1st verse
Am C F Fmaj7
I made a promise to not let go
C C/G F
Our tug of war has only made me want you more
C C/G F Fmaj7
Steeped in hard luck and doomed to roam
F Am riff
My love is braver than you know
2nd verse
My forefathers they worked this land
And I was schooled in the tyranny of nature’s plans
Dressed in thunder a cloud came round
In the shape of a lion a hand came down
Chorus-
F C
Damn this valley
F C
Damn this cold
C C/G F Am
Take so long to let me know
F C F C
It’s plant and reap and plow and sow
C Am7 or B7*
But tell me will it grow
(intro riff x2)
(mini solo)
3rd verse
Dig my ditches in the golden sun
I’d be robbing these trains if I could catch me one
Sunday Monday now Tuesday’s gone
Got me stone cold sober in a drought so long
Boarded mansions and ghost filled yards
There’s a boy in a water tower counting cars
Steel traps open and empty stalls
There’s a well worn saddle but the horse is gone
Chorus
(intro riff x2)
(Solo 2)
4th verse
Jet black starlit midnight rolls
I am down in the garden where I let go
Here on the surface the earth looks round
But it’s a godless city of cold flat ground
Chorus
(End the song on the intro riff)
