(capo on 2) Intro (and basic pattern): A- A E D/ x2
(V): A rifle sits behind her sleeping ear
Echo on the cold wall, closest neighbour couldn't hear
We dug a hole in the fall
So now its a frozen burial - - And she's gone, just before the new year
Well I'm gonna build a cross for her spot between the trees And stick it in firm so it won't sway in the breeze You and I have trouble making up our half-assed minds But she'd seen sixteen years of our kind What's it like, when your memories start to freeze
E Fe D A (C): Oh, and I wonder E Fe D A What it is about dogs and thunder E Fe D A E Fe D A What they hear, coming over the field E Fe D A Back hall shelter, warm nights in summer E Fe D A Shaking the ground that you lie under E Fe Well I know you're not here D A E Fe D A But at least you don't feel it anymore
(A- A E D) x2
(B): And I came to see you, on the day that it happened
You said "Hey sorry Sar, but I gotta go"
And I was trying to read, some sort of reaction
Something you just can't show
So I guess it's time I go
(V): Across the snowy barnyard, just past the driving shed Shadow of me in the moon, well I was in the movie in my head This pile of dirt on the ground Will sink when nobody's around Winter covers everything, but everything's not dead
(C): Oh, and I wonder...
Well I know you're not here But at least you don't feel it anymore Well I know you're not here But at least you don't fear it anymore
Slightly strange chords: A- 002200 Fe 044200
Notes: I don't think the ends of the chorus are right, but it sounds okay that way. Playable without the capo, as I find it easier to sing that way. Drop me a note if you use this, or are at all interested.
