'The Truth is in the dirt'
written by Karen Elson
theres a lot of steel guitar on this song
you could easily substitute a slide to improvise most of it.

Capo(ed) on the 2nd Fret
Intro Am E x6

Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground

Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
F E
not in your gilded cage with your rusted spoon
F E
when the ground splits open it will swallow you

Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
F E
not in your poison tongue or your acid tears
F E
let the truth howl in your ears

F G Am
Here she comes it's killing time
F G E
flames are burning behind her eyes
F G Am
here she comes it's killing time
F G E
flames are burning behind her eyes

Am E x2
Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
F E
Not in your claws drawn-out scratch 'til it bleeds
F E
knocked down dead gets what she needs
Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground
F E
not on a blazing horse from the midnight sun
F E
the fire will turn your bones to dust
F G Am
Here she comes it's killing time
F G E
flames are burning behind her eyes
F G Am
here she comes it's killing time
F G E
flames are burning behind her eyes

Am E x2
Am E
The truth is in the dirt on the ground

when the ground splits open it will swallow you
