guitar chords lyrics
Intro: Hammering on and off between D and Dsus2 and touching on Em
Verse 1:
D Dsus2
There's a pain the west,
D Dsus2
a sinking feeling deep down in their chests.
Dsus2 Em
A little a girl, a town with her name,
Dsus2 Em
her daddy died before she had came.
Verse 2:
Cadd9 Em D
To see the place and just how it laid to waste.
Dsus2 Em Dsus2
The rain it came and did not stop.
Dsus 2 Em Dsus2
All the streets filling up to their tops,
Dsus2 Em Dsus2
it's coming up to their knees,
Dsus 2 Em Dsus2
the river had its way it did as it pleased.
C Em
On the water's sheen there's rainbows of gasoline.
Outro: (Repeat x2)
Dsus2 Em
Lord of mine where have you been?
Dsus2 Em
When there's trouble you are nowhere to be seen.
Dsus2 Em
A little town like a lamb.
Dsus2 Cadd9 Em
Well a lion come down and took their dam.
Em Cadd9 Dsus2
February was lean, and March came to scream.
