More chords by Cary Ann Hearst

Genre: folk, americana, alt-country


A very rough attempt; every C has various simple hammer-ons and pull-offs to

country it

up a bit. Enjoy, this is a class song from a class album.
CAPO 4
C
In a vacant old park
C
I watched from the dark
F
The old church was on fire
Fm
I buried my lighter
C E Am
So no one could tell I was runnin
F Fm C
God forgive me but he had it comin
C
She was barely fifteen
C
midwest town sleepy scene
F
I was two grades above her
Fm
Completely in love with her
C E Am
One look from those eyes I was done in
F Fm C
God forgive me but he had it comin
D G
It was deadly crooked fangs
C E Am
But outside a church-bell clangs
F C G Am
Well rise and fall, curtain call
D G
Build around your heart a wall
F C G Am
Brick and stone both thick and tall
D G
Build around your heart a wall

With my hand on her head

In a hospital bed

In the secrets she kept

That would lead to her death

Well the fucker had took what he wanted

And I promised he'd get what was comin

But she never made a sound

When he pushed her to the ground

Well rise and fall, curtain call

Build around your heart a wall

Of brick and stone both thick and tall

Build around your heart a wall

I tried to keep breathin

As the last car was leavin
