Minneapolis by Lucinda Williams from the album World Without Tears

Intro G/G/G/G/G/G/G/G

G                                 A
I’ve been waiting for you to come back 
            C        G                  since you left Minneapolis
                                            
                      D
Snow covers the streetlamps and the 
        C
windowsills
                                                  G               D               C    
The buildings and the brittle crooked trees
                                            G                  D    G        
Dead leaves of December, thin skinned and 
     D
splintered
                                            
G              D                   C
Never gotten used to this bitter winter
                                                      G                A
I’ve been wasted angry and sad since you 
C          G
left Minneapolis

                                                                    D
I wish my thoughts were pure like the 
    C
driven snow
                                            
         G               D
Like the heavens and the spring’s virgin 
 C
buds
                                                     G                       D   G     
But they strangled me with their sin, fill 
           D      
me up with poison
                                            G                 D               C
Black clouds have covered up the sun again
                                                  G               A             C
I can always trace it back to that night in 
     G
Minneapolis
                                                                D          C
Here on the seventh floor in a room I can’t 
          
call mine
                                            G               D                C         
Deadbolt on the door, do not disturb sign

G             D        
Shaking and trembling
G                   D           
On the clean white linen
                                            G                   D
Slivers of starlight danced across the 
C
ceiling
                                              G            A                 C
A dozen yellow roses all that’s left in 
     G
Minneapolis
                               
                  D                 C
I wish I’d never seen your face or heard 

your voice
                                                     G              D            C
You’re a bad pain in my gut, I wanna spit 
       
you out
                                            G             D          G             
Open up this wound again, let my blood flow 
D            
red and thin

G          D        G          D        G
Into the glistening, into the whiteness 
                                           
          D                  C        G
Into the melting snow of Minneapolis
