CD, hence the minor differences
compared to the album version
Capo Fret 2
Listen for strumming, it's great in this song
[Intro]
Am F C F C
[Verse]
F
She lifts her skirt up to her knees
C
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
F
I never learned to count my blessings
C
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters
Am
Walk on down the hill
E
Through the grass grown tall and brown
F C
And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain
Am
On past the busted back
E
Of that old and rusted Cadillac
F C
That sinks into this field collecting rain
[Bridge]
C G F Am E
Will I always feel this way
C G F Am E E7
So empty, so estranged
Am
[Verse]
F
Of these cutthroat busted sunsets,
C
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
F
If through my cracked and dusty dime store lips
C
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me
Am
Lay your blouse across the chair
E
Let fall the flowers from your hair
F C
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain
Am
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
