings 
              D 
Cut with shade 

We sent our smoke 
               Em7 
Up through the streetlights 
            G 
We sent our prayers out 
                 D 
Through an old P.A. 
                  Em7 
That night in Des Moines 
                  D 
That night in Des Moines 


verse 2: 

That night in Des Moines 
             Em7 
Too late for supper 
         G 
Yeah, we sat at the bar 
                   D 
And we drank three beers 

And we watched the house 
                Em7 
Filling up with no one 
      G 
But god was listening 
                     D 
And he cupped his ear 
                  Em7 
That night in Des Moines 
                  D 
That night in Des Moines
